# AutoInvent

> AutoInvent turns your ideas into provisional patents in minutes. Fast, easy, and lawyer-free. It also surfaces abandoned patents worth reinventing, drafts USPTO-ready specifications with AI, and helps inventors file a provisional patent themselves for a flat $320 (plus the USPTO fee), versus roughly $5,000 with a patent lawyer.

## Key facts
- A provisional patent locks in an official filing date and gives "patent pending" status for 12 months.
- AutoInvent's fee is a flat $320 per provisional patent, one-time, and is the same on every plan. The USPTO charges a separate filing fee (about $60–$130 for a micro or small entity).
- Using AutoInvent requires a plan, and every plan starts with a 3-day free trial. Pro ($25/mo billed yearly, or $39/mo monthly) covers the full platform: 8 patent reinventions a month, unlimited searches, and unlimited saved ideas and patents. Premium ($69/mo billed yearly, or $99/mo monthly) adds daily competitor monitoring for up to 25 competitors, with email alerts. There is no free tier.
- AutoInvent is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
