Route & Prepare — the Filing Platform

From a patentability verdict to a practitioner-ready filing.

The evaluation engines tell you whether to file. The Filing Platform takes it from there — recommending the right instrument, then drafting the application as completely as the disclosure allows, for a licensed practitioner to review, sign, and file.

A licensed practitioner is the final step. Vainture prepares applications and analyses for practitioner review, signature, and filing. It never files and never provides legal advice. Every recommendation — including the choice of filing instrument — is decision support for practitioner confirmation.

Chapter 02 — Route

The Filing Strategy router recommends the right instrument.

A provisional gives false comfort for some inventions; there is no provisional for a design; sometimes a trade secret beats filing at all. The router combines the patent engine's outputs with a short, plain-language interview — budget, commercialization timeline, foreign-market interest, product visibility, development stage — and returns one recommended pathway with per-option reasoning.

Eight pathways

ProvisionalNon-provisional utilityDesignUtility + designPCT pathwayPlantTrade-secret considerationInsufficient information

Including the honest outcomes — a trade-secret route where patenting is weak, or “practitioner consultation required” when the inputs can't support a confident recommendation.

Cited to authority

Reasoning a practitioner can verify

Every option is grounded in citable authority — 35 U.S.C. §§101, 102, 111, 112, 161, 171; MPEP sections; PCT Art. 3/22 and Paris Convention Art. 4 — so the output is decision support, not an ungrounded assertion.

§101 eligibility

Risk flags raised explicitly

Subject-matter-eligibility risk is surfaced up front: diagnostics and natural correlations under Mayo / Myriad, and software / AI abstract-idea risk under Alice. A flag prompts practitioner attention — never a conclusion of ineligibility.

Honest confidence

Capped, and withheld when it must be

Confidence is capped and, on missing inputs or insufficient prior-art coverage, withheld rather than faked. A closing §102(b) one-year bar is escalated as deadline urgency on the recommendation.

Chapter 03 — Prepare

The Application Preparation studio drafts it — grounded only in the disclosure.

Provisional and non-provisional utility drafting are live today. A guided inventor interview drives section-by-section generation that draws only on the inventor's disclosure — the engine never invents technical facts — through the same injection-guarded runner the evaluation engines use.

01

Guided interview

Per-section prompts collect exactly what each part of the specification needs — structure, embodiments, operation, worked examples, alternatives.

02

Grounded drafting

Nine provisional sections — twelve for a non-provisional — drafted from the disclosure. No invented facts; thin input is flagged, not fabricated over.

03

Live accuracy panel

More than 20 automated checks run as you draft: enablement support, undefined terms, claim antecedent basis, claim-dependency validity, IDS completeness, and more.

04

Practitioner sign-off

Section-by-section review with HIGH-severity flag guards that block sign-off until resolved. Versioned history and an immutable audit trail throughout.

Auto-generated IDS from the platform's own search

For a non-provisional, the Information Disclosure Statement is assembled deterministically from the patent engine's prior-art landscape — patent and non-patent-literature columns in PTO/SB/08 structure — with an honest coverage statement of which sources were searched. The practitioner reviews, supplements, and certifies the §1.56 duty of candor; the platform never certifies it.

Page-numbered, USPTO-order exports

Download the complete application as page-numbered DOCX or PDF in USPTO order, including SB/16 cover data, with the IDS as its own page-numbered document. Design and PCT: the router recommends these pathways today; document generation for them is coming.

What's live, and what's coming

Four instruments, honestly scoped.

The router recommends all pathways today. Document generation ships instrument by instrument — we say exactly where each one stands.

Provisional

35 U.S.C. §111(b)

Drafting live

Cover sheet · title · field · background · summary · brief description of drawings · detailed description · claims (optional) · abstract. Nine sections, drafted from the disclosure and exported page-numbered.

Non-provisional utility

35 U.S.C. §111(a) / §112

Drafting live

The provisional set plus a required formal claims section, the auto-generated IDS, declaration / ADS data, and drawings requirements. Twelve sections; the IDS and specification export as separate page-numbered documents.

Design

35 U.S.C. §171

Routing now · drafting coming

The router recommends a design pathway where the innovation is in ornamental appearance (no provisional exists for a design). Document generation is coming.

PCT

Patent Cooperation Treaty

Routing now · drafting coming

The router recommends a PCT pathway for an international strategy at the 12-month mark. Document generation is coming.

Two audiences, one build

Whether you buy drafting or do it, the platform turns hours into leverage.

For TTOs & ventures

Cut outside-counsel drafting spend to review hours.

Arrive at counsel with a routed strategy and a drafted application in hand. A blank-page drafting engagement becomes a review — and the science that deserves protection actually reaches filing.

For IP attorneys & agents

A drafting-leverage tool — your hours go to judgment, not typing.

Start from a complete, disclosure-grounded draft with claims, specification, and an auto-assembled IDS. Spend your time on the calls only a practitioner can make: scope, eligibility, and the signature.

Defensible by construction

Versioned drafts, an immutable audit trail, and honest coverage — end to end.

Every section edit is an append-only new version. Every approve, comment, flag, and status change is recorded as a historical fact in an append-only review log. The prior-art coverage the engine established — including which sources failed — is carried all the way into the IDS. Nothing about the file is rewritten silently.

From disclosure to a filing your practitioner signs.

Run a patentability evaluation, then route and prepare the filing. We'll walk your team through the whole arc.
