Edge

Backed by Y Combinator, Edge combines large language model capabilities with deep IP domain expertise to help patent attorneys, agents, and in-house counsel draft higher-quality patent applications faster and with greater precision than traditional methods allow.

The patent drafting module is the centerpiece of the platform. Patent professionals can use Edge to generate complete application componentsclaims, detailed descriptions, background sections, and summariesfrom inventor disclosures.

The AI has been trained to understand the specific language conventions and claim construction strategies that define professional-quality patent drafts, producing outputs that are ready for attorney review rather than requiring extensive rewrites.

Edge's patent figure tooling is a standout capability. Users can generate editable flowcharts directly from text descriptions, work with block diagrams, add lead lines to elements, and track element naming consistency across an entire application.

The figure editor understands patent-specific conventions for figure referencing and description, integrating directly with the drafting workflow so that figures and written descriptions remain synchronized throughout the drafting process.

The disclosure intake module uses AI to efficiently parse inventor submissionswhether in the form of documents, slides, or rough notesand automatically structures them into clean, organized disclosure records within minutes.

This dramatically reduces the time IP professionals spend translating inventor communications into actionable patent strategy, and ensures no key technical detail is overlooked during the intake process.
