HOW IT WORKS

Patent AI does the heavy lifting. Your attorney makes every legal call.

The journey from capture to allowance, and who does what at each step.

1

Capture

Patent AI

Describe the invention in the portal, or let your agent capture it from a PR, design doc or meeting notes through our MCP in Claude or Cursor. Output: a structured invention record.

2

Check

Patent AI, software output

Prior art signals and a readiness score on the record. You see what is strong and what is missing before any money changes hands.

3

Decide

Your attorney, free 30 min

Your attorney reviews the record and the check with you. File or not, which plan, and the claim strategy. This is where the engagement letter is signed.

4

Protect

AI drafts, your attorney reviews and files

Provisional, then nonprovisional with drawings and forms. Filed on time or free. You approve the draft in the portal before anything is filed.

5

Defend

AI drafts, your attorney argues and signs

Office action responses, examiner interviews and an RCE if needed. Every deadline is on your matter timeline.

6

Grant and after

Platform docket, your attorney for continuations

Issue fee, maintenance docket, continuations quoted. Then the next invention.

Who does what.
