Patlytics Brings Patent Intelligence into ChatGPT with New Plugin

NEW YORK, September 17, 2026. Patlytics, the AI-native patent lifecycle platform, today announced the availability of its plugin in ChatGPT Enterprise as part of OpenAI’s new offerings for law firms and the legal technology ecosystem, including Astra for Law. The Patlytics Plugin, built on Patlytics MCP, brings concept-level patent search and the firm's own patent data into ChatGPT for existing Patlytics customers.

Patent outcomes, wherever you work.

Frontier models have changed how legal work gets done, and for general-purpose legal work they carry it most of the way. Patent practice holds a higher bar. Prior art has to be found across 130M+ patents, claim language has to be exact, and the evidence has to hold up under scrutiny. Patlytics is built to that standard, with 99%+ verbatim excerpt accuracy, 200+ patent-specific Skills, and every answer traceable to source. It is why 55% of the Am Law 100 are powered by Patlytics.

"Frontier models have raised the ceiling for legal work. Patlytics brings the specialized patent intelligence needed to put that capability to work across complex patent workflows," said Paul Lee, CEO and co-founder of Patlytics. "We are proud to be building at the frontier alongside OpenAI. Innovation moves faster when patent work does."

Search in the Plugin is semantic rather than keyword-based. A practitioner describes how an invention works, the problem it solves, and its components, and Patlytics returns the most relevant patents. The Plugin exposes five read-only tools, each a structured, predictable call rather than a black box:

• Semantic patent search, optionally anchored to a reference patent
• Patent lookup, with bibliographic data and full claims
• Non-patent literature search across scientific and scholarly sources
• The organization's private patent portfolios
• The organization's Patent Vault
  

Each member signs in with their own Patlytics account, and results are scoped to their organization. Deeper work, including freedom-to-operate opinions, infringement and invalidity claim charts, and patent drafting, continues in the Patlytics platform, linked from every result. Patlytics' security standards carry through the integration, including Zero Data Retention and SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001 certifications.

The Patlytics Plugin is available today for existing Patlytics customers - add Patlytics to ChatGPT here.
