Inventor Engagement
Engineering teams have great ideas but zero culture of IP engagement. ArcPrime makes invention capture effortless—inventors submit ideas by email, and AI handles the rest.
Common Challenges
Zero IP culture in engineering
Engineers see patents as legal busywork. There is no culture of IP engagement, no incentive to participate, and no easy way to submit ideas without filling out lengthy forms.
Disclosure bandwidth bottleneck
IP teams receive 20+ disclosures per month but lack the bandwidth to review, qualify, and process them all. Good ideas die in a backlog no one has time to clear.
Friction kills participation
Invention disclosure forms are long, confusing, and designed for patent attorneys—not engineers. Every field that requires legal knowledge is a point where inventors abandon the process.
No relationship with inventors
IP teams struggle to build ongoing relationships with engineering. Inventors submit one disclosure, never hear back, and stop participating.
Key Features
Email Alias Submission
Inventors submit ideas by forwarding documents, design specs, or a quick description to an email alias. No forms, no portals, no friction.
AI Auto-Fill Disclosures
AI reads submitted documents and auto-fills the invention disclosure form—extracting the technical problem, solution, advantages, and prior art considerations automatically.
AI-Generated Sample Claims
For each submitted idea, AI generates sample patent claims so inventors and IP teams can immediately see the potential scope of protection.
Idea Categorization & Scoring
AI categorizes incoming ideas by technology area and scores them on novelty, business relevance, and patentability—so the IP team can prioritize the best ideas first.
Meeting Bot for Disclosures
An AI meeting bot joins invention disclosure meetings, captures the discussion, and generates a structured disclosure from the conversation. Inventors just talk.
AI-Generated Inventor Questions
AI generates tailored follow-up questions for each submission, guiding inventors to provide the specific technical details the IP team needs without back-and-forth emails.
How It Works
Inventor Submits an Idea
Forward a document, paste a description into an email, or have the meeting bot capture a disclosure meeting. Any format works.
AI Builds the Disclosure
ArcPrime auto-fills the invention disclosure form, generates sample claims, and produces targeted follow-up questions for the inventor.
IP Team Triages & Scores
Review AI-categorized and scored ideas in a prioritized queue. Focus bandwidth on high-potential disclosures instead of processing everything equally.
Close the Loop with Inventors
Automated status updates keep inventors informed. Positive feedback loops encourage repeat submissions and build a real IP culture over time.
