AI Drafting

AI-Powered Patent Drafting

Turn the prior art you have selected into a jurisdiction-compliant first draft in under 5 minutes. Every draft is jurisdiction-aware, requires attorney review, and is captured in a complete audit trail.

From Prior Art to First Draft, With Attorney Review Built In

Draft in Under 5 Minutes

Select prior art references, describe your invention, and generate a full patent specification.

Jurisdiction-Specific Rules

Patent law rules for US, EP, IN, WO, JP, and CN are embedded in every generation automatically.

Mandatory Attorney Review

Every AI-generated draft includes a disclaimer and requires human sign-off before filing.

Version Control & Immutable Snapshots

Generate V1, review, add instructions, regenerate V2. Each version is a separate immutable record.

21 CFR Part 11 Ready Controls, Built In, Not Bolted On

Every regulated workflow is built around traceability, approval control, and immutable records. Capture reasons for change, preserve audit history, require review checkpoints, and keep every edit tied to a user, timestamp, and record.

Reason-for-Change on Every Edit

Critical field edits require a documented reason before saving. No silent changes.

Full Audit Trail

Every change logged: who, what, when, and the before/after diff.

Electronic Signatures

Re-authentication prompt before approval actions and high-risk operations.

Immutable Audit Records

No edit or delete on audit history, ever. Read-only, tamper-proof records.

Role-Based Access Control

Admin, Attorney, Paralegal, Viewer: granular permissions enforced server-side.

Secure Document Management

Version-controlled uploads with presigned downloads and full delete audit trail.

Supports regulated workflows; final validation depends on each organization’s SOPs, configuration, and quality process.

IP management software is a specialized platform that helps law firms, corporations, and patent teams manage their intellectual property portfolios — including patent applications, PCT filings, office actions, deadlines, fees, and compliance requirements. It replaces spreadsheets and email-based tracking with a structured, searchable, and auditable system.

Compliance is built into every workflow — not bolted on. Every edit to a critical field requires a documented reason-for-change. The full audit trail logs who made each change, what changed, and when — with immutable, tamper-proof records. Electronic signatures require re-authentication, and role-based access control ensures only authorized users can perform sensitive actions.

Yes. The platform links PRV (provisional), PCT (international), and NPE (national phase entry) cases to their parent patent families. You can see the entire filing hierarchy in a visual family tree, track deadlines across all filing types, and manage office actions and fees from a single dashboard.

The platform supports 42 fee types across 8 categories — including filing fees, examination fees, issue fees, maintenance/annuity fees, extension fees, petition fees, PCT fees, and miscellaneous fees. Each fee can be tracked as due, paid, waived, or overdue with full analytics and CSV export.

Yes. Each organization gets a dedicated subdomain (e.g., yourfirm.designyourinvention.com) with fully isolated data. Tenant isolation is enforced at the database level using Row-Level Security (RLS), ensuring zero cross-tenant data leakage. Your data is completely separate from every other organization on the platform.

The platform supports four roles: Tenant Admin, Attorney, Paralegal, and Viewer. Each role has granular permissions — for example, Viewers can browse and search but cannot create, edit, or delete records. Permissions are enforced both in the UI and on the server, so access control cannot be bypassed.

Yes. Every list view — families, PRV applications, PCT filings, NPE cases, fees, and audit logs — supports one-click CSV export with all columns included. You can also use bulk actions to select multiple records for status changes or deletion with a single operation.

The platform uses Auth0 for enterprise-grade authentication with support for SSO, SAML, and multi-factor authentication. Tokens are stored in-memory only (never localStorage), all data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and documents are stored in encrypted S3 buckets with presigned URL access. High-risk actions require step-up re-authentication.

Yes. You can upload your existing Excel or CSV file and the system validates every row before anything touches the database. You get a color-coded preview showing which families will be created, which filings will be merged, and which will be skipped. One click to confirm — all records are created in a single atomic transaction with full audit trail. Up to 5,000 filings per import.

The platform is a cloud-based web application that runs entirely in your browser — no installation or plugins required. It supports CSV export for every list view, presigned S3 document downloads, and Auth0 SSO integration for enterprise identity providers including SAML and OAuth 2.0. A REST API is available for custom integrations with existing firm systems.

AI-generated drafts are designed as a starting point, not a final filing. Every AI draft includes a mandatory disclaimer stating it requires attorney review before filing. The platform enforces a status workflow — draft, in review, approved — so no AI-generated content can be exported or acted on without human sign-off. Prior art snapshots, model versions, and token counts are preserved for every generation, giving you a complete audit trail for compliance.

The AI drafting engine supports six jurisdictions: US (USPTO — 35 USC 101/102/103), EP (EPO — Article 52/54/56 EPC), IN (Indian Patent Office — Section 3(d)/(i)/(j)/(k) exclusions), WO (WIPO/PCT — international-stage neutral drafting), JP (JPO — Articles 29/36), and CN (CNIPA — Article 22/25/26). Each jurisdiction has specialized rules embedded in the generation process, so claims format, novelty language, and compliance checks adapt automatically.

The prior art search queries the EPO global patent database covering 100+ jurisdictions — without leaving your patent family view. Four search modes are available: Keywords (technical terms across titles and abstracts), Inventor (handles name variations and titles), Applicant (strips corporate suffixes automatically), and Patent Number (any format, kind codes handled). Results can be filtered by IPC classification, date range, and jurisdiction. Relevant patents are saved directly to your family with relevance scoring and attorney notes, creating an auditable prior art record.
