These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of Patenir, including any web application, dashboard, APIs, software, content, outputs, and related services made available through the platform (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
The Service is a software platform designed to help users convert user-provided invention disclosures and related inputs into draft patent-application-style materials, including without limitation draft specifications, claims, figures, summaries, and related filing-oriented content. The Service is a drafting and formatting assistance tool only. It is not a law firm, is not a substitute for professional legal judgment, and does not provide legal advice.
No attorney-client relationship is created by your use of the Service. Your use of the Service, receipt of any generated content, or communication with the platform does not create any fiduciary, advisory, or attorney-client relationship.
You represent that you are legally able to enter into these Terms and to use the Service. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity occurring under your account. You must provide accurate information and keep it reasonably current.
As between you and Patenir, you retain ownership of the invention disclosures, documents, text, files, images, figures, prompts, instructions, metadata, and other materials you upload, submit, or generate through your use of the Service ("User Data"), to the extent you own or control such rights.
Patenir does not claim ownership of your User Data. You grant Patenir only the limited rights necessary to host, process, transmit, store, display, format, reproduce, and otherwise use your User Data solely to operate, maintain, secure, improve the functionality of, and provide the Service to you.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that you have all rights and permissions necessary to submit User Data to the Service and to request generation of outputs from that User Data.
You control your tasks and associated User Data within the Service. If you delete a task, Patenir will delete the task data and associated platform-stored data linked to that task from its active systems, subject to any limited retention required for security, fraud prevention, backup cycling, legal compliance, or dispute resolution.
You understand that deletion from backups and disaster-recovery systems may not be immediate, but Patenir will not continue to use deleted task data for active service delivery once the deletion request has been processed.
The Service may transmit portions of your User Data to third-party model providers in order to generate outputs requested by you. Patenir currently uses paid model APIs from third-party providers such as OpenAI and Google Gemini.
According to OpenAI's published API data controls, data sent through the OpenAI API is not used to train or improve OpenAI models by default unless the customer explicitly opts in, and OpenAI also publishes separate retention-control information for eligible API use cases. According to Google's published Gemini API materials, when Paid Services are used, Google states that prompts and responses are not used to improve Google's products, and Google separately documents zero-data-retention options for certain Gemini API usage. These practices are governed by the applicable third-party provider's then-current terms and policies, not by Patenir. Patenir does not control and cannot independently guarantee third-party provider behavior beyond what those providers publish and contractually provide.
The Service uses machine learning and large language model systems to generate draft outputs. Because of the nature of those systems, generated outputs may contain hallucinations, omissions, formatting defects, legal errors, factual inaccuracies, inconsistent terminology, unsupported assumptions, or other defects.
All outputs are provided for drafting assistance and reference purposes only. You are solely responsible for reviewing, validating, editing, and approving any output before relying on it, sharing it, filing it, or using it in connection with any legal right, deadline, or application.
Without limiting the foregoing, any claims generated by the Service are illustrative drafting output only and do not represent a guarantee of optimal legal scope, enforceability, patentability, validity, or freedom to operate.
Patent rights can be lost, limited, or materially impaired through drafting errors, omitted subject matter, premature disclosure, missed deadlines, improper claim scope, or inaccurate filings. You are strongly encouraged to obtain review by a qualified patent attorney or other appropriate professional before filing or relying on any output generated by the Service.
Patenir does not warrant that any output:
The Service may generate content in a patent-application format, but formatted output is not the same as legal sufficiency.
Patenir will use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect User Data against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no internet-based or cloud-based system can be guaranteed to be fully secure. You acknowledge and accept the inherent risks of transmitting information electronically and using third-party infrastructure providers.
You should not use the Service if your use case requires guarantees of absolute secrecy or absolute immunity from cybersecurity risk.
You may not use the Service:
Certain features may require payment, credits, or usage-based charges. Credits, if offered, are consumed when platform-defined drafting or generation actions are initiated. Unless otherwise stated, credits are non-refundable once consumed for a completed or substantially completed generation request. Patenir may suspend or modify pricing, credits, or feature access on a prospective basis.
If a generation request fails due solely to a platform-side technical error before meaningful output is produced, Patenir may, in its discretion, restore or refund the affected credit or usage amount.
Patenir may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time, with or without notice. The Service may experience downtime, delays, outages, or degraded performance. Patenir is not liable for any inability to access the Service or for any loss allegedly resulting from downtime, latency, or service interruption.
The Service itself, including its software, interface design, workflows, prompts, platform features, branding, and non-user-facing materials, is owned by Patenir or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. Except for the limited right to use the Service under these Terms, no license or ownership right is granted to you.
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PATENIR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR SECURE.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PATENIR AND ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF CONFIDENTIALITY, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF PATENT RIGHTS, LOSS OF PRIORITY, LOSS OF FILING RIGHTS, OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE SERVICES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF PATENIR FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO PATENIR FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) US$100.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Patenir and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, contractors, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to your User Data, your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
Patenir may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time if it reasonably believes you have violated these Terms, created risk for the Service or others, or are using the Service unlawfully. You may stop using the Service at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive.
These Terms are governed by the laws of California, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in California, USA, and you consent to their jurisdiction and venue.
Patenir may update these Terms from time to time. The updated version becomes effective when posted, unless otherwise stated. Your continued use of the Service after updated Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
