IP Author

IP Author is an AI copilot for patent professionals. Its public product pages describe patent drafting, prior-art search, office-action responses, evidence-of-use assistance, patent classification and invention management. The service is aimed at patent attorneys, law firms and in-house intellectual-property teams. Its terms explicitly distinguish the software from the provision of legal advice or legal services.

The tools organize patent-related work around invention information, search results and draft documents. A professional must review generated material for factual accuracy, completeness and the requirements of the relevant patent office. This review did not create an account, submit an invention, connect an AI assistant or test the quality of a patent draft. Time-saving, customer-count and compliance claims have not been independently verified.

The pricing page lists the Patent Drafting Tool and Office Action Response separately at USD 4,800 per year each, with a twelve-month commitment. Their bundle is USD 9,590 per year. A fourteen-day trial is advertised. The bundle specifies current support for USPTO and EPO workflows; confirm the selected product, jurisdiction, usage allowance and final contract before purchasing.

The September 2026 policies distinguish website contact and marketing data from customer patent data in the authenticated service. They describe AWS hosting and OpenAI processing, and state that customer material is not used for model training without consent. Those are provider commitments, not an independent security audit. An optional AI-assistant connection passes queries and responses through that assistant's platform under its own policy. Retention and deletion also depend on the service agreement and backup rules. Review those terms before sharing confidential inventions.
