Can AI write a patent application?

Yes, as a first draft. Describe your invention or upload what you have written, and in a few minutes you get a complete draft application: specification, claims and abstract, with background art cited from a real prior-art search and a list of the points only you can verify. A qualified patent attorney or agent still has to review it before you file. We do not file for you.

Where first drafts go wrong

Problems that usually surface after filing, when they are hardest to fix

The description can't support the claims

An embodiment, variant or value missing from the description generally can't be added after filing. A thin description quietly limits how far the claims can ever reach.

A general chatbot makes things up

Ask a general-purpose chatbot for a patent and it may cite prior art that doesn't exist or report test results nobody measured. Invented content in an application is the applicant's problem, not the chatbot's.

Attorney hours go on the basics

Walk in with loose notes and the first billable hours go on getting the invention written down. A structured draft lets that time go on claim scope and strategy instead.

What you get

A draft for your attorney to review, not a filing-ready application

A complete draft application

Specification (technical field, background, summary, detailed description with embodiments), claims and abstract, written for the office you pick: UK, China, US or Europe.

Prior art from a real search

The background cites patents that a search of real patent data actually returned. Cited patent numbers can only come from those results or from material you provided, so none are invented.

A check report and free section edits

A machine-check report lists where each number came from, the statements you must verify and the gaps left blank. Export to Word or PDF, and revise any section at no charge.

How it works

  1. 1

    Describe what you built

    Type out the technical solution, or upload your disclosure or an earlier draft, and pick the office. The draft stays with your material; anything the system had to propose beyond it is labelled as such.

  2. 2

    Get the draft in a few minutes

    The tool searches prior patents first, then writes the background, summary, claims and embodiments on that basis, and runs a machine check on the result.

  3. 3

    Verify it, then take it to an attorney

    Only you know whether a number was measured or an effect was tested. Work through the check report, edit sections as needed, then take the draft and the report to a qualified patent attorney or agent.

What this tool is, and what it isn't

It turns what you actually built into a structured first draft. It does not file applications, does not predict whether a patent will be granted, and does not replace a patent attorney: novelty, inventive step and claim scope are for the patent office and your attorney to judge. It will not invent experimental data, test results or measured values, and it writes one application per invention, never batches of variants.

Choosing an AI patent drafting tool

Five questions worth asking any tool, this one included

What does it draft from?

Tools differ: some start from an invention disclosure, some from claims you have already written, and some only proofread. This one starts from your disclosure or an earlier draft and writes the whole application (specification, claims and abstract) for the UK, China, the US or Europe.

Where do the cited patents come from?

Background art is cited only from a search of real patent data or from material you provided. A patent number that does not appear in those results is removed rather than shown.

What happens to details your notes don't cover?

Values and test results with no source in your material are blanked out or flagged, and the check report lists them for you to supply. Experimental data is never invented.

Is the price published?

Yes. A draft costs 50 credits with the cross-vendor review included, and revising sections is free. New accounts get 25 credits, and credit packs start at $12.

What happens to your unfiled disclosure?

It is not saved to our database. It sits in a temporary cache for up to 24 hours and is then deleted, and it is not used to train AI models. The AI providers that process it are named on our security page.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI write a patent application?

It can write a first draft, which is what this tool does: a full specification, claims and abstract built from your own material. It cannot decide whether the invention is new, whether the claim scope is right, or whether the technical content is true. A qualified patent attorney or agent needs to review the draft before anything is filed, and we never file on your behalf.

How do you write a patent description?

A patent description (the specification) usually runs: technical field, background art, summary of the invention, brief description of the drawings, and a detailed description with one or more embodiments. The detailed description must disclose enough for a skilled person to carry out the invention, and anything left out generally can't be added after filing. The tool writes each section in that order from your material.

How long does it take to draft a patent application?

Here, a first draft usually takes a few minutes; the cross-vendor review adds a few more. Working through the check report and the attorney's review take longer, and that time depends on the invention, not on the tool.

How much does it cost to draft a patent?

A draft costs 50 credits, whether it is for the EPO, the UK, the US or China; EP, GB and US applications are written in English. Every draft includes the cross-vendor review, where a model from a second vendor argues against the draft; in rare cases that review cannot run; the report says so and no credits are refunded. Revising sections is free. Attorney review and official filing fees are separate and are not paid here.

Can I write my own patent?

Yes. Many patent offices accept applications drafted and filed by inventors themselves, although some require a registered representative for applicants based abroad. The risk is in the drafting: claims that are too narrow, or a description that misses an embodiment, usually can't be fixed after filing. A sensible route is to write the first draft yourself, here or by hand, and pay a patent attorney or agent to review it rather than write it from scratch.

Can ChatGPT write a patent application?

It can produce text that looks like one. A general-purpose chatbot has no check on what it writes, so it may cite patents that don't exist or state test results nobody measured. This tool is built around those risks: cited patent numbers can only come from real search results, numbers with no source in your material are blanked out or flagged for you, and statements that read like measured results are listed for you to verify.

Patent drafting software or a patent drafting service: which do I need?

Drafting software, like this tool, turns your own material into a structured first draft in minutes at a published price. A drafting service is a patent attorney or agent who writes the application, and usually files it, for you, billed for their time. You can combine them: a first draft here, then review by a qualified professional before filing. This tool is software only and does not file applications.
