Idea Discovery

Surface patents hiding in your daily engineering work.

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.

The aha moment

“We thought we were just refactoring our caching layer.”

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
Engineering team collaborating on a distributed-systems invention

You don't need a patent strategy. You need five minutes.

Here's what IP Ramp surfaces in your first week.

Day 1

Describe what you built.

  • Paste an architecture decision, a design doc, or just explain what was hard
  • IP Ramp identifies the inventive steps you didn’t notice
  • First patentable concepts surface in minutes
Day 3

See what’s real.

  • Alice pre-screening scores each concept automatically
  • Prior art search shows where the white space is
  • Your team picks the winners
Day 7

Wonder why you didn’t start sooner.

  • Claim skeletons ready for patent counsel
  • Monetization signals show which filings are worth pursuing
  • One week. Zero wasted attorney hours. IP portfolio started.

Three* ways your team is leaving money on the table.

*conservatively. We stopped counting after the caching layer incident.

You’re inventing and not realizing it.

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

You’re filing the wrong things.

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.

You’re filing without knowing what they’re worth.

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

For the engineer who just shipped something clever. And the CTO who wants to own it.

Simple defaults. Deep customization. IP Ramp works however your team works.

No patent expertise needed.

Describe what you built in plain English. IP Ramp handles the inventive analysis, the legal screening, and the claim drafting.

Works with any stack.

Distributed systems, ML pipelines, frontend frameworks, infrastructure — if your team built it, IP Ramp can analyze it.

Attorney-ready exports.

Claim skeletons, prior art reports, Alice analysis — in formats patent counsel expects. Less back-and-forth. Fewer billable hours.

Team sprints built in.

72-hour Invention Sprints fit into your existing dev cadence. Discover and validate IP without slowing delivery.
