About

PRC-qualified patent practitioner and lawyer with twenty years of practice; previously practised patent prosecution and litigation at Jones Day, Rouse, Wilkinson & Grist and King & Wood Mallesons. Founder of Invention Village (thesmartpatent.com), an AI patent tool for R&D teams: screen a product for patent risk before launch, then turn real R&D into a first-draft patent application for a patent attorney to review. It grounds its output in real patent search results (about 51 million Chinese and US patents) and marks anything it cannot support instead of inventing it. Not legal advice.

Invention Village - AI FTO screening and patent drafts for R&D teams

Invention Village is an AI patent tool for R&D teams. Screen a product for patent risk in your target markets before launch, then turn your real R&D into a complete first-draft patent application for a patent attorney to review. Not legal advice. Patent numbers come only from real search results, and missing values stay as marked placeholders instead of being invented.
