Plan Guide
The core drafting system is included in every inventor plan. The difference is how much professional review and filing help you want around that draft.
Choose Self-Serve when
Self-Serve is designed for inventors who are comfortable reviewing their own materials and filing directly with the USPTO. You provide the invention details, work through the eight-agent drafting pipeline, refine individual sections as needed, and export the completed Word document. The $599 price covers one application; the separate USPTO filing fee is paid when you submit it.
Choose Attorney Review when
AI + Attorney Review adds a 45-minute strategy call before drafting and one hour of attorney feedback on the resulting application. It fits inventors who still want to manage the filing but would value help shaping the input, spotting issues, and improving the draft before submission. The software workflow remains the same, with attorney guidance added around it.
Choose White Glove when
White Glove includes the software, the attorney strategy and review steps, and paralegal filing with the USPTO. It is the clearest fit when you want to avoid navigating the filing forms yourself. Government fees remain separate because they are paid to the USPTO, but the administrative filing step is handled for you.
What your plan price covers
Your selected plan covers the drafting workflow and the exact support listed for that tier. Each purchase is for one provisional patent application, including section-by-section regeneration and a USPTO-ready Word export.
What remains separate
USPTO government filing fees are separate from every plan. A provisional application also does not become an issued patent by itself: it establishes a filing date and gives you twelve months to decide whether to pursue a non-provisional application.

Questions
A provisional patent application is a placeholder that gives you "patent pending" status for 12 months at a lower cost ($65–$325 government filing fee depending on entity size). It's never examined by the patent office. Within 12 months, you must convert it to a non-provisional (utility) patent application, or the provisional expires. Our software helps you draft a high-quality provisional.
Yes — inventors can file provisional patent applications themselves with the USPTO. Our software is designed to guide you through the process with attorney-designed questions and AI that uses the same templates our attorneys use. For provisionals especially, this can be a smart, cost-effective approach to establish your filing date while you validate your idea.
You have 12 months of "patent pending" status to test your idea in the market, pitch to investors, or refine your invention. Before the 12 months expire, you'll need to decide whether to convert to a non-provisional utility application (which does get examined). Our partner firm, Outlier Patent Attorneys, offers full-service attorney drafting starting at $6,000 for provisionals and $12,000 for non-provisionals.
General AI tools don't understand patent law. Our eight specialized agents are trained on battle-tested patent applications and built on the same custom templates our licensed patent attorneys use daily. Each agent has a specific legal function — novelty identification, §101 strategy, claims drafting, specification drafting, §112(a) support checking, scope and antecedent checking, profanity/scope-limiting language removal, and final consistency review — that generic AI simply can't do.
Every section is independently editable and regenerable. If a claim doesn't feel right, regenerate it without re-running the entire pipeline. If you want more depth on a component, expand it. You're always in control. And if you want professional eyes on it, upgrade to our Attorney Review tier.
Absolutely. Your invention data is encrypted and never shared with third parties. We take confidentiality as seriously as any attorney-client relationship. Your information is used solely to generate your patent application.
The USPTO charges a separate filing fee for provisional applications. For micro entities (most independent inventors), this is approximately $65. For small entities, it's approximately $130. For large entities, it's approximately $325. These fees are paid directly to the USPTO when you file and are not included in our pricing. See our full patent cost breakdown for professional preparation, filing, and longer-term costs.
A provisional patent application filed today establishes your priority date. Start for as little as $599.
