Skipping the screen wastes time and money

Most idea problems surface within minutes

Someone already did it

Many "new ideas" already have close counterparts. A quick screen catches the collision early and saves wasted R&D and filing costs.

Innovation you can't articulate

It feels novel, but you can't say what's new. The diagnosis breaks out your potential innovation points and tests whether they hold up.

Directional pitfalls nobody warned you about

Ineligible subject matter, pure algorithms with no implementation, effects backed by nothing but claims — the earlier you know these traps, the more time you have to adjust.

What you get from the diagnosis

Not a yes/no verdict — a screen you can act on

Multi-angle checkup

Your idea is reviewed from multiple angles — novelty direction, innovation points, common risks — showing where it's strong and where it's thin.

Innovation point breakdown

The potential innovation points in your description are extracted, with their likely value and the evidence that most needs strengthening.

Next-step recommendations

Tailored next steps: mine breakthrough directions with TRIZ, search prior art first, or go straight into R&D exploration.

How it works (3 steps)

  1. 1

    Describe the technical solution

    No patent jargon needed. Explain what problem you solve, how you solve it, and how it differs from existing approaches.

  2. 2

    Automatic diagnosis in minutes

    The tool analyzes your description from multiple angles, mapping innovation points and risk points.

  3. 3

    Follow the recommendations

    With the diagnosis and action advice in hand, send the result to TRIZ innovation mining in one click, or follow the advice into search or R&D exploration.

Start the diagnosis

To be clear: this is a direction screen, not a grant prediction

The diagnosis is a fast multi-angle analysis of your description to help you decide whether to keep investing. It is not a patentability opinion and does not predict grant. An actual filing needs real R&D, a full prior-art search, and review by a licensed patent attorney or agent.

FAQ

How is it priced?

Sign-up includes 2 runs; after that each run costs 1 credit. New users also get 25 bonus credits.

I don't know patent terminology. Can I use it?

Yes — it's designed exactly for that. Describe the solution in engineering terms: what problem it solves, how, and what's different from existing approaches.

If the diagnosis looks positive, will my patent be granted?

No. The diagnosis is a first-pass screen based on your description and makes no grant predictions. Grant depends on real R&D, a full search, and application quality — rely on a licensed attorney or agent's opinion.

The diagnosis flags high risk. Should I drop the idea?

Not necessarily. Many risks can be designed around by adjusting the technical approach. The diagnosis suggests possible adjustments, and you can take the idea to TRIZ mining for a different angle of attack.

Is my idea safe here?

Your input is used only for this diagnosis. For highly confidential details, describe only as much as needed to judge the direction. Results are saved to your run history, where you can delete them at any time.

What comes after the diagnosis?

Depends on the result: send it to TRIZ innovation mining to systematically find breakthroughs, run a patent search to see how far others have gone, or dive into R&D exploration if the direction is already clear.

Disclaimer

This tool provides a fast first-pass analysis based on your description. It is not legal advice, a patentability search, or a grant prediction. Decisions on whether and how to file should rest on the formal opinion of a qualified patent attorney or agent.
