Unstructured inventor stories
Important facts arrive through scattered emails, calls, notes, and attachments instead of one consistent intake.
SmartProBonoIP
FOUNDING PARTNER PILOT
A focused 30-day SmartProBonoIP pilot
Spend less time rebuilding intake from zero
SmartProBonoIP turns unstructured inventor stories into organized, review-ready IP Readiness Packets before they reach your desk. We are selecting five IP professionals and organizations to help test and shape the professional workflow.
The intake problem
Good ideas often arrive before the inventor is ready
The first professional conversation should not have to begin with reconstructing the entire invention story.
Missing information
Professionals spend early conversations uncovering the problem, solution, variations, ownership, and supporting details.
Unpaid preparation time
Teams repeat basic intake work before they can decide what type of support or next conversation makes sense.
The pilot workflow
One referral link. One structured handoff. Real reviewer feedback.
Each founding partner can refer up to 10 inventors during the 30-day pilot.
1. Refer up to 10 inventors
Share a tracked pilot link with inventors, founders, creators, or small businesses that need help organizing an early-stage idea.
2. SmartProBonoIP guides the intake
The platform structures the inventor story, surfaces missing information, and organizes supporting details without providing legal advice.
3. Receive an organized packet
The inventor can bring a clear IP Readiness Packet into the next professional, clinic, mentor, or program conversation.
4. Shape the professional workflow
You review selected packets and tell us what was useful, what was missing, and what would make the handoff more valuable.
Who the pilot is for
Built with the people who already support inventors
We are prioritizing Rhode Island professionals and organizations for the founding pilot.
- Patent agents and patent attorneys
- Small intellectual property firms
- University innovation and entrepreneurship programs
- Legal clinics and pro bono programs
- Incubators, accelerators, and inventor support organizations
What we will measure
Proof before expansion
The pilot is designed to answer one question: does a SmartProBonoIP packet create a better prepared inventor and a more useful professional handoff?
- Inventor intake completion
- Packet usefulness to the reviewer
- Missing-information reduction
- Professional preparation time saved
- Readiness for the next conversation
- Repeat referrals from pilot partners
Clear boundaries
Preparation support, not legal conclusions
Important
SmartProBonoIP supports the intake before expert review
The platform helps users organize their own information and prepare questions. It does not provide legal advice, representation, patentability opinions, clearance opinions, filing services, or replace a licensed attorney or registered patent practitioner.
Educational readiness tool. Preparation only — not legal advice.
