1 credit per run · 5 filing directions · minutes
Describe your technology and get five directions you could file on. Each comes with a proposed patent title, one line on what it would stop a competitor doing, and whether it can be drafted as it stands, needs recasting first, or cannot be filed at all.

Describe your technology and see whether it can be written up as a patent, and from which angles
1 credit(s) this run
Most of the problems show up on a single read of your description
Software and algorithm claims usually fail not because there is no technical core, but because the whole document talks about markets and user value. Rewording is often the entire fix — but someone has to tell you which words.
One body of technical material often splits into several independent applications, but from the inside you only see "our product". You cannot budget the filings until the directions are separated out.
Business rules, pricing strategy, pure presentation of information — no amount of rewording gets those granted. Better to know early and protect them another way.
Not a verdict, but five directions you can act on
Each with a proposed patent title, one line on what it would stop a competitor doing, and the verbatim span of your own material it came from.
Can be drafted as it stands, needs recasting, cannot be filed. Not high/medium/low — those three words do not tell you what to do next.
The technical problem and effect behind each direction, a skeleton independent claim, a map from your commercial words to engineering ones, what to use instead where a patent is out, and a filing roadmap. Exports to PDF and Word.
No patent jargon needed. Say what problem you solve, how you solve it, and what is different from existing practice. Or drag in your technical docs or business plan.
China, the United States, or Europe. Each draws the line differently on what can be patented, so picking the wrong one means reading someone else's rules.
The five directions cost 1 credit. To take something to a patent attorney, unlock the full report — that is where the claim drafts and the terminology map are.
This answers one question: can your idea be written up as a patent application at all, or would it be knocked out for not being the kind of thing this country grants patents on. That question can be answered from your description alone. Whether someone has already filed something similar, whether it is new, and whether it would be granted are different questions, and this tool says nothing about them. An actual filing needs a full search grounded in real R&D, reviewed by a qualified patent attorney.
The five directions cost 1 credit per run. The full report is 10 credits. New accounts get 25 free credits.
Yes — that is exactly who it is for. Describe the technology in engineering language: what problem, how you solve it, what is different.
No. That verdict means the direction is the kind of thing patents cover and will not be knocked out at the eligibility gate. Whether it is granted depends on what is already out there — and this tool looked at no prior art at all.
Lost as a patent, yes — business rules and presentations of information do not get granted however they are worded. The full report says whether to use trade secret, copyright, or trademark for that part instead.
Because that is a different job with a different price. Folding it into a screen that runs in minutes mostly produces one bad outcome: people read "nothing found" as "nobody has done this". To search existing patents, use the patent search tool.
What you submit is used only for this run, and it is not privileged. For highly confidential detail, describe only as far as is needed to judge direction. Results are saved to your run history and can be deleted at any time.

This tool provides an eligibility screen based on your own description. It is not legal advice, not a patent search, and not a prediction of grant. Whether and how to file should rest on the formal opinion of a qualified patent attorney or agent.
