Practicing patent attorney
Why we built this
Samar is a practicing patent attorney who has written patents for companies like Google and Facebook, and countless other startups. For years, founders and inventors came to him with promising ideas — and budgets that couldn't justify a full engagement yet. He had to turn many of them away.
So he built this: a way for inventors to protect their idea today, validate the market, and bring in an attorney when the stakes — and the case — call for it.
Attorney-developed intake
Battle-tested drafting frameworks
Repeatable quality playbooks
“Great attorneys are worth every penny—when the timing is right. This is for the moment before that’s true.”
You supply the invention details. The software prepares a draft. You review and approve it before filing—with help available when you need it.

Step 1 of 3
You provide the facts
Describe how your invention works, upload your existing material, and supply missing technical details. You know the invention; the workflow helps structure the disclosure.
Drafting and filing are separate steps. “Patent pending” begins after filing with the USPTO, not after generating a draft. Government filing fees are separate in every plan. Compare attorney review and filing support.
Beyond patent-style language
Technical detail. Support for what you describe. Questions to resolve before filing. Here’s a simple way to see the difference.
Illustrative example · sensor-controlled ventilation
Fictional excerpts for explanation—not a customer invention, generated application, or product screenshot.
01 / Technical description
“A temperature sensor sends a measurement to a controller. The controller compares the measurement with a stored threshold and activates a fan when the threshold is exceeded.”
More useful than “a smart cooling system”: the excerpt names the input, decision, and action. Your review checks whether that sequence matches the invention.
02 / Claim-to-description link
Illustrative claim phrase
“a controller configured to activate the fan when the measured temperature exceeds the stored threshold”
The highlighted action is described in excerpt 01. The workflow’s support-checking stage reviews claim elements against the specification; you still confirm accuracy and completeness.
03 / Open review question
“What causes the fan to stop? Is there a separate shutoff threshold?”
Inventor input needed—not an assumed answer.
This is an example of a question to ask during your review, not a claim that the software detects every omission. Add only details that accurately describe your invention.
