Terms of Use

Terms of Use

Effective date: July 15, 2026

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website located at inventiply.com (the “Site”) and the reports, analyses, scans, and related services offered through it (the “Services”). The Site and Services are operated by DeepLaw LLP, a California limited liability partnership, operating its Inventiply Foundry™ division (“Inventiply,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

Please read these Terms carefully. They include important disclaimers, a no-reliance provision, an acknowledgment that our reports are not legal advice, limitations on our liability, and a binding arbitration provision with a class action waiver. By using the Site or ordering a Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1. Who may use the Site

You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. If you use the Site on behalf of a company or another person, you represent that you have authority to bind them, and “you” includes them.

2. What the Services are — and what they are not

Inventiply produces AI-assisted research and analysis — generated by systems designed and curated by experienced practitioners — concerning patents and other intellectual property: screening reads, risk and opportunity reviews, evidence-of-use research, valuation ranges, monetization analyses, and related deliverables (each, a “Report”).

Reports are decision-support research. They are not legal services. Specifically, and notwithstanding anything else on the Site:

  1. No legal advice. Reports and all Site content are provided for informational purposes only and do not constitute legal advice, a legal opinion, an infringement opinion, a validity or enforceability opinion, a freedom-to-operate opinion, a valuation opinion for accounting, tax, or litigation purposes, or investment, financial, or tax advice.

  2. No attorney–client relationship. Your use of the Site, submission of any material, purchase of any Report, receipt and review of a Report, or communication with us through the Site does not create an attorney–client relationship with DeepLaw LLP or any of its attorneys, and does not make you a client of DeepLaw LLP. An attorney–client relationship with DeepLaw LLP is formed only by a separate, signed engagement agreement. Unless and until such an agreement exists, no attorney–client privilege attaches to your communications with Inventiply or to any Report.

  3. Named products and companies are hypotheses. Where a Report or the Site names a product, service, or company, that naming is an unverified, illustrative hypothesis about where a patented system might appear in the market — not an accusation, charge, or assertion of infringement. Whether any product practices any claim is a legal question reserved to qualified patent counsel.

  4. Estimates are estimates. Valuations, ranges, royalty figures, and similar outputs rest on assumptions that are identified in the Report and that reasonable experts can and do choose differently. They are not predictions, appraisals, or guarantees of value or outcome.

  5. Two ways of working. Reports ordered through the Site are standardized deliverables generated by AI systems whose methods were designed, and are curated, by experienced practitioners. Unless expressly stated in the deliverable itself, a Report ordered through the Site is not individually reviewed by an attorney, is not legal work product, and is not covered by attorney–client privilege. Bespoke work arranged separately with DeepLaw LLP under a signed engagement letter is different: it is a legal engagement, with attorney review and attorney–client privilege as provided by law and the terms of that engagement. Nothing on the Site converts a Site-ordered Report into legal services.

3. Retain counsel before you act

You acknowledge that decisions about intellectual property — including whether to file, prosecute, maintain, abandon, license, buy, sell, assert, or litigate any patent, application, or other IP right, or to make or withhold any investment — carry significant legal and financial consequences, and that Reports are not a substitute for the advice of qualified counsel retained by you. You agree that you will not treat any Report as a recommendation to take or refrain from any such action, and that you should consult qualified legal counsel before making any decision of consequence based on a Report. If you need counsel, DeepLaw LLP may be engaged separately, or we can suggest that you consult counsel of your choosing in the relevant jurisdiction.

4. No reliance

The Site and the Reports are made available on the understanding that you will conduct, or retain professionals to conduct, your own independent investigation and verification before acting. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree that you use the Site and the Reports at your own risk, that you do not and will not rely on the Site or any Report as the basis for any legal, business, investment, or filing decision without independent verification and the advice of your own advisors, and that neither DeepLaw LLP nor Inventiply owes you any duty of care in connection with the Site or any Report except as expressly stated in a separate signed engagement.

Your use of a Report is your own conduct. Sending a demand letter, making an accusation, approaching a company named in a Report, or initiating enforcement is your decision and your act. Such conduct can create legal exposure for you — including the risk that a target files a declaratory-judgment action — regardless of any disclaimer in the Report, and nothing in a Report or these Terms immunizes it. Consult counsel before approaching anyone.

5. AS-IS; disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE, ALL SITE CONTENT, AND ALL REPORTS AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, DEEPLAW LLP DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, CURRENCY, RELIABILITY, OR THAT THE SITE OR SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED FROM US OR THROUGH THE SITE, CREATES ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY MADE IN THESE TERMS. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING: (i) WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY REPORT IDENTIFIES EVERY RELEVANT PATENT, CLAIM, PRODUCT, RISK, OR POTENTIAL INFRINGER, OR THAT ANY SEARCH IS COMPREHENSIVE; AND (ii) PATENT APPLICATIONS ARE GENERALLY UNPUBLISHED FOR EIGHTEEN (18) MONTHS AFTER FILING AND CANNOT BE SEARCHED DURING THAT PERIOD, SO NO REPORT CAN ACCOUNT FOR THEM. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you.

