Terrifio makes Markr, a dedicated virtual patent marking (VPM) automation platform. Automates the process of publishing and maintaining patent-to-product associations online for compliance with 35 U.S.C. § 287(a) under the America Invents Act. Without proper marking, courts have barred patent owners from recovering pre-notice infringement damages (NBER working paper, 2018, documents low VPM adoption despite legal benefits). Founded 2019 in London by Jim Gastle (25 years registered patent attorney). 2-person team, unfunded. Pricing from $49.99/month. SaaSAdviser: 5/5 from 10 reviews (no G2/Capterra coverage). Also developing ‘Validate’ client validation platform. VPM pages are hosted on terrifio.com — single point of failure if the company experiences downtime or shuts down. No direct VPM-only competitor found; broader IP management platforms (TriangleIP, Anaqua) include VPM as a feature within larger suites. Large companies (KnowBe4, P&G) maintain custom VPM pages. Markr targets companies without resources for custom pages or full IP suites.
Key Capabilities
- VPM page automation: Generates and maintains virtual patent marking web pages that associate products with patent numbers
- Patent-product mapping: AI-powered mapping of patents to products across portfolios
- Compliance tracking: Monitors patent status changes (grants, expirations) and updates marking pages accordingly
Pricing
Starting at $49.99/month (per SpotSaaS comparison).
Who It’s For
Designed for IP counsel at corporations with product patent portfolios, patent attorneys at IP boutiques, and startups/academics with patented technology. Most valuable for organizations with large patent portfolios where manual marking page maintenance is burdensome and compliance gaps risk damages claims.

Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Terrifio is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Terrifio addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
IP law firm prosecution team handling 500+ active patent applications across USPTO, EPO, JPO, and CNIPA uses a different docketing system than the client's in-house team — deadlines get double-entered or missed in translation, office action responses are tracked in email threads, and neither side has real-time visibility into prosecution status
