The decision it owns

Deciding what to file is the most expensive call in IP.

And it's usually made on gut feel. A wasted filing costs tens of thousands. A missed one can cost millions. DisclosurePlus makes that call fast, rigorous, and traceable, so the money follows the inventions that earn it.

It starts where the invention actually starts: a rough write-up, a conference abstract, an inventor conversation. It extracts what's genuinely new, tests it against the prior art, generates a follow-up interview to close the gaps it finds, and drafts a provisional ready for counsel or licensing review.

The statutory read

The four questions that decide a filing.

§101

Eligibility

Whether it's the kind of invention the law lets you patent at all — not an abstract idea or a natural phenomenon.

§102

Novelty

Whether it's genuinely new, or already disclosed in the prior art.

§103

Non-obviousness

Whether it's more than an obvious combination of what's already known — the bar most filings fail.

§112

Enablement

Whether the disclosure actually teaches someone skilled in the field how to make and use it.

Each assessed feature by feature, with the evidence behind every call.

What you get

Six deliverables, every run.

Filing recommendation

A clear file, hold, or drop call, with the evidence behind it.

Four statutory assessments

§101, §102, §103, and §112, feature by feature.

Disclosure-gap detection

What's missing from the inventor's write-up, flagged before it costs you.

Drafted provisional application

A filing-ready draft for the inventions worth pursuing.

Full audit trail

Every finding tied to a publication and a specific feature.

Stakeholder-ready exports

Counsel package, executive report, inventor brief.

How it works

Seed to provisional.

Seed

Start from an inventor interview, a seed document, or both.

Extract

Pull out the essential inventive features that define what's actually new.

Analyze

Run the statutory read across §101, §102, §103, and §112, with prior-art identification.

Refine

Generate a targeted follow-up interview to close the gaps the analysis surfaced, then reassess.

Draft

Produce a provisional application ready for IP counsel or licensing review.

What every assessment is checked against

Novelty is only as good as what you check it against.

Confidentiality

Your unpublished inventions stay unpublished.

We never train our model on what you submit. We never share it between customers. You retain all rights, and you may delete your disclosures on demand. For the most sensitive filings, optional IPFirewall mode keeps documents inside our walls and never sends them to public LLMs.
