Most founders don’t wake up thinking about patents. You’re busy building your product, talking to users, fixing bugs, and figuring out how to scale. The last thing you want is to get buried in paperwork or legal jargon. But deep down, you also know that if you’re building something valuable, you should protect it before…

You’ve built something big. Maybe it’s code, a machine, or a new system no one’s thought of yet. And now, you’re asking the right question: How do I protect this around the world? Here’s the honest answer most people won’t tell you: You can file international patents using software. Not only that, you can do…

Let’s face it—filing a patent isn’t the fun part of building something new. You’ve got a product to ship, customers to win, and a team to lead. But skipping the boring stuff? That can cost you everything. That’s why understanding how to stay compliant with USPTO rules really matters. And yes, there are a lot…

If you’re building something new—something that solves a problem, moves fast, and maybe even shakes up an industry—you already know it’s valuable. But if you don’t protect it, someone else could copy it. That’s where patents come in. The Old Way of Drafting Patents (And Why It’s Broken) The Hidden Friction Nobody Talks About Most…

Filing your first patent can feel like walking into a fog. You know it matters. You know it protects what you’re building. But you’re also juggling 100 things, and spending thousands on lawyers you don’t know or trust doesn’t feel like the move. You’re a builder. A founder. An engineer. You want to protect your…

Let’s cut to the chase. If you’re building something big—writing code, designing hardware, training models—you’ve probably asked yourself: Should I get a patent? Then, right after that comes a second question: Do I really need a lawyer… or can AI just do this for me? What a Patent Attorney Actually Does (And Why It’s Not…

They were slow. Expensive. Full of confusing legal words. And worst of all? They often felt completely out of sync with how fast startups move. If you’ve ever built something innovative and tried to protect it, you probably know the feeling. You have to pause what you’re building just to wade through a sea of…

Getting a patent isn’t what it used to be. Startups move fast. Tech moves faster. But the old way of getting patents? Still stuck in slow motion. Endless paperwork. Unclear rules. Months waiting for feedback—only to get a rejection that could have been avoided. It’s frustrating. It’s expensive. And honestly, it feels broken. The Problem…

If you’re building something new, chances are you’re moving fast. Really fast. You’re coding, designing, shipping, testing, pivoting—all at once. The last thing you want is for someone else to copy what you built while you’re still figuring it out. But that’s exactly what happens when patents get pushed aside. How the Patent Process Used…

You’re building something important. Maybe it’s a new kind of AI model. Maybe it’s a breakthrough in hardware or a platform that’s going to shake up the industry. No matter what it is, it’s yours—and you want to protect it. But if you’re like most founders, dealing with patents might feel like a slow, expensive…
