The models are the product and there is nothing underneath them. What a customer buys is generation: orchestrated agents scaffold the sections of a patent application, harmonise terminology across the document, map claimed features to the specification and embed fallback support, assembling a complete draft from invention materials rather than filling a template. The vendor's own framing is agentic end-to-end drafting, prompt-free, with the practitioner setting claim focus, terminology and embodiments up front and the agents doing the writing.

Remove the models and nothing remains to sell: there is no document management layer, no docketing, no portfolio system and no database product beside it. The only non-generated component named on the estate is a preliminary prior art search report, and that content comes from a third party under that party's own terms rather than from the vendor's own models. Verified 20 September 2026.

Outcome is measured and the generation risk is never addressed. This product writes specification text rather than citing authority, so the failure that matters is unsupported description, a claim the specification does not enable, or terminology that drifts between claim and body. Nothing published speaks to any of that: there is no hallucination disclosure, no statement about how the agents are constrained to the materials supplied, and no error rate for generated content.

What exists instead is prosecution evidence, a published cohort of the vendor's own drafted applications reporting no section 112(a) enablement rejections and roughly 20 per cent with minor section 112(b) clarifications promptly cured, which is a downstream signal rather than a measurement of the generation. The published terms disclaim accuracy entirely and disclaim liability for actions taken on the contents. The search report carries its own warning that it is informational and not a legal opinion. Verified 20 September 2026.

The supervising practitioner is named as the control point, repeatedly and in the vendor's own voice. The security page states that every draft stays under the supervising practitioner's control from input to filing-ready. The trust centre describes the service itself as one through which patent application documents are auto-drafted under the supervision of a patent practitioner user, which places the supervision inside the definition of the product rather than in a disclaimer.

The workflow supports it: attorneys set the target for protection, the primary independent claim, the initial dependent claims, terminology and embodiments before generation, and the solutions pages describe drafts arriving structured and ready for attorney review, attorney-led throughout. What is missing is the categorical form: the commitment is a blanket statement across the whole service rather than a constraint attached to a named mode or tier, no threshold or escalation is described, and nothing states what the agents may not do. Verified 20 September 2026.

A real cohort study against the public file wrapper, and the cohort is anonymous. Case Study 01 reports on accelerated applications drafted by the vendor and prosecuted at the USPTO: roughly 10 per cent allowed on first action, about 70 per cent allowed after one office action and the remainder after a second; roughly 65 per cent drew section 102 or 103 rejections at first action, of which about 80 per cent were traversed by targeted claim amendment; no section 112(a) enablement rejections, about 20 per cent with minor section 112(b) clarifications; and average preparation time of around four hours from inventor materials to filing-ready.

That is measured against records anyone can check. What is absent is the join: the cohort is not named, no sample size appears, the figures are approximations, and no named customer carries a figure. Named users exist separately, a testimonial from the founder of Wood IP LLC, a second case study with RapidSOS behind an email form, and an announced selection by Xsensus in June 2026. Buyers should note that the terms take a licence to use a customer's name and logo on registration. Verified 20 September 2026.

The commitments are specific and readable in advance, and none of them is contractual. The trust centre states that the vendor does not use a customer's confidential information except to provide the service, and does not directly or indirectly, without authorisation, reveal, report, publish, disclose or transfer it to any third party. Inputs, meaning invention materials, and outputs, meaning the application documents, are stated not to be available to other customers, not to train any AI model, and not to be used to improve any Microsoft or third-party model.

All data is stored and processed in the United States, with physical, electronic and procedural safeguards maintained. For unfiled invention material, which loses novelty on disclosure, those are the right commitments. The gap is where they live: the only published agreement is a set of website terms carrying no confidentiality clause at all, no obligation of non-disclosure, no return or destruction on termination and no notice before compelled disclosure. No data processing agreement or subprocessor list was located. Verified 20 September 2026.

The advice line is drawn in the published terms and the supervising practitioner is named as the person who holds the work. The terms state that communication through the site does not create or constitute an attorney-client relationship, is not intended to convey or constitute legal advice, and is not a substitute for obtaining legal advice from a qualified attorney. The preliminary search report clause repeats it in product terms: those reports are informational only, do not constitute legal advice or a legal opinion, and the user should consult qualified counsel before acting on search results.

The audience is unambiguous throughout, patent attorneys and agents, in-house IP teams and solo practitioners, with no consumer-facing surface, and the service is defined as auto-drafting under the supervision of a patent practitioner user. What holds it below the top band: nothing names a practice jurisdiction limit, and the competence duty is engaged only through buyer-facing guidance rather than as the vendor's own commitment. Verified 20 September 2026.

One improvement mechanism is published and no governance sits around it. The platform page states that drafting patterns are continuously tightened from the real prosecution signals that filed applications generate, which is a described feedback loop and an unusual thing to disclose. A buyer should pin down what feeds it, because the estate also commits that customer inputs and outputs never train or improve any model; the two reconcile if the signals come from published file wrappers, which are public records, but nothing published says so.

Beyond that there is nothing: nobody is named as accountable for model behaviour, no pre-release testing or evaluation regime is described, no model card or change log exists, and no disclosure addresses whether output quality differs across technology areas, art units or drafting styles. On a product whose value claim is that its drafts survive examination, the absence of any published evaluation method behind that claim is the gap. Verified 20 September 2026.

The training and residency questions are answered well and most of the rest of the axis is untouched. Published: all data stored and processed within the United States; inputs and outputs never used to train or improve any model, the vendor's or Microsoft's; materials never available to other customers; no disclosure or transfer to third parties without authorisation; physical, electronic and procedural safeguards; SOC 2 certification.

