How it works

From napkin to a ready-to-file U.S. patent application

Five steps to a complete, high-quality application. You review and sign off before anything is filed - then we file, typically within one to two weeks of your approval (or targeted within 3 business days with rush). Here is the whole journey, including what happens after.

1 · Upload everything you have

Your name, what you call the invention, and every scrap of documentation: disclosure write-ups, photos, CAD files, napkin sketches, lab notebooks, even video. You also pick your speed - provisional ($199), standard utility ($995), or accelerated ($1,795) - and tell us where you live, because non-U.S. residents file through an attorney.

2 · Describe it in your own words

Speak it or type it, in any of five languages. Then the precision pass: the AI rewrites your rough description in exact technical language and asks you to confirm it. That confirmed text is what makes the claims strong - and it takes about a minute.

3 · The AI drafts the complete application

Seconds later you're reading a real, paginated document: formal title, numbered specification paragraphs, patent figures generated from your materials with reference numerals, and the lead claims - all previewed like a Word document before you pay a dollar. A prior-art quick scan tells you what's already out there.

4 · Pick your countries

Your first filing sets a priority date good for 12 months worldwide. File in the US, China, Japan, India, Brazil, and the UAE directly - with government and translation fees shown up front - and add any of 150+ more via PCT. Local attorney and agent requirements are flagged per country and arranged for you.

5 · Review, approve, and file

Confirm three things every inventor must confirm, choose self-file or the $3,995 attorney review, and after your final approval your application is filed electronically. Receipt and application number arrive on filing - you are patent pending the day it's on file.

What the $3,995 attorney review includes
One fee, every country you file. Here's exactly what you get.
A U.S. patent attorney of recordThe attorney takes power of attorney on your case and files under their supervision - you're not filing alone.
A live disclosure meetingA one-on-one video consult on Google Meet where the attorney walks through your entire application with you.
Legal sufficiency reviewThe specification and claims are checked against the legal requirements, and the claims are adjusted for the strongest defensible scope.
Design-around and variation probingYou'll be asked what your invention really is, what variations you might build, how competitors might design around your claims, and the technical challenges you overcame - it all gets folded back into the draft.
Prior art, distinguishedAsk for an attorney-directed prior art search first - the application is then adjusted to distinguish what's already out there.
An enhanced draftEverything learned in the meeting upgrades the application before it's filed.
Recorded and privilegedThe disclosure meeting is audio recorded for your file and protected by attorney-client privilege.
In your languageAI live translation means the meeting works in any language - even if you don't speak English well.
