June was a busy month for the Patentext team — in fact, I’m still in London after pitching live at LegalTechTalk (where Patentext was one of the 25 finalists for the LegalTech LaunchPad competition!)
While we didn’t win, it was a great opportunity to see where the legal tech space is headed and connect with other early-stage startups working on contracts, compliance, and more.
It was also clear from the event that the legal tech space is heating up, but is also starting to look increasingly homogenous. A lot of what I saw onstage followed a familiar formula: a ChatGPT-esque copilot on the right, a document on the left. Being surrounded by so many lookalike tools drove home just how different Patentext really is — from day one, we’ve built with a graph-based approach to structure, not just style.
More insights on LegalTechTalk 2025 coming soon. In the meantime, here’s what else we’ve been up to.
Personally, I’ve always found it frustrating when software companies gate everything behind a “book a demo” button. As a buyer, you’re committing 30 to 45 minutes to something that might not even be relevant, and that’s a big ask, especially early on.
So this month, we launched a fully self-serve product tour. It’s designed for anyone who’s curious about Patentext and wants to see how it works, how it fits into a patent workflow, and what makes it different from everything else out there. The tour walks through a real invention, so it’s not theoretical either. (You might even recognize the magnetic tessellating umbrella from a few other places on our site.)
If you’ve been interested in Patentext but want a bit more context before booking a live demo, you can take the self-guided product tour here.
Our team is growing quickly! Gisella Tan joined us as a Fractional CMO — she’s worked with brands like PayPal, Coursera, AdRoll, ZenBusiness, and Jotform, and helped scale content operations at multiple fast-moving SaaS startups. I’m excited to work with her to finesse our brand positioning, email, social, and product marketing efforts.
We’ve also hired a marketing intern and a QA engineer to support us as we scale.
No big product launches or updates this month, but behind the scenes, we’re continuing to deepen our graph data model, especially around invention structure and feature tracking.
We’re also actively designing for multi-modal inputs, which will be launching soon. The long-term vision: structured + unstructured + visual content that coherently feeds into invention graphs and patent outputs.
These updates will also allow us to support more drafting styles, especially highly requested workflows like claims-first or figures-first drafting. We’ll continue to retain our core concept-first approach — the way we draft ourselves — but this added flexibility means teams can start wherever they’re most comfortable and still benefit from the structure and context Patentext provides.
Technical updates will be coming in July, as well as a new credit-based pricing model. More to come on these soon.
If you’ve been following along but haven’t scheduled a demo yet, now’s a good time — early access is still open at $200/month (but not for long!). You’ll get full access to the tool, live support, and a direct line to our team as we keep building.
Until then, check out our brand new self-guided tour.
