Innovation management for companies that file patents

The Platform

One record. Every step on it.

Think about the file a hospital keeps on a patient. It opens at admission, and every specialist writes on that same file; nobody starts a fresh one because they sit in a different wing. An invention deserves the same. It gets its reference the moment an inventor captures it, and keeps that reference through the search, the draft, the review and the export. The dashboard sorts the whole portfolio into six stages and tells you, in plain words, what is waiting on a decision. And if a law firm does the search or the draft, their work is attached to the same record and goes through the same review.

The Needs a decision queue: inventions captured but not assessed, a failed search step, drafts in review with open findings, counsel drafts received, a stale invitation, each with a button.

Needs a decision: worked out from the data, never from a notification. One button per decision, and a reference on every item.

The portfolio table: one row per reference, with a prior-art search and a counsel draft nested under their invention.

The portfolio: one row per reference. A search and a counsel draft sit under the invention they belong to.

Six stages are live today. Filed is reserved for prosecution, which comes next.

Departments and Roles

Inventors are users. Outside counsel are not.

Any company that files patents has two groups who touch them: the people who invent, and the people who protect. So Eety has the same two departments. R&D captures inventions and sees how they progress; IP / Innovation decides, searches, drafts, reviews and files. Owner and Admin sit on top as account roles.

An inventor sees their own inventions, and the searches and reviews linked to them, read-only. A team lead sees the captured inventions of their team, while the IP team sees everything. Counsel never log in; their work is recorded on the matter.

The whole portfolio, and what is waiting on you

Six stage tiles, the decision queue and every reference. New invention, prior-art search and new draft are one click away, and the organization console shows the funnel, the workload by member and the token ledger.

1 · Capture and harvest

You would not build on land without a soil test.

Nobody pours a foundation before someone has checked the ground; the engineer digs and tests, and only then does the builder spend real money. Most companies draft patents the other way round. They pick a disclosure, spend the money, and find out much later that the ground was already crowded. :( So harvesting is the soil test. An inventor captures the idea, Eety interviews them until it understands the invention at 90 percent, runs the state-of-the-art search, and returns a prior-art density verdict: Low, Medium or High, with every reference saying where it came from.

It costs you $20 to learn whether the invention deserves a search and a draft. And when the verdict says go, you promote it to a draft with an assignee in one step, on the same record.

2 · Prior-art search

A searcher who shows you every string, and says why.

A good accountant does not just hand you the total. She shows you the workings, so you can check the one line you doubt; a search should work the same way. Eety reads the invention and writes out what it understood: domain, problem, solution, novelty. You confirm it and approve the grading criteria. Then it searches the way a professional does: keyword strings in two rounds, each one justified and scoped to titles and abstracts, claims or full text; the portfolios of the companies active in the field; the inventors behind the best hits; the citations around them; and the scholarly and web literature.

Every hit is screened and graded against the criteria you approved. The report comes out as Word or Excel with the matter reference in its name. And while it runs, the "Run entire search" console shows you each step as it happens.

A finished search: 111 searches, 600 records read in depth, 5,506 documents found, graded against the criteria you approved. Export to Word or Excel.

3 · Draft

A careful associate asks. A careless one guesses.

You have worked with both. The careful one comes back with three questions before writing anything; the careless one hands you twenty polished pages built on facts nobody gave him. Eety drafts like the careful one. It refuses to write a word until it understands the invention at 90 percent confidence, and when something is missing it leaves a needs-input placeholder and asks your inventor, instead of inventing a fact to fill the hole.

Then it gets on with it. It drafts every section in parallel, generates the patent drawings under the drawing rules of the office you chose, and exports a filing-ready DOCX against templates for 5 patent offices: USPTO, EPO, PCT/WIPO, UKIPO and IPO India.

Generated patent drawings

33 figure types, planned from the claims, numbered and referenced the way an examiner expects.

4 · Review, yours or your law firm's

A second reader who reads every line, not just the opening pages.

When a draft comes back from your law firm, honestly, you either trust it or give up your own evening to check it... and most weeks there is no evening to give. Eety gives you a third option. Import the DOCX (headings match automatically, you can map sections by hand, and India Form 2 is detected on sight) and the full legal review reads the whole document at once. Your own drafts get the same review inside the matter.

Findings come back per section as error, warning or info, each citing the authority it rests on, such as Indian Patents Act Section 10(5) or 35 U.S.C. 112(b). You accept or reject at the paragraph, then export a tracked-changes Word redline where every edit carries the name of who made it. So it goes back to the firm in Word, which is where they work anyway.

5 · External counsel

A desk for the work you send out, not a doorway for the firm.

Most of a company's patent work is written in someone else's building. Think of the front desk in a well-run office. A courier drops the parcel, signs the register and leaves; nobody hands him a key card. Eety keeps the record of the work the same way, without making the firm a user. You assign a search or a draft to a firm with a due date, and see what is out, what is overdue and what came back. When the report or the draft arrives, it lands on the invention's own record.

Then you act on it where it sits: run the review on the draft, add the report as prior art, or just attach it. Counsel keep working by email, as they always have, and the dashboard shows you the whole picture.

How it thinks

The intelligence underneath.

Actually, let me back up a second. Four mechanisms carry the weight, and none of them is magic... each one is a rule the product refuses to break.

