Before you buy
Is the $199 a one-time charge or a subscription?▾
One-time, per provisional. You pay once, we generate and deliver the USPTO-ready ZIP, and that's the end of the transaction. The only subscription we offer is Pro at $29/month, which gives you a $50 discount on each subsequent draft and access to /manage portfolio tracking.
What's included in the $199?▾
A full provisional specification (1,500–2,500 words, Word + PDF), claims document (1 independent + 8–15 dependent), abstract (under 150 words), SB/16 cover sheet + ADS + SB/15A micro-entity forms pre-filled from your inventor info, and an adversarial review flagging examiner-likely objections. All bundled in a ZIP you can upload to the USPTO Patent Center directly.
Do I still need a lawyer?▾
We recommend you have a registered patent practitioner review the generated draft for an hour ($250–$500 typical rate) before filing. That covers claim-scope strategy and §101 patent-eligibility judgment — the pieces AI can't reliably handle. The math still works out: $199 + $500 + $65 USPTO fee = ~$765 all-in, versus $2,500–$5,000 for a traditional attorney-drafted provisional.
How fast do I get the ZIP?▾
Under 24 hours. The generation step runs automatically after your Stripe checkout completes — our fulfillment webhook calls Claude Sonnet 4.5 for the spec, claims, and abstract in parallel (~20–40 seconds), then emails you the link. Typical end-to-end time is 2–5 minutes.
Can I refund if the draft doesn't fit my invention?▾
Yes, within 7 days of delivery. If our generated draft doesn't substantively describe what you disclosed — e.g. the spec is about something else, or the claims don't reference your key mechanism — email support@50search.com and we'll regenerate or refund. We do not refund for stylistic preferences or for drafts that accurately reflect a disclosure the inventor later wants to revise.
Will my disclosure stay confidential?▾
Yes. Your disclosure is stored encrypted in our Supabase database and used only to generate your draft. We never send it to third-party training pipelines. After you file, you can make the disclosure public (many inventors publish on GitHub or a blog) — before filing, treat anything sent to 50search as a pre-filing disclosure for §102(b) purposes (the 12-month grace period starts when you publish, not when we generate your draft).