6. AI-assisted work

Reports are generated with substantial assistance from artificial-intelligence systems whose methods were designed, and are curated, by experienced practitioners. AI systems can err, including by mis-reading sources or producing incomplete results. The nature and extent of human review, if any, for a given deliverable is stated in the deliverable itself; Section 5 applies to all output regardless. Our production methodology — including the systems, models, prompts, and processes we use and how their outputs are combined — is proprietary and confidential, and nothing in these Terms or any Report grants you rights in it. Our handling of the information you submit, including its processing by AI service providers under confidentiality obligations, is described in our Privacy Policy and the Submission Confidentiality Terms.

7. Your submissions

  1. Confidentiality. Materials you submit through our intake forms are handled in accordance with the Submission Confidentiality Terms you accept at the point of submission, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference. If there is a conflict between those terms and these Terms with respect to your submitted materials, the Submission Confidentiality Terms control.

  2. Your promises about what you send. You represent that you have the right to share what you submit; that your submissions do not knowingly violate any law, court order, or third-party confidentiality obligation; and that you will not submit materials subject to export-control restrictions or a secrecy order.

  3. License to us. You grant DeepLaw LLP a limited, non-exclusive license to use, reproduce, and process your submissions solely to provide and improve the Services for you, consistent with the Submission Confidentiality Terms and our Privacy Policy.

  4. Public samples. We publish sample Reports built only from public patents. We do not publish client submissions or client Reports.

  5. Reports that name third parties. A delivered Report may identify third parties whose products appear worth investigating. Every such identification is an unverified hypothesis for further investigation — not a statement of fact and not an accusation. You agree not to provide, forward, or disclose a Report, or the substance of its third-party identifications, to any party named in it, and to treat the Report as confidential except as shared with your own professional advisors under Section 9.

8. Fees, quotes, and payment

Pricing for Reports is stated on the Site or quoted in writing. Scoped tiers are quoted in writing before engagement. Unless otherwise stated in writing: fees are in U.S. dollars; taxes are your responsibility; and fees paid at a lower tier credit toward an upgrade if you upgrade within ninety (90) days after delivery of the lower-tier Report, unless a written quote or the Report states a different window. Refunds are at our sole discretion — except that if a delivered Report contains demonstrable material errors, we will consider a refund request in our reasonable discretion.

9. Intellectual property; license to you

The Site and its content — including text, design elements, graphics, report formats, and the marks DeepLaw™, Inventiply™, Inventiply Foundry™, and Infringement Detective™ — are owned by DeepLaw LLP or its licensors. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-transferable license to access the Site and to use Reports you have lawfully obtained for your internal business purposes. You may share a Report with your own professional advisors under confidentiality; you may not resell, republish, or make a Report or the Site content available to the public, or use them to build a competing service. Do not scrape, harvest, reverse engineer, or use automated means to access the Site without our written permission.

10. Acceptable use

You will not use the Site or Services to violate any law or third-party right; to transmit malware or interfere with the Site’s operation; to attempt unauthorized access; or to misrepresent your identity or authority.

11. Third-party sites and sources

The Site and Reports cite and link to third-party sources. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party content, and a citation is not an endorsement.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (a) NEITHER DEEPLAW LLP NOR ITS PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST OPPORTUNITIES, LOSS OF DATA, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE, THE SERVICES, OR THESE TERMS, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND (b) THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF DEEPLAW LLP ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE, THE SERVICES, AND THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (i) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE AND (ii) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so portions of this section may not apply to you; in that case liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted.

13. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless DeepLaw LLP and its partners, employees, and agents from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your submissions, or your misuse of a Report — including any use of a Report to accuse, threaten, or sue a third party contrary to Section 2(c).

14. Dispute resolution — binding arbitration; class action waiver

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or the Services will be resolved by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in San Francisco County, California, under its applicable rules, before a single arbitrator; judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. You and DeepLaw LLP each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class, collective, or representative action. Either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief for IP misuse in court. You may opt out of this arbitration provision by emailing contact@deeplawfirm.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms; opting out does not affect the rest of these Terms.

Any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or the Services must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim accrues; claims not commenced within that period are permanently barred. This paragraph does not apply where prohibited by law.

15. Governing law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

16. Changes; termination

We may update these Terms by posting a revised version with a new effective date; material changes will be flagged on the Site. Continued use after the effective date is acceptance. We may suspend or terminate Site access for breach. Sections 2–7, 9, and 12–17 survive termination.

17. General

These Terms, the Submission Confidentiality Terms, and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and DeepLaw LLP regarding the Site, and supersede prior understandings on that subject. A separate signed engagement or order controls over these Terms for its subject matter. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them in connection with a reorganization or transfer of the practice. Notices to us: contact@deeplawfirm.com or DeepLaw LLP, 548 Market Street #22, San Francisco, CA 94104.
