Review Inventions and Draft Patents

Turns your R&D notes into an invention review and a first patent draft, clears brand names and keeps every IP deadline in view.

About

Know whether an invention is worth filing, what stands in the way, and get a first draft your patent attorney can work from, without waiting weeks.

What it does

Reviews an invention: closest prior art with links, what looks new and inventive, patentability, and the filing deadlines your own disclosures create
Drafts a first patent application from your technical files: claims first, then a description that supports them
Runs a first freedom-to-operate pass: the live patents your product should be checked against, and why
Checks whether a brand name is free in your markets and classes, with the risky marks ranked
Keeps your patents and trademarks in one table with every annuity, renewal and response deadline
Lays out your options when someone copies you, from monitoring to court, and drafts the letter when you ask

What you need

Nothing to start: describe an invention, paste a disclosure or name a brand
Google Drive, to read your R&D files and portfolio list (another storage works too)
Google Calendar, to hold filing and renewal deadlines

How setup works

A first invention review arrives in the first minutes. Along the way it learns your markets and who signs off your filings, then connects your files and confirms the weekly deadlines check.

What stays in your hands

It never files, sends a letter or contacts anyone: every review and draft is a first pass for a qualified attorney to sign off

Frequently asked questions

Can AI draft a patent application?

It drafts a first version: claims from broad to narrow and a description that supports them, built from your technical files. A qualified patent attorney should review and file it.

Does it search prior art in real patent databases?

Yes. It searches Google Patents, Espacenet and the scientific literature, cites each document with its number, date and link, and checks legal status before calling a patent a risk.

Can it check if a trademark is available?

It runs a first clearance in the registers that cover your markets and on the web, ranks similar marks by risk and proposes classes to file. A trademark attorney should confirm before you file.

Will it remind me of patent annuities and trademark renewals?

Yes. It keeps your rights in one table and a weekly check lists the deadlines coming up, with the action each one needs. With Google Calendar connected, it can add them to your calendar after your go-ahead.

Does it replace my IP attorney?

No. It does the first pass faster and cheaper, so your attorney's time goes to decisions. It never files, sends or threatens anything itself.

How much does it cost to run?

The template is free. Each run uses Rerun credit, like any coworker.
