Precursal helps you explore ideas, uncover white space, research prior art, document human conception, and prepare stronger materials for patent counsel.
A preliminary search can't guarantee that your product is clear to launch. But it can help you identify relevant patents and questions worth investigating.
What if a key part of the product you're developing is already covered by someone else's patent? π§
You could spend months on R&D before discovering technology that may affect your plans.
That's why patent research shouldn't be the final step before launch.
Understand the existing landscape early, identify potential overlaps, and investigate your options before committing further resources
@MicrosoftLearn judgment. AI can hand you 100 ideas in a minute. Knowing which one is worth pursuing, and being able to explain how you got there, is the skill
Things that can cost $50K:
π A new car
π A year of college
π A wedding
π Getting a patent
A big part of the cost? Expert time spent researching, reviewing, and preparing your application.
Precursal helps you do the groundwork before you sit down with patent counsel.
Start with research, not a blank page

Good question. Under current USPTO guidance, it comes down to conception: did a person form a definite idea of the complete invention, or just give AI a general goal? Using AI as a tool doesnβt automatically rule it out, but the human contribution matters.
Not legal advice, of course
AI can help generate ideas and explore possible solutions. But when it comes to patents, one question matters: what did the human actually invent? π§
In the US, AI cannot be named as an inventor on a patent application. The focus remains on the human contribution to the invention.
That makes it important to keep track of how an idea develops, what changes along the way, and what the inventor contributes.
Precursal helps document that process - so the path from an early idea to a developed invention doesn't get lost along the way.

One score doesnβt tell the whole story.
Precursal looks at novelty, overlap, differentiation, contribution, and competition to give you a clearer picture of your idea.
