Step 1: AI-Powered Patentability Search
Before investing in a patent application, it’s crucial to determine whether your invention is actually patentable. iPNOTE provides an online patentability search tool powered by artificial intelligence. This tool scans existing patent databases worldwide and delivers an initial assessment within minutes.
Why it matters:
- Saves money by avoiding costly applications for non-patentable inventions.

- Speeds up decision-making in the early stages of IP strategy.
This step can significantly reduce wasted time and resources and is ideal for startups, R&D teams, and tech entrepreneurs.
Step 2: AI Assistant for IP Strategy
Once the idea shows promise, iPNOTE’s AI assistant helps users develop a smart patent strategy. Based on your invention, industry, goals, and budget, it suggests:
- Where to file (local vs. international protection)
- What type of IP protection is needed (utility patent, design patent, trademark, etc.)
- Estimated timelines and costs
- You don’t need to be an IP expert to start.
- The AI provides actionable advice without the delays of scheduling consultations.
