#64 – Analizo Directamente Las Patentes De Amazon
In March 2024 Helium 10 launched the Patent Analyzer, a tool that indexes over 12 million U.S. and international patents and lets sellers search by ASIN or keyword. It returns up to 15 patent matches, assigns a 1‑10 risk score, flags design gaps and allows CSV export of up to 200 entries per month, with a free‑tier of 10 lookups.
Overview
In March 2024 Helium 10 rolled out a new “Patent Analyzer” that lets Amazon sellers investigate the patent environment surrounding any product or keyword without leaving the platform. The tool surfaces relevant U.S. and international patents, assigns a risk rating, and highlights design opportunities, helping sellers avoid infringement notices and uncover fresh product ideas before they commit to inventory.
Key Points
- 12 million patent records — Helium 10’s database now includes more than twelve million patent entries from the United States and key foreign jurisdictions, enabling instant searches from the dashboard.
- ASIN‑driven matches — Typing an existing ASIN (for example, B08L5N7R9K for a silicone spatula) returns up to fifteen patents that directly relate to that product, such as US 10,123,456 for a heat‑resistant kitchen utensil.
- Numeric risk score — Each patent match is given a score from 1 to 10; a score of 8 for a “retractable bottle opener” signals a high probability of infringement and prompts a deeper legal review.
- Design‑gap alerts — The analyzer flags patents that cover only part of a product’s feature set, pointing out missing elements that sellers can add to create a non‑infringing, differentiated version.
- Exportable CSV reports — Users can download a spreadsheet containing patent numbers, filing dates, claim excerpts, and Helium 10’s suggested actions for up to 200 entries per month.
- Free‑tier allowance — The basic Helium 10 plan includes ten patent lookups each month, giving newcomers a low‑risk way to test the feature before upgrading.
How Patent Analysis Works
- Open Patent Analyzer — From the main Helium 10 interface, click the “Patent Analyzer” tab; the screen presents a search bar and a brief tutorial on entering ASINs or keywords.
- Submit a reference — Enter either an Amazon ASIN (e.g., B07XYZ1234 for a bamboo cutting board) or a keyword phrase such as “adjustable laptop stand,” and the system immediately pulls matching patent records.
Analysis & Recommendations
Why This Matters
The analyzer gives sellers a fast, data‑driven way to spot infringement risk (e.g., a 9‑point risk on a double‑wall bottle) and uncover design opportunities, reducing reliance on manual Google Patents searches and potentially saving weeks of development time.
Key Takeaways
- Helium 10’s Patent Analyzer database now holds more than 12 million patent records.
- The tool returns up to 15 patents per ASIN and assigns a numeric risk score from 1 to 10.
- Free‑tier users receive 10 patent lookups each month; paid plans can export up to 200 CSV entries monthly.
- Design‑gap alerts highlight missing features, enabling sellers to add differentiators like a non‑slip silicone grip.
Recommended Actions
- →In Helium 10, open the Patent Analyzer tab, enter your product ASIN or keyword, and review the risk scores displayed.
- →If a high risk (≥8) appears, adjust the product design (e.g., change wall thickness) before ordering inventory.
- →Export the results as a CSV from the analyzer and archive the report for legal review.
