This one loop was a patentable invention.

    drift = cosine_sim(E[query], cache.E).std()              # semantic drift (uncertainty)

How it works.

1

Sign Up and Scan

Create an account and paste a GitHub URL. Your first repository scan is completely free. We cover the AI costs.

2

Review Your Discoveries

Our AI analyzes your codebase for strategic algorithms, architectures, and methods that may set your product apart from the competition. You get scored concepts with evidence citations from your actual code. A patent attorney can help you determine whether to attempt to protect these strategic concepts by filing a patent application.

3

Go Further With Your Own Key

Add your OpenRouter API key for unlimited scans. You choose the models. You see the costs. Full transparency.

And patent attorneys.

AI-structured disclosures

Scored strategic concepts with evidence citations from the actual codebase. Skip the hours of invention disclosure forms and intake interviews.

Alice/Mayo aware

Automatically generate a description of potentially patentable concepts, even a draft claim set anchored to specific technical implementations. Built with Section 101 compliance in mind. You, as attorney, guide and approve what is drafted during the entire process.

Scans where innovation lives

We scan Git repos and PRs, where innovation actually happens now, not meeting notes.

Attorney-first by design

We discover and structure. You exercise the legal judgment. Built to work with you, not replace you.

Managing a patent portfolio?

Systematic discovery

Scan across repos and teams to find innovations engineers don't flag. Turn reactive IP strategy into proactive portfolio building.

Scales with your org

From a single team to hundreds of engineers. Structured disclosures feed directly into your existing patent workflow.

Runs inside your perimeter

Local-first scanning keeps source code within your corporate environment. No external API calls, no cloud uploads, no compliance review required.

Questions we get a lot.

Is my first scan really free?
Yes. Your first repository scan is completely free. We cover the AI model costs. No credit card or API key required.
What kind of code can be patentable?
Novel algorithms, data processing pipelines, system architectures, and technical methods. Ultimately, your patent attorney can help you explore what might be patentable in your code. Most developers are surprised by how much of their existing code contains strategic concepts that set their product apart from the competition. Explore whether a strategic concept identified by our scanner might be inventive with a patent attorney.
How much does scanning cost?
Your first scan is free. After that, a typical repository scan costs roughly $0.50 to $2.00 in API credits on your OpenRouter account, depending on repository size.
What is OpenRouter?
OpenRouter is an AI gateway that gives you access to Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, and more through a single API key. You sign up, add credits, and control which models analyze your code.
Is my API key secure?
Yes. Your key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it touches our queue. The plaintext key is never logged, stored in a database, or visible to our team.
What can I do once I find a strategic concept that might be worth attempting to protect?
That's up to you. Some developers use their discoveries for fundraising conversations, defensive positioning, or internal IP tracking. For those who want to file, our technical disclosure pipeline is free while in beta. Try it out, give us feedback, and help shape the product before pricing kicks in.
