You built something clever with Cursor or Claude. Will it survive a patent examiner? Patent PreCheck is a free, keyless patentability read on your code in about 60 seconds: USPTO pillar scores (eligibility, novelty, nonobviousness), prior art matches, and the pillar holding you back. Web app, hosted MCP at patentprecheck.com/mcp, or npx in CI. Triage before counsel. Not legal advice.

Hi Developer friends, I'm Kevin, the developer of Patent PreCheck. The spark: I had a conversation with an IP attorney about patenting an idea and some code I created. I learned that any idea simply fed into an AI chat that generates code is not patentable. As I dug deeper into patentability, I realized everyone is a software developer now, and likely wants to find out if what they built is patentable. I also realized that I, like most people who come up with great ideas, need help guiding them to improve their ideas/code, etc., so I built an interactive code tool that helps improve your code along the way, and shows you updated scores. What would take weeks or months now takes less than 60 seconds, and we will help you improve your code so it's in much better shape to give to your attorney or file it yourself. Guided filing is coming soon, but we aren't attorneys, and it is always recommended to engage a good one. We will get you most of the way, saving you time and money. Patent PreCheck is the check I wished existed at the moment you finish the clever part, and you can even use it inside Cursor, Claude, or your CI pipeline: • Free, keyless — no account, no USPTO API keys • Hosted MCP at patentprecheck.com/mcp (just a URL in your config) • Scores §101/§102/§103 + §112 filing readiness with enforced per-pillar floors • Surfaces prior art matches so you know what's closest before you talk to counsel Try the fastest path: → https://patentprecheck.com/analyze (web) → https://patentprecheck.com/integ... (MCP one-liner) I'd love feedback on: 1. Does the band/rubric feel honest for software you've built? 2. Is the MCP ergonomics right for how you actually work? 3. What would make you trust this enough to share with a co-founder? Happy to answer any questions about scoring, AI inventorship, or feedback to make this tool more effective for people like us. Cheers, Kevin

I used this website to check if my code could potentially be patented based on USPTO criteria, and I was honestly impressed.

The platform doesn’t just give a yes/no answer. It runs your code through multiple factors and gives you a patentability score with a clear dashboard breakdown. Each section shows where your submission is strong and where it’s weak.

What I liked most:
- Actionable dashboard: Instead of vague legal jargon, it points out specific gaps and tells you exactly what details to add to improve your score.
- USPTO-based analysis: It references actual USPTO guidelines, so the feedback feels grounded, not generic.
- Iterative improvement: You can keep updating sections and watch your score go up. Super helpful if you’re preparing a provisional application.

It’s not a substitute for a patent attorney, but as a first-pass tool it saves a ton of time and money. If you’re a developer or startup founder trying to figure out if your code is even worth patenting, this is worth trying.

This site actually helps you fix your patent application

I uploaded my code to see if it could be patented and the site gave me a score + dashboard showing exactly what was missing.

It’s based on USPTO standards so the feedback felt legit. The best part is it tells you what to add to each section to improve your score, so you’re not just guessing.

Great tool if you want a reality check before talking to a lawyer. Would use again.
