Patent QCEarly access

Patent review is a measurement problem, not a reading problem.

Check an application against everything behind it before you file. Five checkable questions for every claim, and a comment wherever something deserves a second look.

Why review is getting harder

The documents are getting bigger. A lot of that size is noise.

Reviewing an application before filing means comparing several large documents and catching where they disagree. The inventor's disclosure. The drafted application. What is already out there in prior art. Sometimes a product spec, or the transcript of the meeting where the inventor first explained the idea.

01

By eye is slow

Holding four long documents in your head at once is slow. It is also getting less reliable, and not because reviewers have got worse at their jobs.

02

General AI tools cannot show their work

Ask the same question about the same claim twice and you can get two different answers. Neither is traceable to anything in the actual document.

03

Content explosion

Inventors and drafters both use AI now. Disclosures and applications come in longer, and a growing share of that length is repetition or material never meant to be read as prose.

Picture an inventor working on a predictive maintenance system. Their disclosure arrives like a technical paper: a title, an abstract, results, a bibliography. Pasted into the middle is the code they used to build their prototype. Import statements. A file path from their own laptop. Column names from a spreadsheet.
IllustrativeEach block is about 5 lines. Roughly 40 of ~300 lines are actually about the invention. The rest sits in the same document.
Measuring instead of guessing

A spell-checker does not feel that a word is wrong

It checks the word against something real and gets a definite answer. Good patent review already works the same way. Does this claim element appear in the description? Does this claim hold up against the cited prior art? Did this idea from the disclosure make it into the draft? These are not questions of taste. They have checkable answers, if the comparison is broken into pieces small enough to check one by one.

Patent QC takes the documents a reviewer already juggles and breaks the review into five checkable questions. You get back an annotated copy with a comment wherever something is worth a second look.

The five questions

Asked of every claim, every time

Every one is a question a good reviewer already knows to ask. Patent QC asks all five on every claim, whether the application has 2 claims or 20. It does not get tired on page 40.

01

Does every claim actually connect back to something you described?

Maps each piece of what you are claiming straight back to the paragraph in your application that explains it.

02

Is the claim written the way a claim needs to be written?

Catches the small technical mistakes that have nothing to do with the invention and everything to do with claim drafting mechanics. The kind that gets a claim rejected on a technicality.

03

What is already out there, and what part of your invention genuinely is not?

Compares your claims against the references in your own search report and points to the specific piece of your invention that none of them cover.

04

Did everything you told your drafter make it into the final document?

Checks the application against your own disclosure notes and catches anything that got left out along the way.

05

Does your claim have enough support to survive prosecution across jurisdictions?

Checks that your description backs up every part of every claim clearly enough to hold up once an examiner starts asking questions, wherever you file.

Five questions. One annotated copy.

You decide what to do with each comment.

Explainability, not a black box score

Every comment quotes the text it came from

The output is never a bare score or a vague warning that something looks risky. Each comment points to a specific piece of text from the application or the disclosure, and explains in plain language why it is worth a look. Nothing is asserted that was not checked.

Claim 1

A method comprising: receiving vibration data from a sensor on an industrial machine; computing a health index from the vibration data using the model; and scheduling maintenance when the health index crosses a threshold.

Question 1Supported. "vibration data from a sensor" is described in paragraph [0014] of the application.
Question 2"the model" has no antecedent basis in claim 1.
Question 4The inventor's notes mention a manual inspection fallback. It is not in the draft.
IllustrativeNot from a real application. It shows the shape of the output.

The tool does the checking. The person still makes the call.

Where it fits

Drafting tools write the application. Patent QC checks it before it goes out.

It does not matter whether the application was drafted by hand or with AI help. Patent QC checks it as written. The documents are not going to get smaller, so the review needs to get smarter about where it spends its attention.

Questions we hear

Does Patent QC replace my review?+
No. It asks the questions a good reviewer already asks, on every claim, every time. You read the comments and decide what to do. The person still makes the call.
What do I need to bring?+
The drafted application, the inventor's disclosure notes and the search report. Together they let Patent QC check support, claim mechanics, prior art and anything left out of the draft.
Does it work on applications drafted with AI?+
Yes. It checks the application as written, however it was drafted.
Is the output a score?+
No. Every comment quotes the text it came from and explains in plain language why it is worth a look. There are no bare scores.
Can I download the results?+
Yes. Download your report any time, and keep the annotated copy with the rest of your application file.
Is my data used to train models?+
No. Customer data is never used to train any model, and workspaces are isolated from each other.
How do I get access?+
Patent QC is in early access. Request access and we will get back to you.
