PatentOpus: AI-powered patent applications for $549 (vs $5K-8K)

Hi Product Hunt! I'm Dave, the founder of PatentOpus. I've been a patent practitioner for 17 years. I've filed hundreds of patent applications across every technical field — biotech, software, medical devices, mechanical engineering, you name it. The dirty secret of the patent industry: provisional patents are EXPENSIVE for no good reason. A provisional patent application takes 15-20 hours of attorney time. At $400/hour, that's $6,000-8,000. But here's the thing: most of that time is spent drafting — converting your invention description into patent-speak. I built PatentOpus to solve this: 1. You describe your invention in plain English 2. Our AI (trained on the most valuable patents that survived litigation) drafts a complete application instantly 3. A USPTO-registered practitioner reviews it, strengthens your claims, ensures it meets all legal requirements 4. We file it with the USPTO 5. You get patent pending status in days, not weeks Total cost: $549 + USPTO fees. This isn't a template service. This isn't LegalZoom. The AI actually understands your invention and drafts real patent claims. Then a real practitioner makes sure it's bulletproof. I'm here all day to answer questions about: - How the AI works - The patent process - Why patents cost so much - How we keep prices low - Anything else! AMA!
