1. Who We Are and What We Are Not
Patenti.AI ("Patenti," "we," "us," or "our") operates an AI-assisted software platform designed to help inventors, businesses, and IP professionals draft patent applications and manage intellectual property workflows.
⚠️ Patenti.AI is not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice, legal representation, or patent prosecution services of any kind. Nothing on our platform, in our AI-generated outputs, in our documentation, or in any communication from us constitutes legal advice. If you need legal advice about your patent rights, prosecution strategy, claim scope, freedom-to-operate, or any other legal matter, you must consult a qualified patent attorney or registered patent agent licensed in your jurisdiction.
By using our service, you expressly acknowledge and agree that you are not entering an attorney-client relationship with Patenti.AI.
2. Acceptance of These Terms
By creating an account or using the Patenti.AI platform ("Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
3. The Nature of AI-Generated Outputs
Our Service uses artificial intelligence to assist in drafting patent applications, claims, and related documents. You must understand the following before relying on any output:
- 1.AI outputs are drafts, not finished filings. Every document generated by our platform is a starting point for human review — not a submission-ready patent application.
- 2.AI outputs may contain errors. Generated claims, descriptions, or drawings may be legally insufficient, technically inaccurate, overly broad, overly narrow, or otherwise unsuitable for filing with any patent office.
- 3.You are responsible for review. Before submitting any AI-generated content to a patent office — directly or through a representative — you must thoroughly review it, preferably with a qualified patent attorney or agent.
- 4.No guarantee of patentability. Using our Service does not guarantee that any application will be granted, that any claims will survive examination, or that any patent will be enforceable.
- 5.Prosecution requires a human professional. Responding to office actions, appeals, and prosecution before patent offices requires the involvement of a licensed patent practitioner. Our Service does not perform these functions.
4. Ownership of Your Inventions and Disclosures
You retain full ownership of your inventions, invention disclosures, and all intellectual property you input into the Service at all times. These Terms do not transfer any ownership rights to Patenti.AI. We claim no rights in your inventions or in the patent applications you draft using our platform.
You grant us a limited, non-exclusive licence to process your content solely for the purpose of delivering the Service to you.
5. Acceptable Use
You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. You must not:
- 1.Submit false, fabricated, or materially misleading information in patent applications drafted using our platform.
- 2.Use the Service to file fraudulent or deceptive patent applications, or to prepare applications intended to deceive any patent office, third party, or court.
- 3.Use the Service in violation of any duty of candour, good faith, or disclosure obligation owed to any patent office.
- 4.Attempt to reverse-engineer, copy, or exploit our platform's underlying systems or AI models.
- 5.Resell or sublicence access to the Service without our written consent.
Violation of these provisions may result in immediate termination of your account and, where appropriate, referral to relevant authorities.
6. Fees and Payment
Access to the Service is provided on a subscription basis. Fees, billing cycles, and plan details are as stated on our pricing page at the time of your subscription. All fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law or as expressly stated in our refund policy.
7. Limitation of Liability
Please read this section carefully. It significantly limits our legal responsibility to you.
7.1 Liability cap.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Patenti.AI's total cumulative liability to you for any claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service — regardless of the cause of action or the theory of liability — is limited to the greater of: (a) the fees you actually paid to Patenti.AI in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred US dollars (USD $100).
7.2 Excluded losses.
We are not liable — under any legal theory — for:
- 1.Patent application rejections or failures to obtain a patent grant.
- 2.Loss of patent rights due to missed deadlines, regardless of cause.
- 3.Losses arising from reliance on any AI-generated draft, claim, description, or recommendation produced by the Service.
- 4.Loss of profits, revenue, business opportunity, data, or goodwill.
- 5.Indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages.
7.3 No warranty.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that outputs will be accurate or complete.
7.4 Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitations of liability. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
8. Data Use and Privacy
We may collect and use anonymised, aggregated data derived from usage of the Service for the purposes of improving our platform, conducting research, and developing new features. We will not use your individual invention disclosures to train AI models without your explicit consent. Our full data practices are described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.
9. Termination
Either party may terminate these Terms at any time. We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you breach these Terms, fail to pay applicable fees, or engage in conduct we reasonably believe is harmful to the Service or other users. Upon termination, your right to access the Service ceases. Sections 3, 4, 7, and 10 survive termination.
10. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of Israel. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Israel. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full effect.
11. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by a prominent notice within the Service at least fourteen (14) days before the changes take effect. Your continued use of the Service after that date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
