Fetch patents quickly with your iPhone or iPad

Accio Patent is the only patent barcode scanner and dial pad for iOS.

Scan a Barcode

Tap the barcode button to switch to scanning mode to fetch the patent or application publication automatically.

Accio Patent processes images on your device and never stores or transmits them.

Dial a Number

Type a patent or application publication number, then tap the button to fetch it.

Accio Patent sends the patent number directly to the patent office. I will not know who you are or which patents you are fetching.

"While Google Patents and other services have helped make things a little easier, there is no doubt that patent lawyers and agents would benefit from more modern options — such as Accio Patent’s solution directed at retrieving PDF copies of patents."
Gaston Kroub, Above the Law

"The app streamlines the task of fetching a patent in multiple ways. First, the app makes it as easy as possible to enter the patent number. You can type the number using a numeric keypad. Better yet, if you have access to a hard copy of the first page, you can tap the barcode button at the top right of the app to scan the barcode."
Jeff Richardson, iPhone J.D.