What is absent is everything a security reviewer would ask next. No retention period is stated for invention materials or generated drafts, and nothing describes deletion on request or on termination. No subprocessor list is published beyond the Microsoft Azure route. No incident response or breach notification practice appears anywhere, in the terms or on the security page. No encryption standard, access control model or logging detail is given.

The trust centre that would carry the detail is an application that did not render, and one search recovered nothing from it. Verified 20 September 2026.

No position on liability is published, and the only allocation of risk in the agreement runs toward the vendor. The single published legal document is a set of website terms of use. They disclaim all warranties, provide the site as is without warranty of accuracy, and state that the vendor disclaims all liability for actions taken or not taken based on any or all of the contents. There is no indemnity, no liability cap, no warranty of any kind for the service, no service level and no remedy described for a defective draft, which matters because the output of this product becomes a filed patent application whose defects surface years later as a section 112 rejection or an unenforceable claim.

No subscription agreement, order form or master agreement is published anywhere. The terms also extract a covenant running the other way: a user agrees not to assert, and not to permit others to assert, any patent rights based on or derived from outputs generated using the service against the vendor. Verified 20 September 2026.

The product stands alone and work has to be carried into it and out of it by hand. No integration with any practice system is published: no document management system, no docketing or IP management platform, no matter management, no e-filing path to the USPTO, no word processing round-trip and no e-signature. No API, developer documentation or connector directory was located. What the estate does describe is the input side, and only as uploads: invention disclosures, technical specifications, design documents, system diagrams, source code excerpts, white papers, slide decks, lab notes and example use cases, assembled in the platform.

The output is described as a filing-ready draft without naming a format or a destination system. One external service is named, Project PQAI for preliminary prior art search, which is a content source rather than a practice system. The absence was checked against the navigation, the solutions pages, the pricing page and the footer. Verified 20 September 2026.

Both halves are answered and neither is offered as a choice. Residency is stated plainly and in three places, on the home page, the security page and the trust centre: all data associated with the service is stored and processed within the United States. The model path is part of that answer rather than an exception, because models are reached only through Microsoft Azure and the service does not interact with any system operated by a third-party model provider.

Separation between customers is asserted as an outcome: a customer's invention materials and drafts are never available to any other customer. What is not published is the architecture behind either statement. No cloud region, tenancy model, single-tenant or private option is described, no on-premise deployment exists, and a buyer outside the United States has no region to choose. For a product holding unfiled inventions the residency commitment is the material one, and it is unambiguous. Verified 20 September 2026.

A standard is named, a trust centre exists, and the certificate is never qualified. The vendor states it is SOC 2 certified with independently audited security controls, says so on the home page, the security page and in a frequently asked question, and links a trust centre at its own subdomain. That is above the floor reserved for a site claiming certification without naming a standard. What is missing is every particular that would let a buyer weigh it.

No type is stated anywhere, neither Type I nor Type II, which is unusual because that distinction is the difference between a design opinion and one covering operating effectiveness over a period. No audit period, no scope or trust services criteria, and no auditor are published. No subprocessor list or penetration testing statement appears. The trust centre itself is an application that did not render on reading, and one search recovered no document list from it, so whether a report is obtainable could not be established. Verified 20 September 2026.

The route to the models is named and described more carefully than most, and the models themselves are not. The vendor states the service is model-agnostic and reaches leading large language models only through Microsoft Azure over secure API calls, never interacting with any service operated by a third-party model provider directly. The trust centre spells out the arrangement: Microsoft fully controls the third-party models provided through Azure and hosts them in its own environment, and customer inputs and outputs are not used to improve any Microsoft or third-party model, product or service.

For a buyer whose material is an unfiled invention, knowing the data never leaves that path is the point of the disclosure. What is absent is identification: no model, family or version is named, nothing says which model performs which drafting step, and nothing commits to notifying customers when the underlying model changes beneath a drafting standard they have tuned. Verified 20 September 2026.

Three tiers are named with what each contains, and no figure appears anywhere. The Pilot is genuinely free and genuinely self-serve, described as no-cost pilot access with no procurement and no sales call, reachable from a sign-up link, and giving access to standard agents. Professional is described as predictable per-user pricing, which names the unit while withholding the rate and directs the buyer to a call for a current quote.

Enterprise covers unlimited users, custom drafting agents, prosecution-aware drafting and priority support and onboarding. Custom drafting agents that encode a firm's templates and standards are stated as available on the two paid tiers. Movement between tiers is addressed, with pilots scaling up as volume grows. What is missing is the number: no rate, band, minimum, term or implementation cost is published for either paid plan, and no currency appears on the estate. Verified 20 September 2026.

Three buyer segments carry their own pages and the named users span all three. Law firms are addressed on carrying more matters through the same team without thinning quality; in-house and corporate IP on scaling a filing programme without scaling cost; solo and small firms on drafting like a big shop starting in minutes, which is the segment most often left out of enterprise legal AI. The named users match: a solo founder-managing partner at Wood IP LLC, a mid-sized IP firm in Xsensus, and an in-house team at RapidSOS.

Practice coverage is patent application drafting for the USPTO, with the cohort study, the section 112 discussion and the prosecution-aware drafting claim all framed around US practice. What is absent is the boundary. Nothing states whether foreign filings, PCT practice, office action responses, prosecution beyond drafting or other rights are supported, so a buyer has to infer the edges of the product.
