How We Compare
A score is not a strategy.
A new category of AI tools will screen your idea in ten minutes and hand you a verdict — a score, a grade, a green light. We built something different, and the difference is worth three minutes of your time.
Credit Where Due
Start with what the screeners get right.
Start with what the screeners get right: they are fast, they are cheap, and a ten-minute read against millions of patents beats no read at all. If all you need is early triage — is this idea obviously old? — a screener is a reasonable first stop. We mean that.
Only a handful of companies even claim territory near ours. The serious ones build AI software for IP professionals to operate — if your counsel uses one, good; it makes their work faster. The fast ones hand you a score in ten minutes. If you've met one of these tools, you may recognize the fine print below. What none of them delivers is what you're reading on this site: a finished, human-curated file in plain English, with the evidence attached and a law firm behind it.
Where The Verdict Breaks
Read the fine print — theirs, and ours.
What a product's own terms say about it is the most honest description you will ever get. Every quote below is verbatim from the published documents of two widely marketed AI patent screeners, as of July 2026.
A proprietary score — 250 to 900, formula undisclosed — cannot be defended to an investment committee, a board, or a skeptical buyer, because the work is not shown. You can repeat the number. You cannot argue for it.
A screener's product ends at the verdict. No named targets. No claim charts. No valuation you can trace to its assumptions. No plan for the money, and no counsel to route to when a finding turns legal.
What We Do Instead
Show the work.
Scores tell you what a model thinks. Tools make professionals faster. We deliver the file — what you have, what it’s worth, who’s using it, and what to do next, with the evidence attached. Inventiply was built by a law firm's foundry to a different standard: show the work. A report names the targets and cites the public evidence for every claim element. It states value as a band and names the three assumptions that drive the spread. It marks what is not yet proven, because intelligence you can act on has to tell you its own confidence. Your submission is covered by written confidentiality terms you accept before you share a word of technical detail — terms that say what our marketing says. And when a finding crosses into legal territory, there is an actual law firm, DeepLaw LLP or your own counsel, to take it — under a separate engagement, with the privilege and review that legal work deserves.
The Test We Invite
Don't take the comparison on faith.
Read our sample report — all of it, built from a famous public Google patent, nothing blacked out. Then ask any screener for theirs. See a sample report (Google patent) →
And read our Terms of Use next to theirs. Ours say the same thing our homepage says. That shouldn't be a differentiator. In this market, it is.
Inventiply reports are decision-support analysis, not legal advice. Where legal work is required, it is performed by DeepLaw LLP or your own counsel, under a separate engagement.
