Direct Quote

"I built a tool... that I can take a very jumbled up disclosure... and it'll spit out something that's really easy for me to understand."

Market Gap

In-house legal teams lose time on patent reviews.

In-house legal teams often spend excessive time reviewing invention disclosures and patent applications, which can lead to delays in patent approvals. This inefficiency arises from the need to analyze complex documents and lengthy memos, which are often not business-friendly. As legal departments are pressed to do more with less, the lack of streamlined processes results in operational friction and wasted resources. Current solutions involve manual reviews that can take days, hindering the pace at which innovations are protected. With the rise of AI, there is an opportunity to automate and simplify these reviews, thereby improving efficiency and aligning legal workflows with faster business needs.

Summary

The business idea involves developing an AI-powered tool designed specifically for in-house legal teams to streamline the patent invention review process. This tool would take complex, jumbled invention disclosures and generate clear, digestible summaries that allow legal professionals to make faster decisions on whether to file patents. By automating the mundane aspects of patent review, legal teams can focus on higher-level strategy and faster responses to business needs. Target users would be in-house legal departments at technology companies that deal with high volumes of patent applications and require efficient processing to keep pace with innovation.

Yes, and what about the technical implementation? Should I build this myself or hire a team?

Technical Strategy:
