For independent inventors, founders, and early-stage companies

You know how your invention works. Your patent application should describe the nuances.

PatentPending.ai uses proven frameworks to describe your invention modularly—including alternatives, component relationships, and details many inventors miss. Bring a description, recording, drawing, technical document, or existing draft, and we’ll take care of the rest.

How Patent Pending Made Simple Works

Eight passes. Zero shortcuts.

General AI can perform many patent tasks with the right prompts, context, sequence, and review criteria. PatentPending.ai builds that process in: each stage has a defined assignment, and later stages review earlier work.

02Why Not Just Use ChatGPT or Claude?

Generic AI's polished prose can conceal patent problems.

See the questions hiding behind a convincing sentence.

Generic AI output

“A controller analyzes sensor data using a machine-learning model and generates an alert when equipment failure is predicted.”

A useful disclosure may still need to explain:

01

Which sensors generate the data?

02

How is the data prepared?

03

What does the model receive and produce?

04

How does a prediction trigger an alert or action?

05

Could another analytical approach work?

06

Where does the description support each claim concept?

Illustrative example. Findings identify potential issues for review; they are not a patentability opinion or a determination of legal sufficiency.

Interactive demo based on the PatentPending.ai interface. Project names, claims, references, findings, and technical details are illustrative and do not identify a particular invention.

04What Makes Patent Pending Made Simple Different?

Prompts, playbooks, and a curated patent-language library—built in.

Bring a notebook, prototype, prior draft, filing-service document, or general-AI output. PatentPending.ai adds the invention questions, drafting sequence, claim-support checks, quality reviews, and editable application structure.

Inventor questions and review playbooks

PatentPending.ai was created by Samar Shah, a practicing patent attorney who has prepared applications for companies including Facebook and Google, startups, and independent inventors.

The software applies his inventor questions, drafting framework, and review playbooks. Add attorney feedback and filing support when the facts or stakes require legal judgment.

06Don't Take Our Word for It. Hear From Real Inventors.

A complicated process, made manageable.

Inventors noticed the structure—not merely the prose.

The application through the program is very simple. It really spells things out, which I very much appreciated. I loved the examples it gave because it really helped guide me.

Michelle B.

Inventor, vehicle-repair product

We were expecting to spend days on the application, when it actually just took us a few hours to fill out.

Josefina H.

Co-inventor, micro-droplet levitation technology

What I liked was that it had a very structured approach. I was impressed the first time we hit ‘go’ and saw how clean and well-structured the output was.

Before you file

Common questions before you file.

Open only what you need. Each answer clarifies where the software helps—and where human judgment still matters.

What does PatentPending.ai produce?+

A structured provisional patent application draft you can review by section and export as an editable Word document. File it yourself, add attorney feedback, or choose filing support.

What can I use as source material?+

Use descriptions, notes, recordings, transcripts, drawings, screenshots, technical documents, invention disclosures, existing drafts, or any combination.

Can I bring work created in another tool?+

Yes—including drafts, templates, and ChatGPT or Claude conversations. They become source material, not proof that the disclosure is complete or correct.

How is this different from a general AI tool?+

General AI can explore ideas and generate patent-style language. PatentPending.ai adds a patent-specific question set, eight-stage drafting and review sequence, project structure, section-level revision, quality findings, editable export, and professional-support options. Both require human verification.

Can AI make factual mistakes?+

Yes. Review every technical statement, figure, inventor detail, date, and filing document. PatentPending.ai surfaces potential issues but does not certify factual or legal accuracy.

Does the software determine patentability?+

No. Drafting analysis and prior-art results are not a patentability opinion or guarantee. Patentability is fact-specific and may require a dedicated search and attorney review.

What if AI suggested part of the invention?+

AI assistance does not automatically prevent patent protection. Under current USPTO guidance, only natural persons may be inventors. If an AI suggestion may be central to a claim—or conception is unclear—consult a qualified patent attorney.

Could AI create confidentiality or disclosure issues?+

It depends on the tool, settings, terms, and how material was shared. Publicly sharing, launching, demonstrating, or offering the invention for sale can affect patent rights. If disclosure or commercial activity occurred, consult counsel promptly.

Is my information used to train AI models?+

PatentPending.ai's current privacy policy says customer invention materials and drafts are not used to train AI models. Review the policy and plan terms for processing, retention, deletion, security, and attorney-client relationship details.

What does a provisional application do?+

It can establish a U.S. filing date for adequately disclosed subject matter and permit ‘patent pending’ status. It is not examined or an issued patent. A corresponding non-provisional generally must be filed within 12 months to claim its benefit.

When can I say patent pending?+

Generally, after an application covering the invention is filed with the USPTO. A generated or downloaded draft is not a filing. Self-Serve and AI + Attorney Review users file; White Glove includes filing support.

General information, not legal advice. Patent rights, deadlines, inventorship, ownership, disclosures, and filing strategy depend on the facts. Review all generated work and consult qualified counsel when legal judgment is needed.
