BUILD IP WITH LIMITED RESOURCES
Patent Tools Built for Startups
Early-stage teams need to protect their technical edge before pitching, publishing, or launching—without spending the runway on a first draft. IPnite gives founders a guided path from invention to filing-ready application.
IPniteFile before you disclose
Demo days, investor decks, papers, and product launches can become public disclosures. In most countries a public disclosure before filing can destroy novelty; the grace periods that exist in the United States, Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil are limited and not recognized everywhere. A filed application—often a provisional in the United States or Mexico—lets you talk about your technology with far less risk.
What founders do with IPnite
IPnite turns founder knowledge into an organized disclosure, checks it against prior art, and produces a structured application you can file yourself or hand to counsel for a faster, cheaper review.
- Run prior-art searches before major filing spend
- Turn technical know-how into a complete disclosure
- Draft claims, description, and drawings in one project
- Export DOCX for filing or professional review
- Keep versions, collaborators, and deadlines in one portfolio

Your IP, your decisions
Everything you create in IPnite belongs to your company, and IPnite never uses it to train AI. IPnite is software, not a law firm: you decide when to file on your own and when to bring in a patent professional.
Frequently asked questions
Should a startup file before talking to investors?
Filing first is the safest route. Many investors do not sign NDAs, and some disclosures can limit your ability to patent later. A provisional application is a common way to secure a date quickly.
Can founders draft without an attorney?
Yes. IPnite produces a complete, structured application. You can file it yourself or have it reviewed by a professional; either way, review is your responsibility.
