IP Ramp finds patentable ideas buried in the work your team already does — and turns them into money.
“We refactored the distributed cache invalidation to use bloom filters across 12 microservices. When any service updates a shared entity, the bloom filter propagates the invalidation in O(1) instead of our old pub-sub fanout…”
The use of bloom filters for cross-service cache invalidation represents a non-obvious optimization over traditional pub-sub patterns, achieving constant-time propagation.
Software teams are sitting on millions in unrecognized IP
Software patents filed yearly in the US
Average cost per filing — most of it wasted on bad ideas
Rejected under Alice because nobody checked first
Patentable ideas your team shipped and never filed
IP Ramp Platform
Four steps from “I didn't know that was patentable” to revenue.
Idea Discovery
Describe what your team built. AI identifies the inventive steps you didn’t notice — the non-obvious architectural decisions, the clever workarounds, the optimizations that felt routine but aren’t.
Learn more →Alice Pre-Screener
Section 101 eligibility scoring. Every concept scored 0–100 against Alice case law with actionable fixes. Know what’s worth filing before you call a lawyer.
Learn more →Contradiction Matrix
30 software parameters. 15 inventive principles. Tell IP Ramp what you’re trying to improve and what gets worse — it shows you where the patent-worthy solutions live.
Try it live →Prior Art Search
Automated search across Google Patents filtered by software CPC classes. Results inline with your ideas so you know exactly where the white space is.
Learn more →Claim Generator
Auto-drafted method, system, and CRM claims following patent best practices. Export-ready packets that cut attorney time in half.
Learn more →Monetization Signals
See which of your discovered patents map to active licensing markets, competitor portfolios, and M&A signals. File strategically, not randomly.
Learn more →That's what most engineering teams say. The clever workaround you shipped on a Friday. The optimization nobody wrote a design doc for. The architecture decision that “just made sense.” Those are inventions. You're leaving them on the table.
See what IP Ramp finds →You don't need a patent strategy. You need five minutes.
*conservatively. We stopped counting after the caching layer incident.
Every architectural decision, every clever optimization, every workaround that “just worked” — some of those are patentable. IP Ramp scans your descriptions and flags what’s novel.
Idea Discovery →60% of software patents get rejected under Alice because nobody screened them first. IP Ramp scores every idea before you spend a dollar on counsel.
Alice Pre-Screener →A patent filing costs $15–25K. Some are worth millions. Some are worth nothing. IP Ramp shows you the monetization signals before you write the check.
Monetization Signals →Simple defaults. Deep customization. IP Ramp works however your team works.
Describe what you built in plain English. IP Ramp handles the inventive analysis, the legal screening, and the claim drafting.
Distributed systems, ML pipelines, frontend frameworks, infrastructure — if your team built it, IP Ramp can analyze it.
Claim skeletons, prior art reports, Alice analysis — in formats patent counsel expects. Less back-and-forth. Fewer billable hours.
72-hour Invention Sprints fit into your existing dev cadence. Discover and validate IP without slowing delivery.
