AutoInvent

AutoInvent is an AI patent filing tool that generates ready-to-file provisional patent documentation for entrepreneurs and inventors. Instead of hiring a patent attorney, users upload their invention details, sketches, and ideas to a secure platform, and AutoInvent drafts the provisional patent application — formatted for submission to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) — within minutes.

The tool targets early-stage founders and independent inventors who want to lock in a priority date quickly and inexpensively. A provisional patent gives an invention one full year of protection, providing time to build, fundraise, and test before committing to a full (non-provisional) patent filing. AutoInvent's role is to turn a plain-language description of an idea into the structured documentation that filing requires, lowering the barrier for people who would otherwise be deterred by legal cost and complexity.

Core capabilities include AI-generated provisional patent paperwork, a secure upload workflow for invention materials, and output that is ready to file with the USPTO at the standard government fee (referenced on the site as $65 for the provisional filing itself). Because it automates document drafting rather than offering legal counsel, AutoInvent suits inventors comfortable reviewing their own filings, and is best treated as a fast first step rather than a replacement for an attorney on complex or high-stakes inventions.

Drafting and filing provisional patent applications, securing a one-year priority date for an invention, protecting startup and inventor ideas before a full patent filing, and creating USPTO-ready patent documentation without hiring an attorney.
