Patent-Startup's Hybrid Comparison
| Patent-StrartUp's Differences | DIY AI Draft | OnLine Patent Services |
|---|---|---|
| 💰 Cost: Hybrid - No middlemen. You save costs by drafting with AI | ✗ Rejections & Costly Prosecution Fees later | ✗ Two-Profit-center, Low Quality. |
| 🔍 Search: Included in flat fee. Claims refined to avoid prior art before filing. | ✗ No search — there is overlap with prior art and rejections. | ✗ Filing-only or an extra fee for search. Skipped to lower the initial quote. |
| 🎯Claims: Refine claims to avoid prior art for greater approval. | ✗ AI-drafted claims are poor and overlap with prior art. | ✗ They use AI to draft to save cost and rarely optimize the claims. |
| 🎨 Drawing: Pictures are worth a thousand words, equal quality patent. | ✗ AI drawings are technically poor — a known weakness. | ✗ Basic automated diagrams are rarely optimized for clarity. |
| 📈 Investor: Good drawing = pitch deck, understand your invention in a few minutes for investors. | ✗ Legal document focus only. No investor lens applied. | ✗ Transactional. No understanding of startup fundraising dynamics. |
| ⚖️ Legal Risk: Proactive prosecution path. Clean history = harder to attack in court. | ✗ High rejection rate, more fee to get them approved. A lot of file history = poor patent. | ✗ "File-it-and-see" model often leads to more rejections = higher total cost. |
| 🤝 Expertise: 26 years patent prosecution + 3 startups raised ($20M) + litigation win. | ✗ None. AI has no understanding of business strategy or investor dynamics. | ✗ Clerks or generalist attorneys. No startup-specific experience. |
| 🛡️ Guarantee: 50% refund if unsatisfied with the draft application. | ✗ No guarantee. | ✗ No guarantee. |
1 Client Satisfaction Guarantee: If you are not satisfied with the drafting of the patent application, we will refund 50% of the professional fees you paid, and return the your file. The refund will NOT apply to the office action and government fee.
We Draft Patents Differently:
- Competition with Market Leaders: When startups disrupt markets, incumbents copy or litigate. A proactive search lets us refine claims around prior art and keep the prosecution record clean, so competitors can’t use your Patent Office statements against you later.
- Drawings Matter More Than Text: Strong drawings often outweigh long specifications.
- Investor Impact: Investors study drawings because it’s easy, not reading 20 pages of text. Clear visuals show value instantly.
- Professional Credibility: Patent Office takes your application more seriously with high-quality drawings.
- Flexible Protection: Detailed visuals allow for future claim amendments without triggering “New Matter” rejections, which is a strict standard from the Patent Office.
- Proven Results Applying Same Stategies:
- Won an eight-figure settlement based on clean prosecution history.
- Raised $20M across three startups with patents that clearly showed the invention.
- Generated seven-figure royalties through licensing.
