What’s New

This page tracks GoVeda product updates. New releases are added here as features ship.

July 28, 2026

Single-Call Semantic Search — A new POST /api/search/v2 returns semantic search results in one request instead of submit-then-poll

July 23, 2026

One-Card FTO Intake — Start an FTO report from a single form card instead of a multi-turn Q&A, then follow live generation progress without leaving the chat

Smoother Report Chat — A live thinking reveal, a clear pre-generation scope summary for landscape reports, progress that survives page reloads, and analysis-angle notices that appear only when the analysis was actually redirected

Better Patent Reading — Old scanned patents render as clean text instead of raw scan artifacts, paragraph numbers can be selected and copied, the language switcher correctly marks the true original document, and family legal-status badges are localized with clearer colors for inactive patents

Pick Up Where You Left Off — Going back from a patent returns you to where you were reading in a report, new searches appear in the history sidebar immediately, and long-running items no longer linger as placeholders after finishing

Your Language Sticks — Your language choice is no longer reset when arriving from bookmarks or search results, and marketing page titles, pagination controls, FTO expiry notes, and navigation terms now all follow your language

Date Filters That Just Work — Search, count, and prior-art date filters now accept plain numeric dates like 20200101 instead of silently returning no results

Polish & Reliability — Long unbroken names and queries wrap instead of overflowing, buttons show the pointer cursor again, out-of-range result pages land on the last valid page, emoji no longer count toward minimum description length, patent summaries return a clear error for invalid patent numbers right away, the refreshed logo reaches sign-in and emails, and the site no longer crashes when a browser blocks local storage

Sturdier Patent Tools for Agents — Report summaries always include flagged prior-art titles and scores, batch and report lookups name exactly which publication numbers weren’t found, and invalid search filters return readable error messages

July 10, 2026

Smarter Report Intake — FTO and Landscape reports now review your description upfront, pre-fill details you already provided, and ask targeted clarifying questions before generation starts

Clearer Query Guidance — Too-short or unclear report queries now explain exactly what’s needed — in the header search, report forms, and non-English queries alike — instead of returning a generic error

Widget Actions That Work Everywhere — Patent, search, and report cards inside ChatGPT and Claude now open reliably on GoVeda, search cards gained a View-on-GoVeda link, and in-card credit actions work as expected

Connect GoVeda from ClickUp — ClickUp’s MCP connector can now link directly to GoVeda’s patent tools

Instant Free Trials — Free trials in AI-assistant integrations now activate automatically on first use, with no separate activation step

Cleaner Patent Citations — Non-patent literature lists no longer include placeholder entries mixed in with real references

Smarter Family Ordering — Patent family members are now listed with the most examiner-relevant jurisdictions and latest publications first, instead of arbitrary order

Patent Page Navigation — A new back button returns you to where you came from — a citation list, patent family, or search — alongside a redesigned quick-access chat shortcut

Consistent Report Names — The sidebar and Search Activities list now show one consistent name per report, and FTO reports are named after your product

Account & Privacy Controls — Password management is back in account settings, and cookie preferences can be reopened anytime from the site footer

Expanded Search Filters — New filter dimensions: company-level assignee, patent status (alive/dead), and expiration date

Classification & Party Lookup in MCP — New lookup_classifications tool finds the right CPC/IPC codes by keyword or symbol; new lookup_party tool resolves a free-text company name to its standardized assignee form for filtering
