Patent drafting engineered for commercial value.

Patent drafting is the process of preparing a legal-technical document — the patent specification and claims — that defines an invention and the scope of legal protection sought from a patent office.

The quality of a patent draft directly determines its commercial value, enforceability, and ability to survive invalidity challenges. A poorly drafted patent may issue but fail to protect the invention that matters.

A complete specification includes the title, technical field, background, summary, brief description of drawings, detailed description with embodiments, claims, and an abstract.

A provisional secures a priority date with a technical description and typically no formal claims. A complete (non-provisional) specification includes fully drafted claims and must fully enable the invention.

Provisional applications are typically delivered in 5–7 business days. Complete specifications range from 2–3 weeks depending on invention complexity.

Fees depend on invention complexity, number of claims, and jurisdiction. Hashi offers transparent fixed-fee packages for provisionals, non-provisionals, PCTs, and office actions.

A claim is a single sentence that legally defines the boundary of protection. Claims can be independent (standalone) or dependent (referencing another claim to add limitations).

Independent claims stand alone and define the broadest scope. Dependent claims incorporate an independent claim and add limitations, providing fallback positions during prosecution and litigation.

Method claims protect a series of steps or actions. System (or apparatus) claims protect the physical or logical components performing the invention. Most inventions benefit from both.

Yes. We draft software and AI patents that satisfy 35 U.S.C. §101 (Alice/Mayo) in the US, technical-character requirements at the EPO, and Section 3(k) considerations for the Indian Patent Office.

Yes. Our AI-domain drafters cover LLMs, transformers, computer vision, generative AI, reinforcement learning, and MLOps, with claim strategies tuned to jurisdictional eligibility rules.

Yes. We prepare USPTO, EPO, and IPO-compliant drawings, flowcharts, block diagrams, and CAD renderings using Visio, Lucidchart, Adobe Illustrator, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD.

Yes. All figures follow 37 CFR §1.84 for USPTO filings and equivalent rules for EPO, PCT, and national offices.

Yes. We draft PCT specifications engineered for smooth national-phase entry into US, EP, IN, JP, CN, KR, and 40+ additional jurisdictions.

Yes. We prepare amendments, claim narrowings, and technical arguments for USPTO, EPO, IPO, JPO, CNIPA, and KIPO office actions, including RCEs, appeals, and examiner interviews.

An IDS is a USPTO filing that discloses prior art known to the applicant. Hashi prepares and maintains IDS filings across large portfolios to meet the duty of disclosure.

Yes. We prepare continuations, continuations-in-part (CIPs), and divisional applications to capture unclaimed embodiments and expand portfolio coverage.

A claim amendment modifies claim language during prosecution to address novelty, obviousness, or eligibility rejections while preserving meaningful scope.

Yes. We draft complete specifications under the Indian Patents Act, address Section 3 exclusions, and prepare Form 1, Form 2, Form 3, and Form 5.

Yes. We draft non-provisional and provisional applications compliant with 35 U.S.C. §101, §102, §103, and §112, and USPTO drawing standards.

Yes. We draft European applications using the problem-solution approach, two-part claim format, and technical-effect framing required by the EPC.

Yes. We offer startup-friendly fixed-fee packages, staged provisional-first strategies, and volume discounts for scale-ups building their first portfolios.

Yes. We work with technology transfer offices to protect research outputs, publications-linked inventions, and grant-funded innovations.

Yes. Every engagement begins with a mutual NDA. We are SOC 2 and ISO 27001 aligned with privileged-workflow protections.

Pure mathematics is generally excluded, but algorithms applied to a technical problem with a concrete technical effect are patentable in most jurisdictions when drafted correctly.

Pure business methods are generally not patentable in India and the EPO. In the US, business methods tied to a technical solution may be patentable with careful Alice/Mayo drafting.

Trained models, novel architectures, and inference techniques may be patentable when framed around technical effect and hardware/software integration.

There is no fixed number. Most jurisdictions include 15–20 claims within base fees. Excess claims incur additional fees; claim count should follow scope strategy, not filing economics.

A litigation doctrine that extends claim scope to insubstantially different embodiments. Careful drafting of the specification supports later equivalents arguments.

A claim format under 35 U.S.C. §112(f) that recites a function without structure, interpreted to cover the corresponding structure in the specification and its equivalents.

Enablement requires the specification to teach a person skilled in the art how to make and use the invention without undue experimentation. Weak enablement is a top cause of invalidation.

The specification must show that the inventor was in possession of the claimed invention. Broad claims without matching disclosure fail the written description requirement.

Yes. We draft SEP-quality applications for 3GPP, IEEE 802, ETSI, and JEDEC standards with claim-chart-ready embodiments.

Timelines vary — 18–36 months at the USPTO, 3–5 years at the EPO and IPO — depending on examination backlog, prosecution complexity, and expedited-examination options.

You may lose foreign rights but retain a 12-month US and Indian grace period. File as soon as possible; consult us to preserve remaining rights.

Our agentic AI accelerates prior art retrieval, claim consistency, embodiment expansion, and jurisdiction formatting. Qualified patent professionals author and sign every filing.

No. We use private-tenancy models and enterprise data-isolation controls. Client inventions never train shared foundation models.

Yes. Our IP Management and Licensing practice supports monetization, licensing negotiation, and portfolio valuation post-grant.
