Quickstart

Brief in. Provisional out. Six steps.

From a one-paragraph idea to an INPI-deposit-ready PDF/A in roughly the time a single cabinet IP analyst takes to read three patents.

  1. 1

    Sign up

    Create an account at /signup. Choose Founder, Scale, or Enterprise. Firebase handles auth — Google SSO or email/password, both work. Your first 100 credits are seeded automatically so you can run a research job before topping up.

  2. 2

    Submit your first brief

    Open app.ipzilla.app, click "New research", and paste a one-paragraph description of the molecule, formulation, or therapeutic concept you're scoping. The parser builds a structured DrugBrief and shows you a cost preview before any credit is spent.

  3. 3

    Receive landscape + FTO in ~8 min

    We plan a multi-strategy search, hit the 130M-patent Google Patents Public Datasets via BigQuery, dedupe families, rerank the top-K with Gemini, fetch claims via USPTO PEDS / EPO OPS, run claim-reading per patent, and emit element-wise FTO verdicts. Progress streams to the dashboard subtask-by-subtask — no spinner-of-doom.

  4. 4

    Review the lattice

    When CIL ships, every claim in the candidate landscape is enumerated across six axes (literal, DOE, Markush, jurisdiction, era, prosecution history) and scored against the prior art. You see a vulnerability heatmap; the optimiser proposes the wording that maximises cross-juris robustness. CIL is currently in MVP — early-access for Scale and Enterprise tiers.

  5. 5

    Approve the doctrine-hardened claim

    Doctrinal Hardening wraps the optimal claim in the cascade-4-couches: functional genus → structural Markush → preferred ranges → picture claim with watermarked ratios (e.g. 39.84% / 60.16%, drawn from your model). Plausibility statements for G 2/21 are inserted into Field and Summary; structural anchors are doubled for §112 Amgen. You review, edit, sign off.

  6. 6

    Download the PROV-INPI-ready PDF

    One click renders an A4 PDF/A on a Garamond grey-desk template, with running headers, section numbering, a self-watermarked cover, and the IDS / inventor declaration / chain-of-title forms pre-filled. Upload it to the INPI portal, pay the 26 € (or 13 € reduced) e-fee, and your priority date is locked. Export also ships as a self-contained ZIP for archival.

Example brief

What we expect on POST /research/start

The brief field is free text — the parser handles unstructured input — but the more structure you provide, the tighter the search. Below is a representative payload for a deep scan.

json
{
  "brief": "Amorphous solid dispersion of indomethacin in PVPVA copolymer, targeting enhanced oral bioavailability via Tg suppression and Flory-Huggins χ < 0.5. Spray-drying with mannitol as plasticiser. Polymer:API ratio 35–65% (preferred 39.84%). Indication: acute musculoskeletal pain.",
  "jurisdictions": ["US", "EP", "JP", "CN"],
  "depth": "deep_scan",
  "max_patents": 250
