Solutions

Give counsel a clearer technical starting point

Patendra helps you structure the disclosure, search relevant patent sources, identify missing support, and prepare a reviewable first pass. It does not decide whether to file. It gives you and your counsel a better-organized record for that decision.

What you get

Evidence before the handoff

Patendra doesn't replace your patent attorney. It makes the hours you eventually buy from one dramatically more useful.

Position

Know where you stand first

Before spending on filing, see how your idea holds up against retrieved prior art from USPTO, Espacenet, Google Patents, and a local semantic index, with deterministic scores for novelty, non-obviousness, enablement, and breadth.

Package

Make attorney time efficient

You arrive at the first meeting with a complete draft, the retrieved references, and per-statute examination memos. Counsel starts from a documented position instead of a blank page. That is what the hours go toward, not replacing them.

Scope

See what scope survived

The claim-refinement history shows which broad claims survived examination, which got rejected, and against which references, so you understand both whether your idea is protectable and how much of it is.

Honest by design

Weak coverage and missing detail stay visible

Patendra will tell you when your idea reads on prior art it actually found. A "no" backed by an ID-verified reference, delivered before you've paid for drafting and filing, is worth more than any encouraging dashboard.

Per statute

No single green light

Results come back per statute (anticipation, obviousness, enablement and definiteness), never as one "ALLOWABLE" badge. You see exactly which hurdle your idea clears and which it doesn't.

Search coverage

It admits when it hasn't looked hard enough

If prior-art coverage was too thin to trust a novelty conclusion, the report carries an explicit insufficient-search warning. Finding nothing is only good news when the search actually looked.

Deliverables

What a run produces

Every run ends with a package you can read yourself and hand to counsel intact.

Draft

Complete application draft

A full specification, the refined independent and dependent claims, and Graphviz-generated patent figures, exported as a formatted PDF with an attorney-review banner on the output.

Evidence

Prior-art record

The retrieved references from all four sources, each verifiable by document ID, plus the search logs showing what was queried and what came back.

Examination

Per-statute memos

Simulated §102, §103, and §112 findings written like Office actions, with every asserted rejection tied to an ID-verified reference. No invented citations.

Scores

Deterministic score report

Novelty, non-obviousness, enablement, and breadth computed from the evidence record, with honest per-statute reporting and any insufficient-search warnings shown up front.

Confidentiality

Your unfiled idea stays on your machine

Patendra is a local-first desktop app for macOS and Windows. Your disclosure, drafts, and run history live in your local data directory. Nothing is uploaded to us. The only thing that leaves your machine is the calls to the LLM provider you configure yourself, with your own Anthropic Claude or Google Gemini key. Full details in the security model.

Why this matters before filing: public disclosure of an invention can start legal clocks that limit (or in much of the world, end) your ability to patent it. Until you've filed, treat your idea as confidential: keep it local, be careful who you show it to, and review the terms of the LLM provider you choose. Ask a patent attorney about disclosure rules for the countries you care about.

The path

From idea to attorney, in three moves

  1. Run the workflow

    Describe your invention in the desktop app and let it run: ideation, prior-art retrieval, claim refinement, simulated examination, scoring, draft. Setup is covered in the documentation.

  2. Read the per-statute results

    Go through the §102, §103, and §112 memos and the score report. Rate the run Strong, Moderate, Weak, or Rejected. Your assessments feed a local learning loop that calibrates future runs.

  3. Always take the strong ones to a patent attorney

    Patendra is not legal advice, and its drafts are not filings. When a run comes back strong, bring the draft and evidence package to a qualified patent attorney and let their judgment take it from there.
