For founders raising seed to exit
Build the patent moat your next round is missing.
SlingIP reads your specs, R&D memos, technical docs, and pitch deck and hands you a ranked inventory of patentable inventions — prior-art checked, in the language your attorney files from.
- Ranked invention inventory
- Prior-art checked
- Counsel-ready claim drafts
90 founder-minutes in. A defensible IP narrative out.

How it works
From repository to filing — three steps.
Upload your docs
Drop in a pitch deck, system architecture diagrams, and technical docs. Your uploads stay in the workspace scoped to your engagement.
AI surfaces inventions
We extract 5–25 candidate inventions, score them against prior art, and triage by novelty, defensibility, and business value.
Hand your attorney the report
Your top candidates arrive prior-art checked with claim sketches — element-grounded, in the format counsel files from.
The deliverable
An Invention Value Assessment Portfolio, written in the language your attorney reads.
Awesome Co.
File a provisional on event-camera + LiDAR sensor fusion for sub-100ms obstacle detection within 45 days.
IP defensibility, quantified
A moat is only real if it stopped someone.
Through our partnership with Kudo & Associates, we're bringing their patented defensibility method to US portfolios — the method that turns “defensible IP” from a pitch-deck adjective into a number, computed monthly across every granted Japanese patent.

Count the attacks
Oppositions, invalidation attempts, and prior-art submissions competitors filed against a patent.
Weight by real money
What those attacks cost to mount, decayed for how old the technology is.
The number
A defensibility score grounded in the official record, not self-citation.
Strength scoring developed with Kudo & Associates (Tokyo), whose YKS patent-competitiveness methodology is patented (JP5273840B2) and recomputed monthly across all Japanese patents; its QK value index was co-developed with QUICK Corp., a Nikkei Group company. Third-party attack events — oppositions, invalidation trials, prior-art submissions — are cost-weighted with obsolescence decay; citation counts, including examiner citations, are excluded by design. Data from the methodology was used in a Bank of Japan working paper.
A score is a descriptive metric, not a legal or patentability opinion.
Defensibility history takes years to accrue — which is exactly why it can't be gamed. SlingIP maps the terrain around you today; as the method comes to US portfolios, yours inherits the benchmark as the record matures.

Confidentiality
Built for material you can’t afford to leak.
Patent material is the most sensitive data in a technical company. SlingIP treats it that way — with engagement-scoped access controls, no-training contracts, and a privilege-ready workflow.
Engagement-scoped at the database layer
Your source, specs, and decks live in a workspace scoped to your engagement. Row-level security is enforced on every query, server-side on your engagement's documents, candidates and outputs.
Zero training on your inventions
Your material is never used to train foundation models or to improve SlingIP for other customers. Contracts back this up in writing.
Structured for your counsel's review
SlingIP operates as a technical tool retained under your practitioner's direction — your counsel controls the record, and every artifact is structured for their review.
Audit trail on every artifact
Every disclosure, claim sketch, and prior-art citation is versioned and exportable. You own the record, and you can hand it to any outside counsel.