The 90 percent gate

Eety measures how well it understands the invention, and it will not draft below 90 percent. Below the gate it goes back to your inventor with the missing questions, the way a good colleague would, instead of inventing answers.

Understanding threshold before a word is written

Justified search strings

Prior art hides in two dialects (the way patents are written and the way papers are written), and it hides in different fields of a document. Every string Eety proposes says what it is looking for, why, and whether it searches titles and abstracts, the claims or the full text. You read the reasoning before you approve the round.

Act at the document

A review that arrives as a separate report means flipping between two documents. Here the findings sit on the draft itself, and you accept or reject each change at the paragraph it concerns, the way you would with a colleague's markup.

Attributed edits, audited

The exported redline is a real tracked-changes DOCX where every edit carries the name of who made it, and the organization keeps an audit trail of every action behind it. When someone asks who changed claim 3, there is an answer.

Deployment

Our cloud, or your own servers.

Some companies will not let an unfiled invention leave the building, and we understand why. For them, Eety runs on-premise: everything except the AI model and the search engines runs on your side. Think of a serious head of security. He never says nobody leaves the building; he shows you the log. So we say exactly what leaves, because "your data never leaves your network" would not be true of any AI product, ours included.

Eety Cloud

Time and Money

The industry quotes hours saved. Look at what the quote leaves out.

Drafting tools commonly claim 10 to 15 hours saved per application. That is their claim, not ours, and we are not going to invent an hour figure of our own to top it. :) What we can say precisely is what a company pays today, and what each step costs here.

What companies pay

$7,501 to $10,000

The most common budget band for one complete utility application, before government fees. 60 percent budget $10,000 or less, and 58 percent have the majority or all of their priority applications prepared by outside counsel.

Source: IPO 2024 Corporate IP Practice Survey, 75 corporate respondents.

What each step costs here

$20 · $50 · $50 · $30

A verdict on whether to proceed, a prior-art search, a complete draft with drawings, and a review of the draft your firm sent back. Each one is charged once per matter, on one balance, with a ledger of who spent what.

What the hours quote skips

The decision, and the check

Hours-saved claims start where the specification begins and stop where it ends. But the decision before it, and the review after it, are where a company's money actually goes.

The Briefing

Ten slides. The whole story, in order.

This is the briefing we walk an IP head through: where the money actually goes, why a drafting tool is the wrong shape for a company, the five modules on one record, who sees what, what leaves your network, and what it costs. Use the arrows, or your keyboard... and if you would rather listen, there is a four-minute narrated cut. The PDF is right below too.

Where the money goes01 / 10

Writing the draft is not where most of the money goes.

Listen, the expensive moments in a company's patent work happen before anyone writes a word, and after the law firm sends the draft back. One is a decision made on partial information; the other is a check nobody has an evening for.

The category question02 / 10

A drafting copilot sits beside one person. Patent work is spread across a building.

R&D has the idea. The IP team decides what deserves money. A law firm often writes it. So a tool that lives inside one editor sees one slice; the invention moves through three desks and two companies.

R&D captures

Engineers write what they have: a slide deck, a lab note, three paragraphs in an email. Eety interviews them for the rest.

IP decides

Search, assess, draft in-house or send it out, then review what comes back. The decisions live with the IP team.

Counsel drafts

Outside counsel work by email, as they always have. Their work is recorded on the same record; they never need a seat.

The platform03 / 10

One record per invention, from capture to filing.

Think about the file a hospital keeps on a patient; every specialist writes on the same one. An invention gets its reference, like ACME-2026-0042, the moment it is captured, and every step lands on it.

Questions people ask

Straight answers.

What leaves my network in an on-premise deployment?+

Three things, and nothing else. The text, documents, images and audio of each AI step go to Google Gemini through Vertex AI, in a Google Cloud project you can own, under terms that exclude training on your data. Search strings and publication numbers go to patent and literature databases through SerpApi. And the literature steps of a prior-art search fetch public web pages directly. Everything else (the application, workers, database, files and audit trail) stays on your servers, and nothing is sent to eety.

Do my outside counsel need accounts?+

No, and that is deliberate. Counsel are recorded on the invention's matter, not licensed as users. You assign a search or a draft to a firm with a due date, see what is overdue, and receive the report or draft onto the same record. They keep working by email, as they always have.

Can inventors see other people's inventions?+

No. An inventor sees the inventions they created or are named on, plus the searches and reviews linked to them, read-only. A team lead sees the captured inventions of their own team. The IP team's areas stay closed to R&D roles altogether.

How are tokens charged for an organization?+

One token is $10, and each service is charged once per matter: harvesting 2, state of the art 1, prior-art search 5, a full draft 5, review of a counsel draft 3. The organization runs one pool, provisioned by its admin, with a ledger of who spent what on which matter. There is no per-seat license; redrafts and re-reviews on the same matter are free.

Do you have SOC 2 or ISO 27001?+

Not today, and you will not find a badge on this page pretending otherwise. We list the controls we actually run (tenant keys on every customer table, a per-matter ledger and audit log, department and role access, Google Cloud terms for the model), we answer security questionnaires on request, and the on-premise option exists for companies whose policy is "internally hosted only".
