Inspiration

When I was a highschool junior and trying to file a patent for a device I made for a state science fair, I had no clue how to even start. The whole process is murky, and the best that websites do in guidance is "find a patent lawyer"; however, patent lawyers are expensive and costs thousands of dollars. That is why I researched the patent process and simplified it into the core basics steps to get a framework to start a patent.

What it does

With just a few simple inputs, including product specifications, dimensions, and an overview, this patent generator can create a title, abstract, claim, item description, concept drawings, and included is a bot which helps to answer questions. Although it does not do everything in a patent, like making the drawings, and sometimes it is inaccurate, it can serve as a basic framework to build off.

How we built it

I first started building this app with the text boxes. I wanted to keep it simple and so I decided only to ask for item description and item specifications. After that, I experimented with prompts to create an abstract and patent description that I believed could serve as a basic framework for an actual abstract and patent description. Based on those two descriptions, the claims and the concept drawings are generated.

Challenges we ran into

The concept drawings were very hard to make somewhat realistic and accurate. Although Stable Diffusion is a very good image generator, it is not very good at making technical drawings. I experimented with the prompts for over an hour before I was able to make a drawing that was semi-realistic; however, I was unable to make it make a true patent drawing based off the description.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I'm proud that this project was able to create the basic framework for a patent. I came in with expectations to only make a basic abstract and title, I was able to make the other text work by using the right prompts. This was my first project using Party Rock, and it was a fun and neat tool to use.

What we learned

I learned how to use PartyRock. It is a unique tool, and it does hold value as a prototyping software and maybe even in the future an actual app. I also had to study up on the patent process to make this app, and I had to make sure the AI prompts that I put met the patent specification.

What's next for PatentScribe

I will continue updating it as I figure out better ways to generate better abstracts, descriptions, and images. I am also planning to make it into a full app or website that can be used to quickly make an outline for a patent.
