Paid trial first. Production key after proof.
PatentChecker is sold in two steps: start with a paid 2-week trial in your environment, then buy an annual production key if the monitoring workflow proves out.
Public downloads and verification stay open. Live monitoring, issued runtime access, and ongoing runs are scoped separately from the platform Growth and Scale subscriptions.
Run PatentChecker in your environment with an issued evaluation key, seeded watchlists, and a weekly review loop. The fee is credited toward a production key when the trial converts.
- • 1 to 3 watchlists

Frequently asked questions
We issue an evaluation key, scope the watchlists, and run a weekly review loop in your environment. The paid evaluation fee is credited toward production if the workflow converts.
If the workflow proves out, you buy an annual production key sized to your watchlists, cadence, and deployment model. Standard production keys start at $18k per year.

No. The demo bundles, verification receipts, and standalone runtime downloads remain public so buyers can verify the system before commercial rollout.
Yes. The default path is trialing inside your own environment with the same verification assets you will use in production.
Yes, when prior diligence is already complete. Most teams still use the paid 2-week trial to lock the watchlist scope, operator workflow, and procurement packet first.
