Our goal at Patent Bots is to turn patent attorneys into super patent attorneys. We know that parts of your job as a patent attorney are tedious and repetitive. We want to ease that pain so that your work is more enjoyable and so that you spend more time doing the work that counts — obtaining valuable patents for your clients!
First, we aim to provide the highest quality tools. We are experts in AI and machine learning, and we've built patent-specific, machine-learning models to better understand patent text. As Gen AI capabilities have advanced, we've also incorporated these models into our tools, with a focus on doing so the right way — ways that are useful and deliver real value, rather than hype, to our users. Our philosophy for AI and machine learning is smart, effective implementation of the technology to enhance the patent preparation and prosecution process. Furthermore, we work hard to create intuitive user interfaces that make it easy to use the tools and understand the results of our patent analysis.
Second, we listen to our customers and are constantly improving our products. We often deploy improvements and bug fixes just days after receiving feedback from users. We have simple website terms, completely transparent pricing, and we don't lock you in to products you don't need or long-term contracts.
Third, we offer very reasonable pricing. We appreciate the price pressures of patent legal work, and we set our prices so that you see an immediate return on investment. Our goal is to make money through market share and we don't overprice our products.
We look forward to having you as a customer. Please contact us at any time at 857-201-2211 or team@foopatentbots.com
