Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Tradespace is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Tradespace addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
In-house IP team asked to evaluate whether a new product infringes competitor patents — evidence-of-use analysis requires manually comparing product features against hundreds of patent claims, which takes weeks of attorney time at $500/hour and still produces incomplete results
R&D team submits invention disclosures into a black box — they never hear back about patent decisions, don't understand why some inventions get filed and others don't, and eventually stop submitting because the process feels pointless
Where it fits in your workflow
Before Tradespace
R&D invention/innovation → invention disclosure submission via Inventor Portal
After Tradespace
Patent prosecution → valuation → licensing/commercialization → annuity management → portfolio optimization
Integrations & hand-offs
Inventor Portal (disclosure) → AI evaluation + prior art search → patent drafting (Paragon AI) → prosecution management → valuation → licensing campaigns. Integrates with CRM, CLM, ERP via APIs/connectors. Patent office communications auto-captured.
