Show HN: Patty, Find Patents Instantly

https://f721ad1b01e9.ngrok-free.app/
1•zach_moore•2h ago
Hey everybody my name is Zach.

I'm broke so I can't hire a patent lawyer but I still want to file a patent for my startup. So I built a tool that does does the existing patent research for me. I know you're not supposed to name them but I ended up calling it Patty.

It's pretty simple, you just enter the name of your invention and a patent description will be generated for you, or you can input your provisional patent draft. Then from that description, it generates key terms and does a patent search from every patent in the USPTO database in about 30 seconds.

For now, feel free to use it as much as you like. It's best on Desktop and does not work well on mobile devices.

No descriptions or invention ideas are stored on the server, those fields are only used to generate relevant key terms for doing the database search.

I'll probably keep building this and I'm open to any ideas as well as open to high-quality feedback. You can email me at zacharymichaelmoore@gmail.com
