What it is
Simple IP is a cloud workspace for managing and monitoring intellectual property portfolios, with tools focused on patents. Its search covers more than 165 million patents worldwide and organizes matching filings by patent family. Portfolio views show families, legal status, and events across more than 80 offices. The service scans competitors monthly and reports activity, publications, and what they are building. Smart File Upload uses AI to attach documents to the relevant patent; users can also send files by email and search documents. The Inventions feature helps draft invention disclosures and assess prior art, with drafts available to send to Dennemeyer or a preferred attorney for advice or filing. Simple IP is presented for startups, growing companies, universities, accelerators, and incubators. The Free plan is free, with no credit card required. The maker says it does not use customer data to train its AI models and states that the service is GDPR compliant. Its privacy policy describes TLS protection for information in transit.
