One job, every side

The running jobjob_7Hq2 · waiting · on claim · $149.00 held · sign · tsk_7Hq2

One provisional patent matter, from one recording, as each participant sees it. The buyer orders, the applicant consents and answers through her own links, a practitioner signs in their own session, and the owner reads the record.

One matter, one recording, four seats. Each call below was made by the participant it names, with their own credential, and no one acts for anyone else.

The buyer

A person or their agent orders with the brand's test key. The matter holds $199 and waits on the applicant before anything else happens:

Call
→ POST /matters {"service":"provisional-patent","invention":["hinge.pdf"],"applicant":{"name":"Ada Lovelace","email":"ada@example.com"},"inventors":[{"name":"Ada Lovelace","email":"ada@example.com"}],"entity_size":"micro","max_usd":199,"key":"walk","metadata":{"sandbox":{"review":"flag_once"}}}
magic values: metadata.sandbox.review = flag_once, member = mbr_eligible

The applicant

Ada holds a link no key can use, and needs no account. She consents, then answers the questions the Service asks before the AI drafts:

# Ada answers the questions, through her own link

← 200 done

← job_7Hq2 · waiting · on claim · $199.00 held · sign · tsk_7Hq2

The practitioner

The AI drafts the application and the adversarial panel examines it. The examination flags the first draft once, and the AI redrafts. Then the sign step posts a review to the attorneys' Pool. A patent practitioner reads its teaser, then the sheet with the parties' names. They claim it, clear conflicts, read the packet, and sign, affirming each item on the checklist:

  "summary": "Provisional Patent Application: A provisional application, drafted, examined, filed. Done so far: consent, questions, draft, examine. Yours: sign.",
  "input": {
    "invention": [

The packet opens on what they sign: each file the AI wrote, by hash, with both versions and what changed. They read the drafted application beside Ada's disclosure, and their signature binds the packet's hash.

The buyer, again

The brand files with the office, and the office's receipt releases the charge. The buyer reads a delivered matter, its three outputs, each file citing the disclosure it rests on, and the patent family it opened:

Call
→ GET /matters/job_7Hq2   # the buyer
magic values: metadata.sandbox.review = flag_once, member = mbr_eligible
← job_7Hq2 · delivered · $199.00 charged · subject sbj_7Hq2
  output  application application.pdf · from hinge.pdf
  output  exam exam.pdf · from hinge.pdf
  output  application_number rcp_7Hq2

The owner

The owner console reads what no buyer can: the whole record, the ledger with the practitioner's pay, and every event in order.

Call
→ GET /owner/matters/job_7Hq2   # the owner console
