AI-powered patent work, with humans in control
Patents from disclosure to maintenance.
Research, draft, prosecute, file, and manage a patent portfolio in one confidential workspace—backed by evidence, deterministic documents, and explicit human gates.
- Disclosure reviewed Complete
- Prior-art search 42 sources
- Claims and support In review
- Filing package Locked
One system, two ways to work
Structure when you need it. Agency when you want it.
Workbench and Agent operate on the same matters, documents, evidence, permissions, and immutable history.
Structured mode
Workbench
Navigate matters, searches, claims, deadlines, reviews, and filing records through a purpose-built IP workspace.
- Portfolio and matter views
- Docket and review queues
- Document and evidence lineage
Agent mode
Agent
Research, reason, and draft in a matter-bound conversation where every source and proposed change stays reviewable.
- Evidence-backed research
- Operation-level proposals
- Explicit human approval gates
The complete US lifecycle
One continuous record, from first disclosure onward.
Each stage carries forward its evidence, decisions, reviewers, versions, and official receipts.

- 03
Draft
Build claims, support maps, figures, and filing-ready documents.
- 04
File
Validate the package before a named human signs and submits.
- 05
Prosecute
Work office actions through cited, reviewable responses.

Confidential by design
Patent work deserves a hard boundary.
US-only storage and processing by default, tenant isolation, matter restrictions, immutable audit evidence, and no cross-customer learning without explicit organization opt-in.
Read the security overview →Filing boundary
Automation prepares. A named human files.
ZergPatents validates and freezes the package. A named human reviews, signs, pays, and submits through USPTO Patent Center. A matter is shown as filed only after an official receipt is imported and confirmed.
