"I can ask it to give me three things I should change about where I'm focusing my patent priorities today."

Market Gap

Determining patent priorities is time-consuming and complex.

In-house legal teams often struggle to establish effective patent priorities due to the rapid evolution of technology and business strategies. This can lead to misalignment between patent filings and organizational goals, resulting in wasted resources and missed opportunities. The current process involves extensive research and analysis that can take days, often relying on outdated information or subjective judgment. As AI technology advances, there is an urgent need for smarter tools that can synthesize vast amounts of data and provide actionable insights for patent strategy, ultimately enhancing the alignment of legal and business objectives.

Summary

This business idea focuses on creating an AI-enhanced tool that assists legal teams in prioritizing patents based on current company strategies and future opportunities. By integrating AI capabilities, the tool could analyze public statements and strategic documents from executives, providing insights that help legal teams focus their patent efforts on areas that align with the company's innovation roadmap. The target audience includes in-house patent counsel at technology companies who need to make strategic decisions about patent filings quickly and effectively.

Great question! For a saas idea like this, I'd recommend starting with these validation steps:

  1. Customer interviews: Talk to Technical to understand their pain points
  2. MVP approach: Build a simple landing page to test demand
  3. Competitor analysis: Research existing solutions and identify gaps

Would you like me to help you create a specific validation plan for your medium difficulty idea?

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

Technical Strategy:

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.
