Vainture Patent
Should we file a patent on this?
In about five minutes, we search seven prior art databases and tell you whether the invention is novel enough to defend at the patent office — with the supporting references called out.
What we tell you
Whether the invention is novel enough to defend — and which references stand in the way, with the specific passages called out.
What you put in
An invention disclosure with claim concept, problem solved, and the technical mechanism. Structured intake form.
What you get back
A defensibility verdict (File / File narrowed / Do not file), 0–100 defensibility score, ranked prior art landscape, draft claims at broad/medium/narrow scope, USPTO abstract, and a practitioner-ready DOCX handoff.
Use it when
A new disclosure crosses the IP gate, the §102(b) one-year bar is closing, or you need to vet a filing decision before sending it to outside counsel.
What it does
Three outputs. One vetting pass.
01
Prior art across 7 sources
USPTO ODP · EPO Espacenet · PubMed · Semantic Scholar · arXiv · Lens.org · Google Patents (standby)
Citation-gated relevance scoring — every score backed by the specific passage that supports it.
02
Defensibility verdict
File as-is / File with narrowed claims / Do not file
Deterministic 0–100 defensibility score with §102 anticipation and §103 obviousness risk mapping.
03
Practitioner-ready handoff
Draft claims at broad / medium / narrow scope, plus a 150-word USPTO abstract.
TTO and Practitioner DOCX variants with the locked 37 CFR §1.56 candor footer.
Who it's for
Built for the IP gate
Most TTOs run two distinct gates: an IP gate owned by patent counsel (should we file?) and a commercialization gate owned by business development (should we spin this out?). The IP gate is time-pressured — the §102(b) one-year bar makes it the most expensive question in the queue. Vainture Patent answers it in five minutes with citation-gated rigor across seven prior art sources.
Spending $15K–30K on a filing that won't be granted is the most expensive question a TTO faces every week. Vainture Patent answers it in five minutes.

Transparency
What Vainture Patent does NOT do
We are honest about scope:
We do not file patents
Every output routes to a registered patent practitioner of record.
We do not draft the §112 specification
Your practitioner does. We give them claims, abstract, and prior art context to start from.
We do not replace patent counsel
The §1.56 duty of candor remains with the practitioner.
We do not advise on inventorship
Especially for AI-assisted inventions. That is lawyer territory.
Lightweight docket awareness
The deadlines that matter, tracked from filing forward.
Once you mark a case as filed, Vainture Patent tracks the deadlines that matter: §102(b) one-year bar, Paris Convention 12-month, PCT 30-month, and maintenance fees at 3.5 / 7.5 / 11.5 years. Email reminders via your existing notification preferences. Built as a convenience layer alongside enterprise docketing systems, not a replacement for them.
Vet your next disclosure in five minutes.
