How to evaluate an AI patent drafting tool.
Every AI tool can produce text that reads like a patent. These seven tests show whether you could file what it gives you. Run them on any product, including ours.
- 1
Trace a claim limitation
Pick any limitation in a generated claim and ask where it came from. A tool you can rely on shows the disclosure passage or inventor answer behind it. Fluent text without an origin is the failure mode that matters most.
Where ClaimMark-P stands: Every claim element, specification paragraph and figure links to the invention-record passage, inventor answer or cited reference it rests on.
- 2
Change a fact upstream
Edit one fact in the disclosure or one claim. Does the tool tell you which claims, paragraphs, figures and reviews no longer agree, or does the draft silently drift?
Where ClaimMark-P stands: Sections, figures and quality reviews that fell behind are marked behind or stale, by name.
- 3
Check §112 support
For each claim term, look for written-description support and antecedent basis. Ask whether the tool shows you where the support is, or only asserts that it exists.
Where ClaimMark-P stands: Terminology, antecedent-basis and §112 checkpoints surface issues as decisions for the attorney, not as a single score.
- 4
Audit every citation in an Office Action response
Open each passage the draft relies on. Does the reference say what the argument claims? Are the examiner's own pin cites preserved?
Where ClaimMark-P stands: Cited references are pulled and each claim element is mapped to the column and line of the art, with a visible mapping confidence.
- 5
Know where it is uncertain
Every model is sometimes unsure. The question is whether the tool tells you where, so your review time goes to the right places.
Where ClaimMark-P stands: The document reading is measured (none of 3,478 numbers and pin cites misread across nine real Office Actions), and where the model's interpretation is less certain the draft says so.
- 6
Ask where client data goes
Training, retention, subprocessors and location. Get the answers in writing before an unpublished invention goes in.
Where ClaimMark-P stands: Published no-training terms and zero-data-retention arrangements with every model provider; data encrypted on AWS in the United States; a security package on request.
- 7
Read the export
Open the Word file. Is it a clean, editable document you would hand to a colleague, or text you still have to assemble?
Where ClaimMark-P stands: A formatted, editable DOCX package. The attorney edits, signs and files.
Then compare on the record.
Our comparison page lists what each AI patent tool says about itself, with sources, so you can check the claims rather than take ours. ClaimMark-P launches for software, AI, cloud, cybersecurity and data-processing inventions.
