How Inventors Are Filing Patents Better and Faster with Inventor Assist?

You have an amazing idea that could change the course of your career and help tap into your entrepreneurial spirit.

But the excitement quickly fades when reality hits. How do you protect it before someone else does?

First comes uncertainty. Where do I even start? Then doubt. Do I have the time and money for this? 

Soon, you feel overwhelmed, “Lawyers cost too much. Forms take forever.”

So you tell yourself, I’ll figure it out later.

And later never comes.

Until one day, someone else patents your idea.

The biggest threat to your invention isn’t competition, it’s hesitation.

Inventors like you rarely fail because they lack ideas. They fail because they don’t have a clear, structured system to refine and protect them.

And every year, over 97% of patents never make a return on investment. 

Why?

Because the real challenge is knowing what to do before you even file one. 

And positioning your innovation for success from the start.

 

The Problem

The real pain is NOT just the difficulty of writing disclosures, it’s the consequences of a bad disclosure.

  • Scattered notes and missing details? Your patent may not even get approved.
  • Delayed filings? A competitor could patent it first.
  • Messy disclosures? Attorneys will charge thousands just to fix them and you might still miss deadlines.

You see, patent attorneys aren’t miracle workers. They rely on what you provide.

So, if your disclosure is weak, your patent will be, too.

And here’s what they won’t tell you:

  • They spend hours rewriting poorly documented disclosures on your dime.
  • They struggle to fill in missing technical details, forcing extra back-and-forth, traditionally over email threads.
  • They can’t make up what you didn’t document, leading to weaker, riskier patents.

Relying on attorneys to build disclosures is like trying to fix an engine after it’s already installed in the car. It’s expensive, inefficient, and can still fail when you need it most.

That’s why you need a better system.

Manual forms, email threads, scattered notes, Word docs, and Excel sheets aren’t enough to manage your innovations.

You must go digital, go automated, and take control of your inventions.

That’s why we created Inventor Assist, a better engine and a smarter way to capture, refine, and protect your ideas from day one.

And here’s why it’s changing the game for inventors like you.

 

The Solution: Inventor Assist – Your AI-Powered Invention Partner

Most inventors don’t struggle with ideas, but figuring out what to do next. 

You have something in your head or sketched on paper, but turning it into a clear, defensible invention feels overwhelming: Is this idea already out there? What’s actually novel?

So, let us explain Inventor Assist without ruining it. 

It works like a structured invention partner that helps you think through your idea step by step:

  • asking the right questions, 
  • pushing you to explore alternatives, 
  • uncovering what makes your concept different, 
  • helping you shape it into a clear invention narrative. 

Instead of staring at a blank page or guessing whether your idea is “good enough,” you walk away with a refined, well-articulated invention you actually understand. 

 

Our intuitive, AI-driven solution is a straightforward disclosure feature designed for individual inventors to:

  • Easily take their ideas from a rough concept to a patent-worthy invention
  • Capture ideas and refine them into innovation
  • Disclose inventions accurately, with impact
  • Share their invention disclosures with a patent attorney
  • Cut down back-and-forth between attorneys and themselves
  • Collaborate with multiple stakeholders
  • Never ever lose a trace of even a single note

Just as importantly, your ideas stay fully private. 

Everything you share remains confidential, is never used to train AI models, and is not stored or reused elsewhere. 

You get the speed and clarity of AI support, with the peace of mind that your invention stays yours, secure, protected, and ready for the next step.

 

Step 1: Idea Capture & Refinement

What if capturing disclosures was as easy as writing a note on your phone? Now, it is.

  • Enter and upload: Capture the essence of your idea with intuitive forms.
  • Scan and extract details: Upload sketches, notes, or research, and AI will organize them instantly.
  • Collaborate with ease: Integrated with Microsoft Teams for seamless input and discussion.
  • Refine Your Idea with Inventor Assist: Once you capture your idea, our AI works like your personal assistant, turning rough concepts into a clear, structured disclosure. Inventor Assistant helps:
    • Extract key innovation points from your input
    • Ask smart, targeted questions to complete your disclosure
    • Identify potential gaps or missing technical details

 

Step 2: AI-Powered Disclosure Completion

What if your attorney got a pre-drafted, structured disclosure ready to be reviewed instead of spending hours piecing together details?

Attorneys charge by the hour and every mistake costs you. Think about the legal fees you could save.

Here’s what Inventor Assistant does for you:

  • Auto-structures your disclosure into a clean, attorney-ready format.
  • Automatically categorizes your disclosure for better portfolio management.
  • Provides instant prior art insights to assess novelty (optional).
  • Disclosure support materials.

 

Step 3: AI Creates a Patent-Ready Evaluation Package

Not sure how strong your patent is? We’ll tell you.

Before you even file, our system evaluates your disclosure and provides a comprehensive, AI-generated patent-ready strategy.

Your AI-Powered Patent Evaluation Includes:

  • Disclosure quality check: AI highlights any missing components.
  • Disclosure drafted by AI with attachments
    • Inventor background and expertise profile (how well does the inventor know this area)
    • Inventor paperwork
    • Third-party inventors
    • Inventor leaving the company
  • Bar date alerts (public disclosure, vendor/customer engagement)
  • Potential conflicts (third-party inventors, inventor departure risks)
  • Portfolio positioning & alignment (how it fits with your existing IP strategy): Categorizes the disclosure and shows how it fits with existing disclosures (possible combining opportunities) and existing portfolio (optional)
  • Prior Art Search (optional) to gauge novelty before filing
  • Portfolio filing goals (summary of the potential patent value, taking into the following considerations)
    • Business Value – potential benefits to the company or industry
    • Adoption/Implementation – likelihood of the company adopting and implementing the solution (timeframe, investment, alternatives, dependencies, company commitment)
    • Patentability – patentability and art unit allowance rate

 

Step 4: Patent Attorney Package & Filing Support

When you’re ready to file, IP Assist delivers everything your attorney needs, instantly.

  • AI drafted patent application: No back-and-forth fixing errors.
  • Prior Art Search Included: Client portfolio + global patents + non-patent literature.
  • Save Thousands on Legal Costs: Less time spent on revisions means lower attorney fees.
  • File faster and with confidence
