ZANUS AI FOR IP & PATENT PRACTICES — OVERVIEW
Inventor calls answered, status questions absorbed, consultations booked. Prior art searched across your own filing history, office-action responses shelled from your winning arguments, deadline digests filed before Monday. One AI system for the client side and the prosecution side — in YOUR isolated tenant, or on hardware you own.
Private tenant or your own server · unlimited users · confidentiality-conscious architecture

A real deployment view: portfolios, scheduled deadline digests, response shells awaiting attorney review.
“Have we claimed this mechanism before?” — asked in plain language, answered from decades of your own specifications and claims, with the file attached.
The AI reads the office action and the cited art, maps the rejections, and drafts a response shell from YOUR past winning arguments — the patent attorney argues, the AI assembles.
Unfiled disclosures and unpublished applications are the most sensitive documents in the building. Your tenant is isolated; nothing trains anyone else’s model — or run it air-gapped on hardware you own.
Inventors call excited and vague; corporate clients call wanting status on twelve matters. The Zanus front office answers on your menu 24/7, captures disclosures cleanly, gives status from what you authorize, and books attorney consultations into real calendars — in up to 40 languages.


A Monday deadline digest across every open application, a prior-art sweep of your own portfolio before the new claims go out, an IDS cross-check against what was cited before — executed on schedule, cited, waiting for the practitioner’s review.
Some clients — defense contractors, pre-IPO companies, trade-secret-adjacent work — demand more than a private tenant. The identical OS runs on Zanus hardware inside your office: air-gap capable, USB updates, unlimited users.

No. It searches, maps, digests and drafts shells from your own files — the registered practitioner argues, signs and files. Every output waits in a review queue for the attorney or agent.
Isolated tenant that never trains outside models, matter-level workgroups, field-level permissions, server-side redaction, searchable audit trail — and a fully air-gapped on-premises option for the strictest clients.
Yes: flat price, unlimited users. The docketing clerk, the paralegal and every practitioner get full access without a per-seat bill. Boutiques go live in days to weeks.
ZANUS AI FOR IP & PATENT PRACTICES — FRONT OFFICE
Inventors call when the idea strikes — Sunday night included. Corporate IP managers call wanting twelve statuses before their board meeting. The Zanus front office answers on your menu, in your voices, captures cleanly, informs from what you authorize, and books — 24/7, in up to 40 languages.
Private tenant or your own server · unlimited users · confidentiality-conscious architecture

Calls, chats, disclosure intakes and bookings — one dashboard the practice manager can read.
An inventor calls with the idea half-formed. The AI walks your disclosure-intake questions, captures the description verbatim, timestamps it, and books the attorney consultation — nothing evaporates by Monday.
The call that interrupts every docketing clerk, answered from the matter data you authorize — filed, pending, response due — with anything sensitive escalated to the team.
Filing timelines, fee structures, what counts as prior disclosure, what to bring to the consultation: answered identically every time from YOUR approved information.
A startup founder calls about protecting a product launching in six weeks; the AI answers, captures the essentials, flags the urgency by your rules, books the earliest consultation on the practitioner’s real calendar and sends the preparation checklist.


Website chat that answers like your best paralegal, web disclosure forms worked in minutes, inbound client email triaged and drafted for reply — every conversation transcribed and attached to the contact record.
No. It captures, informs and schedules using your approved information only. Patentability and infringement questions are escalated to the practitioners — that judgment is the practice.
Yes. Your numbers stay; calls route AI-first after hours, staff-first during the day, or any mix per line and per hour.
Up to 40 languages — a Munich associate and a Tokyo client each get answers in their own language, from the same authorized information.
ZANUS AI FOR IP & PATENT PRACTICES — BACK OFFICE
Office-action responses, IDS preparation, claim charts, portfolio summaries: prosecution is document work with career-ending deadlines. The Zanus back office drafts it from your own file wrappers and winning arguments, cited — and every shell waits for the practitioner’s judgment.
Private tenant or your own server · unlimited users · confidentiality-conscious architecture

A real session: office action mapped — rejections tabled, cited art summarized, response shell drafted, practitioner decides.
The AI reads the action, tables each rejection against the cited art, pulls how YOUR practice answered similar rejections before, and shells the response — the practitioner argues from strength, not from blank paper.
References cross-checked against what was already cited in the family, new art from related prosecutions flagged — the cross-check nobody enjoys, done before it is overdue.
Claim coverage summaries, family trees, expiration outlooks and inventor histories assembled from your own records — in your templates, ready for the client meeting.
Before the new claims go out, the AI sweeps your own specifications, claims and cited art for the mechanism — the embarrassing collision with your own earlier filing is caught in-house, in minutes, with the documents attached.


Figures, flowcharts and technical drawings are ingested alongside the text — ask which filings show a particular assembly and the answer comes back with the figure references, not just the abstract.
No — it makes YOUR archive searchable first: your filings, your cited art, your saved search results. External search platforms remain the practitioner’s tools; their outputs can be loaded into the libraries too.
The registered practitioner, always. The AI shells, tables and cites; the attorney or agent argues, edits, signs and files. The review queue is structural.

