A patent service where purpose-built AI does the analytical work, capturing the invention, reasoning over prior art, structuring claims, and monitoring the portfolio, and the service's own patent professionals review and file every application. Lightbringer is the AI-native patent service for tech companies: patents drafted with purpose-built AI, reviewed and filed by Lightbringer's own patent attorneys, for one flat fee per application. It differs from AI tools sold to law firms and from per-filing drafting services.

Neither alone, and that is the point. The Lightbringer platform is free software for invention disclosure, patentability checks, and portfolio tracking, and Lightbringer's own patent attorneys review, refine, and file every application. It replaces the traditional law firm relationship for patent work, though it is not a litigation firm: courtroom representation stays with a law firm.

A qualified patent attorney reviews, refines, and approves every application before it is filed, and each client is matched with the team member whose technical domain fits their technology. The AI does the heavy lifting; judgment, strategy, and sign-off stay with the attorney.

The Starter plan's $7,200 per patent application per year includes patent strategy, AI drafting, attorney review and filing, and prosecution to a decision on grant, including office action responses, with deadline and portfolio tracking in the platform. It excludes official fees charged by patent offices, which apply in every pricing model; most US startups qualify for 60% or 80% USPTO discounts, and Lightbringer files the certifications.

DeepIP, Patsnap, Patlytics, and Solve Intelligence are software sold to law firms and in-house IP teams to make their own attorneys faster; the founder still hires and pays a firm. Lightbringer sells the whole service directly to the company: purpose-built AI drafts, Lightbringer's own patent attorneys review and file, and one flat fee per application covers the journey to a decision on grant.

Yes. A USPTO-registered practitioner on the team files at the USPTO, European and UK filings run through Lightbringer's own European and UK patent attorneys, and international coverage runs via PCT.

The Lightbringer platform is free to use, including AI-driven invention disclosure, patentability checks, and portfolio tools, so there is nothing to trial against a clock. You pay a flat fee only when you file: $7,200 per patent application per year on the Starter plan, with official fees separate.
