The trap

A patent is a $50,000 bet most people make blind.

You can't tell if it's been done before. You can't ask around without risking your rights. And you pay most of the cost before anyone tells you it was a smart move.

Intuo is the cheap, honest look before the expensive part.

How it works

Four steps. No lawyer required to start.

01

Describe it — privately

Tell Intuo what you built, in plain language. Everything stays confidential. Not a public idea board.

02

Answer a few questions

Intuo asks what a sharp patent attorney would. Minutes, not meetings.

03

Get your options report

A clear read: patentability, prior art, the best protection path, and whether it's worth it.

04

Ready to file? We help

If a U.S. patent makes sense, we help you draft it and refer you to an attorney to file.

Who it's for

Startups and small-to-midsized businesses who need to know their options.

You've built something worth protecting — a startup's core tech, a new product, or a process you rely on. You're not trying to become a patent expert; you just need to know whether to patent it, keep it secret, or move on.

What you get

A real answer, not a sales pitch.

REF. 01

Patentability, in plain English

The things that actually sink patents — close prior art, obviousness, ineligible subject matter — laid out clearly.

REF. 02

The right kind of protection

Trade secret vs. provisional vs. full patent vs. doing nothing — and why one fits better than the others.

REF. 03

Is it even worth it?

A grounded read on commercial value and how strong the protection would really be.

REF. 04

Confidential by design

Never published, never sold, never used to train AI. Using Intuo doesn't trigger public disclosure.

REF. 05

A clean attorney handoff

If you file, you walk in with the homework done — and save on billable hours.

REF. 06

Built by people who've done it

An IP litigator, a licensing expert, and an AI expert. Not a lead-gen form pretending to be a lawyer.

Compare that to $25,000–$50,000 to actually get a patent — plus maintenance fees, plus enforcement — paid before you know it was the right call.

Questions

The things people ask first.

No — that's the whole point. Public disclosure is sharing your invention openly, with no confidentiality, which can cost you your rights. Everything you put into Intuo is kept private, never published, and never used to train AI. Your rights stay protected.

No. Intuo is a confidential screening tool, not a law firm. It gives you an assessment and the right questions to ask — it doesn't create an attorney-client relationship. For actual legal advice, that's where the strategy session and attorney referrals come in.

Search tools find prior art but won't tell you what to do with it. Legal services and promotion shops mostly want to sell you the expensive thing. Intuo sits in the gap: an honest read on whether the expensive thing is even worth it — and it'll tell you to walk away when that's right.

Tell us — it's one of the first things Intuo asks. Prior disclosure can affect your rights, especially overseas, and your report factors it in. The U.S. has a one-year grace period; other countries are stricter, so it's worth knowing early.

Yes, optionally. If your report points toward a U.S. patent, we can help you draft the application and refer you to a vetted attorney to file it. Plenty of people just take their report and go from there.
