Editing Expertise
Generate Effective Prior Art for Publishing
After rating an invention for publication and before clicking a button to launch a disclosure into the public domain, you must consider, if your document is ready for the external audiences, if it reveals too much about the company and your development strategies, if your researchers find it, and when they do, if they understand it. Do you have the time and resources to generate a solid defensive publication?
IP.com’s Editing Services translates the invention disclosure to a defensive publication that performs as effective prior art. We ensure the description is clear, concise, consistent, and correct. Then, when you submit it to the Prior Art Database, you can be confident that your defensive publication protects your Freedom to Operate.

You Just Entered Your Invention Into a Public Chatbot. Congratulations — You Just Disclosed It!
Imagine spending years developing a proprietary framework. Something genuinely novel. Something you believe in enough to protect. Then imagine a federal judge looking at your trade secret claim and saying, in plain terms: you gave it away yourself. Not to a competitor. Not through careless conversation at a conference. You gave it away to the AI tool you trusted to help you build it.
From the Desk of Customer Success
Instead of relying only on titles and abstracts, teams can use Synopsis AI to get a stronger sense of what is actually in a document before committing to a full read. That makes it easier to validate relevance, prioritize the right materials, and keep projects moving.
