What Attorneys Say
Trusted by IP counsel.
The claim mapping was exactly what I needed to structure the opinion. Element-by-element, risk-tiered, with design-around flags I hadn't considered. Cut my drafting time in half.

I've used larger search firms. Patentio is faster, better structured, and noticeably cheaper. The debrief call alone is worth it — the searcher actually understands the technology.

Automotive Company · Detroit, MI
Turned around a semiconductor FTO in 8 business days — thorough CN and JP coverage, continuations flagged, legal status verified. Exactly what our client needed before their Series B.

Semiconductor Company · Shenzhen, China
The NPL coverage is genuinely different. They caught a 2016 IEEE paper that no other firm had surfaced. Changed how we drafted the independent claims entirely.
IP

Fixed fee, confirmed before we commit, and they've never once come back to renegotiate. For a boutique practice like ours, that predictability is everything.
IP

Pharma FTO with EP and CN coverage. They caught three utility models in the Chinese family that would have been a significant problem. Exceptional work.
