Patent Automaton

Are you an inventor? Or just a dreamer? Why choose when you could be both. With Patent Automaton, you can capture your idea in an inventor-friendly app then export to DOCX format for filing with the government patent office of your choice. Drafting a patent application is not an easy process, whether you’re working with a patent attorney or doing the work yourself. Patent Automaton breaks down the parts of a standard patent application such that you can think about each section as an atomic unit. Work on the sections that call out to you. Share your drafts with co-inventors or your attorney. When you’re finished, export the complete application for filing.

Features:
Achieve better understanding: We recommend using a patent attorney during the invention process. And Patent Automaton is designed to capture your idea in a format familiar to many patent attorneys and agents. Thinking about your idea in a common format is a good start to understanding each other.

Attorneys can work with inventors, like inventors: Sending documents by email is very 1990s. Inventors like to work on smartphones, tablets, and computers. And inventors don’t always like working in Windows™ on Microsoft Word™. Leverage the inventor’s knowledge by using a tool that works how they work. Minimize risk of getting the invention wrong by involving the inventor at each step in the drafting process.

Open formats for open minds: We only use well-documented, open formats. In fact, our export format is plain-text JSON and based on openness. At no point, do we lock you into the tool with proprietary formats. They’re your ideas, and you should own them.

Pick and choose the functionality you want to use: Patent Automaton can generate a complete patent application, but you might not want that. That’s cool. Use the claim drafting section if you just want claims. Use the figure manager if you just want to keep track of figures. It’s totally up to you. In the end, you can export whatever you work you’ve done and finish it how you want. We don’t want to upend your existing workflow, so we made the tool flexible to fit almost any scenario.

Organize your patent figures: Whether you wrote down your idea on a napkin or took the time to create a detailed schematic, Patent Automaton can manage your figure. Use the camera on your device to quickly snap a photo of your work. Or import from standard image formats (jpeg, png, or bmp). See all your figures in one place.
