AI Solutions for IP & Patent Offices

Zanus AI runs 100% on-premises — all patent claims, invention disclosures, trade secrets, and prosecution files are processed on hardware physically inside your office. No data is ever sent to external servers, cloud platforms, or third-party APIs.

The system supports air-gapped deployment for maximum security, preserving attorney-client privilege and meeting the strictest trade secret protection standards. Full access logging and audit trails are generated automatically.

Yes. Zanus AI includes a built-in Precision Vector Store that indexes your uploaded patent libraries, internal prior art databases, technical publications, and invention disclosures. The AI searches across all uploaded references to surface relevant prior art, flag potential anticipation issues, and generate structured prior art reports — all processed locally without sending sensitive search queries to external databases.

Zanus AI generates initial patent claims, specification sections, abstracts, and office action responses using your firm's templates, claim language conventions, and prosecution strategies. The AI learns your drafting style, maintains consistent terminology across patent families, and produces structured outputs that patent attorneys can review, refine, and file — reducing drafting time from hours to minutes per application.

Zanus AI provides full API connectivity to integrate with:

• USPTO PAIR and EFS-Web
• EPO Online Filing
• WIPO ePCT
• IPfolio, Anaqua, and CPA Global
• Major docketing systems

The system receives incoming data from these platforms, processes it locally, and can push results back — all without exposing confidential IP data to third-party cloud services.

Zanus AI streamlines the entire invention disclosure pipeline — from AI-assisted disclosure forms that guide inventors through structured submissions, to automatic novelty pre-screening against your existing portfolio, inventor communication tracking, disclosure committee review workflows, and disclosure-to-filing pipeline management. All invention data stays on-premises with complete audit trails.

Zanus AI includes a dedicated trade secret vault with AI-powered classification, access logging, and need-to-know access controls. The system automatically documents reasonable protective measures — a critical requirement for trade secret litigation. Every access event is logged with timestamps, user IDs, and action types, creating defensible audit trails.

No. Zanus AI is designed for IP professionals, not IT departments. The server arrives pre-configured — setup involves plugging it into your network (one Ethernet cable), creating a login, and uploading your patent documents through a simple drag-and-drop interface. The Zanus onboarding team walks your office administrator or managing partner through the entire process. If you can send an email, you can use Zanus AI.

Zanus AI is a one-time purchase. IP offices typically spend $5,000–$25,000 per month on stacked cloud subscriptions (docketing systems, prior art search tools, patent analytics platforms, AI drafting tools, collaboration software, compliance tools). Over 12 months, that's $60,000–$300,000.

Zanus AI replaces the majority of those tools with a single investment — no recurring fees, no per-user charges, and no token limits. Most IP offices recoup the cost within 3–6 months through eliminated subscriptions alone. Request a demo for exact pricing based on your needs.

Most IP offices are fully operational within 3–5 business days. Hardware setup takes about 30 minutes. The Zanus onboarding team then helps you upload your patent documents, configure modules for your prosecution workflows, and train your team. All 15+ modules are available from Day 1.

Absolutely. Zanus AI includes a built-in Precision Vector Store — a private knowledge base engine. You upload your patent specifications, prosecution histories, claim templates, office action response strategies, inventor guidelines, and any other IP documents. The AI indexes them locally and uses YOUR information to answer questions, generate documents, and automate workflows.

The best AI solution for IP and patent offices in 2026 is one that eliminates recurring subscription fees, protects privileged patent data on-premises in support of attorney-client privilege and GDPR compliance, and includes all the AI tools an IP practice needs in a single platform.

Zanus AI meets all three criteria — it ships as a physical server with 15+ built-in IP modules (prior art search, patent drafting, docketing, portfolio analytics, trade secret vault, and more), charges no monthly fees, and runs 100% inside your office with no cloud dependency. Unlike cloud AI tools that charge per user and risk waiving privilege by sending data to external servers, Zanus AI is a one-time investment that the firm owns outright.

Unlimited. There are no per-seat fees and no user limits. Every member of your IP office — partners, associates, patent agents, paralegals, technology transfer officers, and administrative staff — can access the system simultaneously. Role-based access control lets you define exactly what each user can see and do.

En muchos casos, sí. En Estados Unidos, las compras de equipos empresariales, como un Zanus AI , pueden acogerse a una deducción total en virtud del artículo 179 del IRS, lo que permite a su empresa amortizar el coste íntegro en el año de la compra, en lugar de amortizarlo a lo largo de varios años.

Muchos otros países ofrecen incentivos similares en materia de gastos de capital para las inversiones tecnológicas de las empresas. Consulte a su contable o asesor fiscal para obtener información específica sobre su situación, pero la estructura de compra única de Zanus AI diseñada para aprovechar al máximo esta ventaja, en comparación con las suscripciones mensuales a servicios SaaS no deducibles, que no ofrecen ningún valor de activo fiscal.
