For IP attorneys & in-house counsel
Stop waiting for engineers to tell you what they invented.
ALID reads the engineering work attorneys already have access to, including GitHub, Jira, and internal documents, and surfaces patentable invention candidates with confidence scores and source citations.
The disclosure process asks the wrong person to lead it.
Engineers don’t know when they’ve invented something patentable. Attorneys do, but the standard process leaves attorneys waiting passively for engineers to self-report. The result is missed filings, blindsided audits, and a backlog of inventions no one ever sees.
ALID inverts the process. The attorney becomes the discoverer. The engineer becomes a reviewer of the AI’s conclusions, not the source of them.
Three things that change the moment you connect ALID
Attorneys own this
Stop waiting for engineers to recognize what they built. ALID puts the discovery process in the attorney’s hands, where it always belonged.
Engineers change nothing
No new tools, no new meetings, no self-reporting. ALID reads the GitHub commits and Jira tickets your engineers already write.
One step, not an overhaul
Connect once and ALID surfaces invention candidates with source citations and a draft disclosure attached. The first step in your existing workflow becomes systematic.
Who ALID is for
In-house IP counsel
You’re evaluated on patents filed but you have no systematic way to surface what your engineers are actually building. ALID gives you a queue of substantiated candidates pulled from your team’s own GitHub and Jira, no engineer self-reporting required.
IP law firm partners and senior associates
Your tech clients are inventing faster than they can describe what they’ve done. Connect ALID to a client’s engineering stack and arrive at every invention meeting with the work already drafted.
From engineering artifact to draft disclosure, in seven stages
- Attorneys see the engineering record directly, not a filtered version engineers chose to share. Nothing depends on engineers remembering to flag what they built or recognizing it as patentable in the first place.
- Design docs, PRDs, and meeting notes that never make it into a structured ticket still feed the analysis. The corpus matches what your engineers actually produce — not just the slice that lives in a tracker.
- When several engineers describe the same invention in different words across commits, tickets, and docs, ALID consolidates them into a single cluster. Your review queue surfaces inventions, not noise.
- You see the highest-signal candidates first. Routine work — bug fixes, refactors, dependency upgrades, formatting changes — is filtered out before it ever reaches your queue, so review time goes to the work that might actually be patentable.
- A single complex feature often contains multiple distinct inventions. ALID separates them so each candidate can be evaluated, claimed, and filed on its own merits — rather than being lost inside a larger description.
- The first draft is written before you walk into the inventor meeting. The conversation shifts from "tell me what you did" to "confirm or correct what we found" — a far more efficient use of engineer time and a far more accurate record of the invention.
- Every claim is grounded in a specific commit, ticket, or document — clickable and auditable. Nothing in your queue is unattributed, so attorney review can focus on legal judgment rather than re-establishing where each fact came from.