ZANUS AI FOR IP & PATENT PRACTICES — PRIOR ART & FILES
Specifications, claims, file wrappers, office actions, cited references, invention disclosures — loaded into curated libraries the AI reads from. Ask in plain language; get the answer with the file and figure attached, scoped to who is allowed to ask.
Private tenant or your own server · unlimited users · confidentiality-conscious architecture

Libraries in priority order: granted claims outrank drafts, current guidelines outrank superseded ones.
PDFs, scanned legacy wrappers, drawings, spreadsheet claim charts, examiner interview notes — the ingestion pipeline turns the archive into queryable knowledge, figures included.
The AI cites the specification paragraph, the claim number, the office-action page — or says the answer is not in your files. An invented citation in prosecution is a disaster; here it is structurally blocked.
Two competing clients in the same technology space? Their matters live behind separate walls — the AI answering one team cannot surface the other client’s documents, enforced server-side.
“How did we overcome the obviousness rejection on the 2019 sensor family?” “Which applications cite this reference?” “What did the examiner say in the last interview?” The archive answers in seconds with the documents attached — instead of depending on which practitioner remembers.

Only the roles and workgroups you authorize. Permissions reach the field level and the server redacts what a user cannot see — pre-publication material stays exactly as compartmentalized as you design.
Never. Your tenant is isolated; your clients’ inventions are theirs alone — and the on-premises option keeps the archive physically inside your office.
ZANUS AI FOR IP & PATENT PRACTICES — AI WORKFORCE
Assign work to the AI the way you assign it to staff: type, files, deadline, recurrence. Monday deadline digests, monthly annuity reports, weekly competitor-filing watches — executed on schedule, cited to the file, under practitioner review.
Private tenant or your own server · unlimited users · confidentiality-conscious architecture

Four steps: work type, source files, tags, schedule — the AI takes it from there.
Deadline digest, office-action map, portfolio sweep, annuity report, IDS cross-check: work types molded to your practice, each with default sources and examples.
The AI’s workload reads like the docket: one-click views show what is urgent, late and due — the response shell for the three-month date does not slip while the team fights the two-week one.
Reasoning streamed live, sources cited to the file and claim, milestones tracked — supervisable mid-work, auditable after, linked to the matter and the calendar.
Set “Weekly Prosecution Deadline Digest” once: every Monday the AI sweeps the open applications, lists response dates, annuity windows and priority deadlines from your records, flags anything inside the danger window, and files the memo before the first practitioner arrives.

No — your docketing system stays the deadline system of record. The AI adds the digest, the cross-check and the narrative layer on top, and flags discrepancies between the files and the docket for a human to resolve.
Yes — open any session, read the streamed reasoning, redirect it or stop it. Visible, accountable, interruptible.
ZANUS AI FOR IP & PATENT PRACTICES — PROSECUTION SOPS
Every practice has its way: how disclosures are intaken, how responses are assembled, what each jurisdiction demands. In Zanus those playbooks are living documents: answerable in chat, attached to AI work by construction, current version always on top.
Private tenant or your own server · unlimited users · confidentiality-conscious architecture

The playbook library: current checklists and procedures on top, superseded versions outranked but archived.
Disclosure-intake checklists, response-assembly procedures, national-phase requirements, formalities rules per office: one library, current versions ranked first.
“What is our checklist for a national-phase entry?” — answered in seconds with the document attached, the night before the window closes, to any authorized team member.
The AI drafting a deadline digest reads the docketing procedure; the response-shell work reads the response playbook — by construction, not by memory.
Rule changes, fee-schedule updates, formalities revisions: assign quarterly playbook reviews once as recurring AI work and the practice’s way stops going stale — change summaries drafted for the partners, every review cycle on the audit record.

Upload the new version, set it on top: from that moment every answer and every AI work cites the new procedure. Old versions stay archived — with dates, for when it matters what the rule was at filing time.
ZANUS AI FOR IP & PATENT PRACTICES — TEAM TRAINING
Experienced IP paralegals and docketing clerks are among the hardest hires in legal. In Zanus, new staff learn your procedures from the AI itself — and everyone has an assistant that answers “how do we…?” with the current playbook cited, instead of interrupting the one person who knows.
Private tenant or your own server · unlimited users · confidentiality-conscious architecture

Training lives inside the software: the AI walks each new hire through the practice’s own procedures.
New paralegals learn your intake checklists, formalities rules and systems through guided training — productive in days, progress visible to the practice manager.
“How do we handle a missed-parts notice?” — asked to the assistant, answered from the practice procedure with the checklist attached, without pulling the senior clerk off a filing.
Private chats work on any device with a login — the procedure answer follows the trainee to the client meeting, in their own language.

