FAQs


Does Juristat train AI models on my data?
No. Juristat does not use customer content, data, queries, or prompts to train any AI model. The MCP server is stateless — it processes each request independently and retains no conversation data.
When I access Juristat through Claude, Copilot, or ChatGPT, who processes my data?
Your chosen AI tool processes your conversation — not Juristat. The AI interprets your question locally and constructs a narrow, structured query (for example, an examiner ID lookup). Only that structured query is sent to Juristat's MCP server. Your original question, conversation history, and any other context never leave your AI environment.
What data does Juristat access through the Data Layer MCP?
The Data Layer MCP gives you access to the same Juristat patent data you can see when you log into the website. Your access is tied to your existing account permissions — nothing more, nothing less.
Could privileged communications or work product reach Juristat?
Only if you explicitly upload them. Juristat's MCP server does not pull in privileged materials, draft claims, or documents from your environment. Juristat isolates customer data and provides auditors with evidence of that isolation as part of its annual SOC 2 audit.
Is our organization's data kept separate from other customers?
Yes. Your data is logically isolated from all other customers. Insights or outputs derived from your data cannot affect another customer's experience. Customer isolation is independently audited as part of Juristat's SOC 2 Type II certification.
Where is data stored and processed — is anything offshore?
Juristat's infrastructure and all USPTO data are hosted in the United States on AWS US-East-1. Customer data processed by Juristat's MCP server — including tool call parameters and any logs — remain within US AWS regions.
What types of customer data does Juristat collect beyond patent data?
Juristat collects standard usage telemetry similar to most web platforms. We also maintain access audit logs as required by contract and applicable regulations. These logs may include user information (name and email), access timestamps, and records of specific activity.
Can we arrange a full security review?
Yes. Contact your Juristat account representative or reach out at [email protected] to arrange a security review tailored to your organization's requirements. Our security team typically responds within two business days.
