Manual patent drafting doesn't scale with disclosure volume
A single patent draft means a patent attorney or agent reading an inventor's disclosure and notes, structuring claims, writing the specification, and cross-checking prior art search results - line by line, for every invention that comes through. At low volume that's manageable. Across dozens of disclosures a year, it's the reason drafting backlogs build up and filing deadlines get tight.

Disclosure in, cited draft out
Four steps, every one logged and citable back to the disclosure.
01
Ingest
Reads the disclosure directly from your systems
Invention disclosure form, inventor notes, and technical diagrams - read from your IP management system or document repository. No separate upload step.

PD-51077 - edge-caching method disclosure
02
Match against prior art
Every claim checked against the disclosure and prior art
Claim elements, specification detail, and background - each checked against the disclosure and cross-referenced with prior art search results, not drafted from general knowledge.
Example query
"Does this claim element appear in the prior art search results?"
03
Cite every claim
No claim without a citation
Each claim links back to the exact disclosure section or prior art result it came from - the citation travels with the draft, not as a separate lookup.
Cited finding
Independent claim 2 overlaps with a prior art reference found in the search - narrow the claim or address in prosecution.

Is this the right fit?
Built for a filing pipeline - not a one-off disclosure.
✓ Works best for
- IP teams filing 10+ patent applications a year
- Organizations with a documented invention disclosure process
- Patent attorneys wanting every claim traceable to the disclosure
Too small for
- A single disclosure a patent attorney can draft faster than configuring the match
- Replacing patent attorney judgment on claim strategy or prosecution
- Disclosures too incomplete to draft claims from
Grounded in the disclosure, not a black box
Compliance-first, the same standard every Sphere agent is held to.
The agent drafts only from the inventor's actual disclosure and prior art search results - it flags a conflict rather than ignoring it. Every draft sits between disclosure and the patent attorney's own review and filing decision, never past it.
Claims reference the specific disclosure section or prior art result directly - the same audit-trail standard every Sphere agent on the Foundry is held to.
Prerequisites disclosure + prior art search
The invention disclosure and prior art search results are required before a draft is returned.
Human review required
A patent attorney confirms every draft before it's filed - never fully autonomous.
Source grounding disclosure-cited
Claims reference the specific disclosure section or prior art result directly in every draft.

Frequently asked
Does the Patent & IP Drafting Agent replace a patent attorney?
No. It drafts from the disclosure and flags prior art conflicts - the patent attorney handles claim strategy and the filing decision.
What patent types does it support?
Utility patent applications out of the box. Additional patent types can be discussed during onboarding.
How does it integrate with our IP management system?
It reads directly from your IP management system or document repository - no separate upload step required. Integration scope is confirmed during deployment planning.
Is every claim traceable to the disclosure?
Yes. Every claim cites the specific disclosure section or prior art result it came from - there is no claim without a citation back to the source.
How is this different from a generic drafting tool?
It grounds every claim in the actual disclosure and cross-references real prior art search results, rather than generating generic patent language. It runs on Sphere AI Foundry, so the access controls and audit trail configured here carry forward to other agents you deploy.
