Frequently Asked Questions

PatentAgility/TrademarkAgility combines public USPTO data with locally deployed AI, machine-learning, and natural language processing workflows. Except when retrieving public records needed for a task, substantive analysis runs on systems controlled by KellDann rather than through public third-party AI services. To be explicit, PatentAgility does not send substantive user inputs to ChatGPT, Gemini, or comparable public AI services.

Some computationally intensive tools require a free account so we can limit automated misuse, monitor performance, and keep the service available. We retain limited account and job metadata as described on the Security and Privacy page; substantive inputs and results remain transient and are not written to account history.

Some tools depend on carefully crafted queries, thresholds, and delivery rules. A short consultation helps tailor them to your needs and avoid irrelevant processing effort (and also annoying e-mails).

There are many, and you should never rely on this system exclusively. USPTO and other source data can be incomplete, delayed, or misleading. OCR, retrieval, and locally deployed models can produce incorrect results, and the software can contain bugs. Confirm important conclusions against the underlying records and apply professional judgment. The tools provide information, not legal advice, and using them does not create an attorney-client relationship with KellDann Law or its attorneys.

Generally, no - we simply operate with what the USPTO makes public, and it wouldn't do much good to just remove it from here because that same data is used many other places. If the USPTO is making something public that they shouldn't, the best move is to contact them directly.
