Faster first-pass IP decisions, on evidence.
The hardest part of patenting isn’t the filing — it’s deciding what’s worth filing in the first place. Patentopia gives technology transfer offices, in-house IP teams, and patent professionals a structured, citation-backed patentability assessment in minutes, so that decision rests on the prior art rather than on who had time to look.
Born from experience
Patentopia started with a problem its founders had lived: the first patentability opinion is slow and expensive, yet it’s the step that decides everything downstream. Universities sit on disclosures they can’t all afford to assess. In-house teams filing dozens of patents a year queue behind the same first read.
So we built the assessment that comes before the attorney — one that runs in minutes, shows its reasoning, and cites its sources, so the people who decide what to file can do it on evidence instead of intuition.
A first-pass opinion every IP team can trust
Assess more, waste less
Most disclosures never get a proper first read because the time and budget aren’t there. We make that read fast and cheap enough to run on every one, so attention and counsel go to the cases that earn it.
Reasoning you can check
A patentability call is only as good as the evidence behind it. Every assessment cites its prior art, maps novelty feature by feature, and walks through the EPC problem-solution approach in full — open to scrutiny, not hidden behind a score.
The aim is narrow and practical: make the first patentability decision faster, cheaper, and more consistent for the teams who make it every week.
Seasoned founders, deep expertise

The mind behind the idea. An IP professional with a Ph.D in Applied Physics (DTU), he holds several patents, has built IP-heavy businesses, and monetises IP through DTU’s Technology Transfer office. Sets the methodology so the assessment holds up to a patent professional’s scrutiny.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Patentopia?
Patentopia is an AI patent-intelligence platform that produces a structured first-pass patentability assessment — novelty, inventive step, and claim strategy — in minutes instead of weeks. It sits at the front of your IP workflow, before attorney hours and filing fees.
Who is Patentopia for?
Three groups: technology transfer offices at technical universities, organisations filing more than ten patents a year, and patent consultants and attorneys. In each case the job is the same — judge a disclosure on the evidence before committing budget to it.
What makes Patentopia different from other patent search tools?
It shows its work. Instead of a single black-box score, you get a per-feature novelty matrix with document locations, an EPC problem-solution walkthrough, and editable claim amendments — so an IP professional can verify the reasoning and the citations rather than trust them.
How does Patentopia fit alongside our attorneys?
It does the first pass, not the filing. The assessment standardizes triage so the cases worth protecting reach counsel with prior art already cited, and the rest get a clear, evidenced answer. Your attorneys review and refine — they start from a draft, not a blank page.
