How the process normally goes...
You could have IP and decide to explore
You schedule a meeting with a patent lawyer, learn about the process, and decide to do it
Your patent lawyer interviews your team to understand the tech and puts together a first draft
Your team reviews the draft. There are a few inaccuracies and missed nuances. You go back-and-forth with the patent lawyer a few times to correct these issues.
The draft starts to grow to dozens of pages. Technical concepts are written in six different variations. The language feels disconnected from how your team thinks about the tech.
Your team gets busy and start to disengage. The process stalls after weeks of effort and a few thousand spent

What patent lawyers say about us
“The current state of the art is a fillable PDF. For most companies, the IP pipeline isn't just leaky - the pipes don't even connect”
"If I'd had this tool ten years ago when I was still practicing law, I probably wouldn't have stopped! It's difficult and often frustrating to help inventors get out of their own way."
“Your software is doing what we do. We meet with engineering teams for a few hours, then come back to them with a list of possible patents and trade secrets. The difference is they hate spending time with us. Your tool is a win-win."
SITUATION
For months, JohnDoe AI attempted to understand their potential IP. They wanted to prepare patent filings. They met with patent lawyers several times and found it confusing and expensive to navigate.
SOLUTION
Working with Tangify, JohnDoe AI generated a list of a dozen potential patents and prepared initial first drafts in minutes, using only existing materials they had lying around. JohnDoe AI quickly got up-to-speed on their IP and rapidly prioritized, decided on, and actioned patent filings.
IMPACT
They quickly engaged outside IP counsel without needing to go through the usual back-and-forth of engineer interviews and document reviews. They were able to prepare and file a half-dozen patents within weeks without clogging up their most productive engineers or adding to the administrative burden of their legal team.

Can Tangify really help me?
Yes. Tangify helps you uncover potential patents in documents you already have and generates an invention disclosure that's immediately ready for lawyer review. It takes just a few minutes and requires almost no effort on your part.
How does Tangify work?
Upload any work-in-progress PDF to Tangify. Tangify's algorithm will then:
- structure the info
- review it against patentability standards
- generate an invention disclosure from it
You can review, edit and enhance the disclosure where needed, then download it to share with your lawyer. What normally takes a few weeks of meetings can now be done in a few minutes.
What kind of patents can Tangify help me prepare for?
Tangify helps you prepare for US provisional and US utility patents. Tangify does not currently support plant or design patents, filings outside of the US, or any other type of patent.
Can't I submit whatever I want as a provisional patent?
Technically, yes. The key is to ensure that whatever you submit meets descriptiveness thresholds and doesn't unintentionally create "prior art" against you. A few common issues are that can compromise your early filing date include:
- Not describing your invention in sufficient enough detail
- Making a public disclosure that covers different material that what you included in your provisional application
Why doesn't Tangify do a prior art search?
It can be dangerous to do your own prior art search. If you're aware of a reference, you are obligated to disclose it when you file a utility patent. If your product is a success and it unwittingly infringes, you could be liable for massive damages. It's safer to outsource the search to a legal professional.
