about
zipIDS is a web application that automatically prepares an information disclosure statement (IDS) form. Simply input patent publication numbers and we'll do the rest, including automatically retrieving bibliographic information and populating the IDS form using the retrieved information. zipIDS supports U.S. patents and pre-grant publications as well as a wide range of foreign patent publications.

zipIDS accesses various APIs provided by the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) and the European Patent Office (EPO) in order to retrieve information needed to be included as a part of the IDS. zipIDS outputs the IDS form (pdf) to you for instant download. zipIDS includes many customizations, including options for downloading foreign patent publications as well as automatically attaching English translations of the abstract to the end of foreign patent publications.

zipIDS tracks user input history for future retrieval and stores generated IDS files and foreign patent publications on the cloud so they are accessible from anywhere and at any time.
