Terms

Terms of service

These terms govern your use of the IPNEX website, API and reports. By using IPNEX you agree to them. We have written them in plain language; where the law gives you rights, these terms do not take them away.

What IPNEX is, and what it is not

IPNEX is an independent patent intelligence and transaction platform. It compiles and interprets public patent data to help you assess licensing opportunities. IPNEX provides information, not legal, financial or investment advice. We are not a law firm and using IPNEX does not create an attorney-client relationship. Nothing here is a substitute for professional advice on your specific situation, and you remain responsible for your own decisions. IPNEX is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for any named institution, university or patent owner.

The data and its sources

Our analysis is built from public records: patent data via Google Patents (CC BY 4.0) and the USPTO (public domain). We work to be accurate and we mark a value as unknown rather than guess it, but public records contain errors and gaps and a record can change after we read it. Every report is a point-in-time snapshot of the public record on its generation date. We do not reproduce third-party listing content; we link to it.

Free use and the assistant

You may browse the site and use the assistant without an account. The free service is provided as-is, on a fair-use basis; we keep an anonymous counter to deter abuse (see our privacy notice) and we may rate-limit, suspend or change the free service at any time.

Paid reports

When you buy a diligence report you receive a compiled, AI-assisted analysis of a patent estate, delivered to you behind a private link and emailed to the address you give at checkout. Payment is taken by Stripe; your card details never touch IPNEX servers. The price shown at checkout is the price you pay. A report is watermarked and licensed to you personally for your own internal use: please do not redistribute, resell, publish or share it. Online access is generous but bounded (a stated number of re-views and a link expiry, both shown when you buy); the report itself, including the copy we email you, is yours to keep. For how money-back and cancellation work, see our refund policy.

Acceptable use

Please use IPNEX lawfully and in good faith. You agree not to scrape or bulk-extract the site beyond ordinary use, circumvent access controls or view limits, resell or redistribute reports, misrepresent your identity, or use IPNEX to infringe anyone's rights. We may suspend access that breaches these terms.

Intellectual property

The compilation, analysis, wording and presentation in an IPNEX report are owned by IPNEX and licensed to you for your own use as described above. The underlying public data keeps its own terms: Google Patents content is used under CC BY 4.0 (attribution preserved) and USPTO content is in the public domain. The IPNEX name and marks are ours.

Disclaimers and limit of liability

IPNEX is provided as-is and as-available, without warranties of any kind, including that the information is complete, current or fit for a particular purpose. To the fullest extent the law allows, IPNEX is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, and our total liability for any claim relating to the service or a report is limited to the amount you paid us for it. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Changes

We may update the service and these terms as the product grows; the current version always lives at this page, and material changes take effect when posted.
