PatentNexus & Zach Hammad

The Problem

Filing a patent starts with a simple question: has someone already done this? But answering it typically costs $5,000–$15,000 in attorney fees and takes weeks. Most inventors skip this step entirely — and either waste money filing on prior art or miss the window to protect a genuinely novel idea.

What PatentNexus Does

PatentNexus analyzes your invention description against 166 million worldwide patents and delivers a structured patentability report in minutes. Six sections: executive summary, technology classification, prior art analysis, patent landscape, novelty assessment, and claim suggestions. Starting at $249 — not $15,000.

Built By
