Invention management is the process of capturing, organizing, and evaluating invention disclosures before they become patent applications. IP Author houses all your Invention Disclosure Forms (IDFs) in one place, linking them to its Search module for analysis and running similarity checks to flag potential duplicates before filing.
AI reduces the manual work of reviewing invention disclosures by cross-referencing them against an integrated database and generating concise summaries of relevant results. This helps IP teams make faster, better-informed filing decisions and reduces time-to-file.

Yes. IP Author’s Invention Management module is built for both in-house IP teams and patent law firms, centralizing invention disclosures, similarity checks, and search integration in one system suited to the volume and workflow demands of firm-side patent practice.
IP Author protects sensitive patent information with enterprise-grade security. Your data is never used for model training and remains fully isolated. We offer Zero Data Retention options and strict confidentiality controls to support corporate IP teams and law firms.
