How to use each tool: what it does and doesn't do, what to prepare, the steps, what you get and what it costs. Pick a tool below, or start with Account and credits.

Before you build

  • Patentability AssessmentDescribe your technology and find out whether it can be written up as a patent, and from which angles.
  • Innovation Mining (TRIZ)Describe a technical problem you are stuck on and get several R&D directions, built by breaking down contradictions and matching inventive principles.
  • R&D Roadmap PlanningTurn a technical problem into an R&D roadmap built on a real patent search, with testable hypotheses, a verification checklist and next directions.
  • UK Patent Feasibility ScreeningFind five directions you could file in the UK from a technical description or business plan, and see which parts UK law excludes from patent protection.

Writing the patent

  • Invention Disclosure PreparationTurn scattered R&D material into a structured technical disclosure, backed by a real prior-art search.
  • Patent Application DraftingTurn an invention you have actually made into a complete first-draft patent application for your patent attorney to review.
  • AI Content VerificationCheck patent text an AI helped write. Patent numbers, quotes, figures and statute citations are checked one by one, and you get a list of items to verify.

Before you launch

  • FTO ScreenBefore launch, find the US and Chinese patents closest to your product. How to run the screen, what you get, and what it costs.
  • Design-Around AnalysisWhen one patent blocks your product, find possible routes around it, or build a new product design from expired patents.

Translation and more

  • Filing-Format Patent TranslationTranslate a patent application between Chinese and English or Chinese and German, delivered as an editable Word file in filing format.
