Report & certificate
Got a great idea worth protecting? Save thousands before you file.
A patent attorney charges up to $10,000 to evaluate an idea and certify it. We do the same five-dimension read, report, and timestamped record for $49.
Private by default. We only share if you ask us to.
What we evaluate
- Novelty
- Commercial potential
- Defensibility
- Licensing probability
- Timing
- Competition and copy risk
- Final verdict and next step
Sample evaluation
Self-cooling water bottle
Private & confidential
Your idea is yours. We won't take it.
Your submission is totally private and confidential. We never share it with anyone — if you decide to file, we forward your report only to an attorney you choose, and only with your say-so.
- Never shared with third parties
- You keep 100% ownership
- Encrypted & access-controlled
An unprotected idea has no record.
IP theft costs the U.S. an estimated $225 to $600 billion a year, yet only about 1 in 10 inventors take even the first step to protect an idea. A timestamped registration is proof of who had it first.

Deliverables
Verifiable on record
Every certificate resolves at a public URL — shareable with investors, partners, or counsel, QR-verifiable.
The more you tell us, the better.
Same idea, two ways of describing it. Share as much as you're comfortable with — every detail sharpens your score, report, and verdict. It's all private and confidential.

Too little to judge novelty or defensibility — the report would be thin.
- Invention
- Self-cooling water bottle
- How it works
- A vacuum-insulated stainless-steel bottle with a thermoelectric (Peltier) cooling element in the base. A small rechargeable battery powers it, and a companion app holds your drink at a set temperature — say 4°C — for up to 12 hours. Unlike a normal insulated bottle that only slows warming, it actively chills the contents, and recharges over USB-C overnight.
- Problem it solves
- Insulated bottles only delay warming — on a long hike or a hot commute, water still turns lukewarm. There's no affordable, portable way to keep a drink genuinely cold for hours.
Confident scoring across all five dimensions and a full 8-section report.
Whatever you share stays private and confidential.
Five dimensions, each scored and explained.
No single number to argue with. Each dimension carries its own 0-100 score and a written rationale, so you know exactly where the idea is strong and where it isn’t.
Novelty
How new the idea is, and how close it sits to existing patents and prior art.
Commercial potential
Market size, real buyer demand, and how the idea could actually make money.
Defensibility
Whether it can realistically be protected, and how easily a competitor copies it.
Licensing probability
How likely a company is to buy or license the invention, against comparable deals.
Timing
Whether now is the right moment to file, based on where the market is maturing.
Everything you walk away with.
Two documents, generated the moment your evaluation completes. Yours to download, print, and share.
8-section intelligence report
The full pre-patent analysis (scores, rationale, and competitive read) as a downloadable PDF.
Certificate of registration
Timestamped, QR-verifiable, and shareable at a public link with investors, partners, or counsel.
A verdict, not a hedge.
Free AI gives you “maybe.” We commit to one of three answers, and tell you exactly what to do next.
DO NOT PATENT
Novelty below 30, or a weak overall score.
Build it as a business or brand. Skip the patent spend entirely.
REFINE FIRST
Promising but mixed scores across the five dimensions.
Strengthen the differentiators, then re-evaluate before you file.
PROCEED NOW
Strong novelty and a strong overall score.
File a provisional patent within 30 days while the window is open.
Four ways to answer one question.
Every inventor faces the same fork before filing. Only one gives you a verdict and a dated record of who had the idea first.

A decision you can stand behind.
The point isn’t a higher score — it’s a clear, defensible call on whether your idea is worth the spend. Here’s how that lands.
“It told me not to patent — and explained exactly why in plain English. That $49 saved me a five-figure filing on an idea that was never going to hold.”
“The report read like something a firm would charge thousands for. The five scores and the prior-art section gave me real confidence to move forward.”
“I sent the verification link straight to an investor. A timestamped, shareable record of my concept — that alone was worth it.”
Verdicts reflect each idea on its merits — including the ones we advise against filing.
One flat price. The whole picture.
No tiers, no upsells, no hourly meter. A single payment unlocks the complete evaluation, report and certificate included.
