Idea Foundry

Move from inventor idea to draft-ready disclosure faster with AI-guided capture.

Transform Ideas Into Draft-Ready Disclosures

Idea Foundry makes invention capture easier for inventors and more useful for IP teams.

Instead of relying on incomplete forms, long email threads, or inconsistent invention submissions, Idea Foundry uses AI-guided conversations to help inventors explain their ideas, refine technical details, and produce structured disclosure content for review.
Inventors remain in control throughout the process. They can edit AI-generated content, validate technical details, regenerate suggested summaries, refine disclosures with co-inventors, and review supporting visuals before submission.

Because faster, higher-quality disclosures can help secure earlier filing priority.
With AI-guided capture and strategic insight, your team can turn early concepts into more complete, attorney-ready disclosures faster.

Strategic IP Intelligence

Beyond invention capture, Idea Foundry helps teams prioritize innovation, align patent activity with business goals, and focus resources on the highest-value ideas.

Solving the Challenges That Slow Invention Capture

Challenge: Inventors may leave out important technical details, making it harder for IP teams to evaluate and draft applications efficiently.
CPI’s Solution: Idea Foundry guides inventors through structured AI conversations that capture key details, clarify concepts, and improve disclosure completeness.

Challenge: IP teams often spend valuable time following up with inventors to clarify ideas, fill information gaps, or request additional technical context.
CPI’s Solution: Idea Foundry helps collect stronger information upfront, reducing repetitive follow-up and giving attorneys a more complete starting point.

Challenge: In a first-to-file environment, delays in invention capture and review can put filing priority at risk.
CPI’s Solution: Idea Foundry accelerates the path from raw idea to draft-ready disclosure, helping teams move faster toward filing decisions.

Challenge: IP teams need to understand prior art, claim strength, and related portfolio activity before deciding how to proceed.
CPI’s Solution: Idea Foundry provides patentability-focused insights, prior art intelligence, claim strength analysis, and similarity comparisons to support more informed review.

Challenge: Related invention disclosures may be submitted separately, creating redundancy and adding unnecessary review and filing effort.
CPI’s Solution: Idea Foundry identifies similar or overlapping disclosures and can recommend combining related ideas into a stronger, more efficient patent application.

Challenge: Review committees need more than technical summaries. They need to understand commercial value, portfolio fit, timing, risk, and competitive positioning.
CPI’s Solution: Idea Foundry provides strategic IP intelligence, including revenue alignment, market adoption potential, licensing opportunity assessment, and filing timeline guidance.
