Does using a self-help plan create an attorney-client relationship?

Not unless a separate engagement with the law firm is accepted. Attorney review is included only where expressly stated.

Can payment trigger an accidental filing?

The product plan deliberately separates payment from filing and requires explicit approval.

What happens when the system finds an unsupported statement?

The architecture is designed to strip it or surface it as an open question rather than silently include it.

Four control gates

The trust layer around the model is the product

A chatbot can generate text. PatentExpress is designed to control when facts enter the drafting substrate, how artifacts validate and when a filing is authorized.

1. Confirm

Pax restates the technical disclosure and the inventor confirms it.

2. Validate

Each artifact passes its rule checks before the next stage begins.

3. Review

The inventor reads the complete prepared application before payment.

4. Approve

Filing occurs only after a separate explicit approval.

No black box

Every important step has an observable state

The interface should show what Pax is doing, what passed, what failed and what still needs the inventor's decision.

Trace factual assertions

Unsupported statements are stripped or surfaced as questions.

Regenerate narrowly

Only the failing artifact is regenerated, preserving correct work.

Show fees separately

Service and government fees remain itemized before payment.

Escalate to counsel

Attorney review is a separate selected path with defined scope.
