Tradespace
What it is
Tradespace combines IP management software, AI, and on-demand patent attorneys for teams working to capture inventions, file patents, manage portfolios, and commercialize intellectual property. Its AI can turn inventor materials such as slides, notes, diagrams, and audio into disclosure packages and assist with patentability and prior-art evaluation. Patent drafting includes AI assistance, attorney review, source traceability, and approval checkpoints. Portfolio features cover docketing, annuity tracking, portfolio analytics, and links between patents, products, and business goals. The platform can identify potential licensing partners and prepare licensing materials and target summaries. Slack, Gmail, and Notion are named integrations; APIs and connectors support CRM, CLM, ERP, and other IP systems. Tradespace says each customer receives a separate private AI model and customer data is not used for model training without written consent. Data at rest uses AES-256 encryption. The platform is cloud-based with API access. Two patent applications are free under the drafting plan, followed by $149 per application; subscription pricing is separate and available on request.
