## Key Facts

- The service helps independent inventors prepare provisional patent application drafts; it does not guarantee that a patent will issue.
- Patent pending status begins after an application is filed with the USPTO, not when a draft is generated.
- Inventor pricing starts at $599 per application. Attorney and team plans are billed monthly.
- The workflow uses eight specialized drafting and review agents, followed by user review and editing.
- Self-Serve includes an editable Word export and filing tutorials. Higher tiers add attorney feedback or filing support.
- Use of the software alone does not create an attorney-client relationship; attorney involvement depends on the selected service and a separate engagement where applicable.
