What problem does it solve?
Provides a structured, first-pass screening of invention disclosures by a non-specialist to determine whether to pursue a prior-art search, escalation to attorney review, or decline.
It is explicitly a first-pass screen, not a patentability opinion, and it documents the required steps: novelty signals, obviousness flags, §101 eligibility, public disclosure/bar dates, detectability, and strategic value, with guidance to route outputs to the matter folder or practice outputs.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Intake prompts for essential details: what is the invention, problem it solves, how it differs, inventors, public disclosures, status, and technology area.
- Runs six screens (novelty signals, obviousness flags, §101 eligibility, public disclosure/bar dates, detectability, strategic value) with per-screen verdicts and one-line reasoning, culminating in a memo and bottom-line decision.
- Supports matter context loading, practice-profile routing, and the recommended next steps (prior-art search, further questions, or decline).
Quick Start
Provide the invention disclosure to the tool and answer the seven intake questions when prompted.
