SPECIFIO Partners with DRAFT BUILDERS to Provide a Premium US-Based Outsourced Patent Drafting Service
MARINA DEL REY, CA, Jan. 7, 2020 — The patent document automation company Specifio today announced a partnership with Draft Builders, an outsourced patent preparation platform. Draft Builders is not a law firm and does not file patent applications, but rather produces near-final draft patent applications for its customers’ filing counsel to review and finalize ahead of filing. “Draft Builders provides on-demand patent preparation capacity for corporate patent departments and law firms that is consistent, high-quality, and aggressively-priced,” says Ian Schick, CEO and founder. “At the same time, the platform provides an ad libitum way for qualified independent and law firm practitioners to monetize their own time and patent skills.”
The alliance between Specifio and Draft Builders marries an advanced technology layer with a network of vetted US-based registered patent practitioners. Each practitioner in the Draft Builders network is screened and must meet a set of minimum requirements. These prerequisites require that each practitioner (1) was trained at an elite general practice firm or major patent boutique, (2) has a certain experience level, and (3) meets personal prosecution performance metrics.
Draft Builders has licensed a suite of proprietary tools from Specifio that are deployed and operated by Draft Builders, thus saving both customers and network practitioners from the chores of procurement, implementation, training, maintenance, etc. Draft Builders assembles patent application documents using network-practitioner-drafted content, auto-generated content, and application templates generated to mimic nearly any specific document or the document styles associated with different law firms or assignees.
“Draft Builders is filling an unmet need in the patent preparation market with a US-based option for premium and scalable outsourced patent preparation,” says Schick. The best drafters and the best technology gives Draft Builders an edge over other outsourcing options with superior quality, consistency, and value.
