One system, end to end
Preflight replaces the shared drives, spreadsheets, and email threads that hold your invention pipeline together — without asking anyone to change how they work.
Give inventors a guided form that captures what's novel, what's prior art, and what's confidential — with attachments, sketches, and inventor attestations baked in.
See every disclosure move through committee, drafting, and review on one live timeline. Missed deadlines light up before they become a problem.
Route each disclosure to the right committee, business owner, or outside counsel. Signatures, votes, and comments are captured in an auditable trail.
Attach searches, references, and examiner-friendly summaries directly to the disclosure so drafting counsel starts with everything they need.
When approvals close, Preflight assembles a filing packet — inventors, assignments, drawings, and a clean draft — ready for your docketing system.
Filter, sort, and slice your entire pre-filing pipeline by inventor, business unit, or deadline. Board-ready reports in two clicks.
The Preflight sequence
A structured, transparent path for every idea worth protecting.
Inventors submit disclosures through a guided form — with prompts for novelty, prior art, and public-use dates.
Your committee scores, discusses, and votes. Comments stay attached to the disclosure — no more scattered email chains.
Assign inside or outside counsel with a live deadline. Milestones and drafts are tracked automatically.
Route to inventors and business owners for sign-off. When done, hand off a docket-ready packet.
Built for every seat at the table
A single form, a clear status, and reminders when something needs you. No more wondering whether IP got your idea — or where it went.
Run the whole pre-filing pipeline from one board. Committee cycles, drafting deadlines, and approvals — all instrumented, all reportable.
Start every draft with clean inputs. Inventor answers, prior art, and approvals arrive structured — not stitched together from six email threads.
"We cut our disclosure-to-file cycle by more than half. The best part isn't the speed — it's that nothing falls through the cracks anymore."
