IP · Unpublished material stays put
Unpublished inventions do not belong in a cloud.
Invention disclosures and draft claims are confidential in a way that has consequences for patentability. Transmitting them is a risk with a legal dimension.
IP work the record supports
Reading-intensive tasks where completeness decides the answer.
Prior art against claims
References read against claim language element by element, with the disclosing passage attached to each mapping.
Claim charts
Element-by-element charts built from the documents, cited to the text rather than characterised.
Assignment gaps
Employees and contractors with no signed IP assignment on file — the diligence finding that reprices a transaction.
Licence and covenant review
Field-of-use limits, sublicensing rights and reserved rights across a licence portfolio.
What stays true on every matter
These do not change by practice area, firm size, or the question asked.
Run it against a portfolio you have already audited.
Assignment gaps and licence limits are exactly the findings that are easy to miss and expensive to miss.
Request a BriefingQuestions firms ask
The answers below are specific to this page’s subject.
Does it search patent databases?
It analyses the documents the firm holds against the local corpus. It is not a substitute for a formal prior-art search through a patent database.
Why is offline especially relevant to IP?
Unpublished invention disclosures and draft applications are confidential in a way that bears on patentability. Not transmitting them is the conservative and correct posture.
Can it read technical specifications?
Yes, alongside the legal documents, which is where the mapping between specification and claim language has to happen.
Does it handle trade secret work?
Trade secret matters depend on demonstrating reasonable secrecy measures. Analysing them on firm-owned hardware is consistent with that; uploading them is harder to defend.
