Anyone can now add it with a single click, no developer mode required, and with OpenAI's seal of approval that the app is safe and trustworthy. This is huge.\n\nHead over to [https://chatgpt.com/apps](https://chatgpt.com/apps?ref=patent.dev), search for \"patents\", and wire your chatbot straight into the patent offices.\n\nYou can also reach it from inside ChatGPT: open Settings, go to the Apps section, and click **Explore apps**.\n\nSearch for \"patents\" - and yes, apparently Patent Connector is the only app that shows up. 🙃\n\nSelect it, click **Connect**, then **Sign in with Patent Connector**.\n\nIf you don't have a patent.dev account yet (or aren't logged in), just enter your email address.\n\nThis creates an account if needed, signs you in, and redirects you back to ChatGPT to link the two accounts.\n\nFor new accounts, confirm your setup through the link in the email.\n\nTo actually pull data from the patent offices, register with each one, grab a free API key, and paste it into your patent.dev account.\n\nHere's what a successful USPTO connection looks like.\n\nNow jump back to ChatGPT and start chatting with Patent Connector active. You're pulling first-hand data straight from the offices - not piped through Google Patents or any other intermediary.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/chatgpt-published-patent-connector", "canonical_source": "https://patent.dev/chatgpt-published-patent-connector/", "published_at": "2026-05-22 16:49:50+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-20 11:43:56.057471+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools", "large-language-models"], "entities": ["OpenAI", "ChatGPT", "Patent Connector", "patent.dev", "USPTO"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/chatgpt-published-patent-connector", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/chatgpt-published-patent-connector.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/chatgpt-published-patent-connector.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/chatgpt-published-patent-connector.jsonld"}}