The tenth “how do I record an assignment?” gets the same patient, cited answer as the first. Training content never goes stale because the assistant reads from the same living playbook libraries as everything else — update the procedure once and every future answer follows.
No — it teaches YOUR practice’s procedures and systems. Substantive patent law training and bar or agent qualification remain the professional’s own path.
ZANUS AI FOR IP & PATENT PRACTICES — AUTOMATIONS
Describe the job in plain words — “when an office action arrives, map the rejections, open the response tasks and notify the client” — and it becomes connected blocks on a canvas, running on its own, with every run visible and retryable.
Private tenant or your own server · unlimited users · confidentiality-conscious architecture

A real flow: inbox trigger, file sources, AI mapping step, three outputs — drawn from a description.
The action arrives: the flow files it to the matter, tables the rejections, shells the response, computes the response window into the task list, and drafts the client notification — from one trigger.
Invention disclosures arriving by email or web form are captured, timestamped, filed to a new matter record and queued for the intake attorney — no idea dies in an inbox.
Annuity and renewal windows from your records trigger client reminder sequences — drafted, approval-gated, escalating politely until the client instructs.
Run states live on the flow: green success, red failure on the exact block that broke. A client notification that failed to send or a document that failed to file is visible the moment it happens — with one-click retry and a run log.

No — filing remains the practitioner’s act through your existing filing channels. Automations prepare, compute, notify and file documents internally; the human files externally.
ZANUS AI FOR IP & PATENT PRACTICES — CLIENT RENEWALS
Annuity reminders, annual portfolio-review invitations, law-change alerts to affected clients, lapsed-client check-ins — drafted by the AI from your own records, in the practice’s voice, queued for approval. The client care that keeps portfolios in your practice.
Private tenant or your own server · unlimited users · confidentiality-conscious architecture

Campaigns and sequences drafted from practice records — renewals, reviews, alerts — awaiting approval.
Every client with annuities due next quarter, every portfolio untouched in a year, every client filing abroad without a foreign strategy conversation: audiences built from your own records — no list exports.
First notice, follow-up, final window: sequences drafted for approval, stopped automatically the moment the client instructs — every step on the record.
A fee change or rule change lands: the AI drafts a plain-language alert to exactly the clients it affects, in the practice’s voice, for the partner’s sign-off.
Audience, content and sending live in the same system as the portfolio records — nothing leaves your tenant to reach a mailing platform. “Invite every client with five-plus granted patents to an annual portfolio review” becomes a drafted, scheduled sequence in minutes.


Every outbound client communication waits in the approval queue unless the partners designate the category as auto-send. In a practice where a missed instruction can lapse a patent, that discipline is the product.
Yes — every send, every version and every reply is on the audit record, tied to the client and matter. When the question is “did we warn them?”, the answer is a search.
Yes — website chat and interactive AI demos qualify inventors and companies, and follow-up sequences keep the consultation pipeline warm, under the same approval rules.
ZANUS AI FOR IP & PATENT PRACTICES — DOCKETING & INTEGRATIONS
Your docketing system, DMS and billing stay the systems of record — deadlines especially. Zanus becomes the system of work: API connectors sync matters, dates and documents both ways, and AI drafts flow back where they belong. No rip and replace.
Private tenant or your own server · unlimited users · confidentiality-conscious architecture

No rip and replace: docketing, DMS and billing stay — the AI layer connects to all of them.
Matters, deadlines and document events mapped field by field, with a dry-run preview before anything writes — push, pull or two-way, and the docketing system stays master of the dates.
Office actions, examiner communications and client correspondence arriving by email are filed to the right matter under your handling rules — automatically, with the transcript kept.
A full API for the rest of the stack: filing platforms, search tools, client portals — data in, results out, under scoped keys, every event logged.
The deadline lives in docketing, the specification in the DMS, the client instruction in an email thread — and the AI reads across all of it. “What is outstanding on this family?” becomes one question with one grounded, cited answer.


The response shell the AI drafted, the portfolio summary, the client alert: finished documents return to the DMS matter workspace through the same connectors — after practitioner review, never before.
Connectors are mapped per deployment — bring your docketing system, DMS and billing to the demo and we walk through the exact integration path for your stack.
No. The connectors run inside your tenant — or inside your office on the on-premises option. Data moves directly between your systems.
ZANUS AI FOR IP & PATENT PRACTICES — CONFIDENTIALITY
An unfiled disclosure leaking is not an incident — it is prior art against your own client. Admin-created accounts, client walls as workgroups, permissions to the field level, server-side redaction, a searchable audit trail, and an air-gapped option where unfiled work never touches the internet.
Private tenant or your own server · unlimited users · confidentiality-conscious architecture

One record per user: role, tags, and granular permissions over every domain of the system.
Competing clients in one technology space live behind separate walls — the AI answering one team is structurally unable to surface the other’s documents.
A searchable log of every audited action: who opened the unpublished specification, who changed the claim draft, when — answers in minutes.
Your tenant is isolated: inventions never train outside models. The on-premises option puts the archive on hardware you own, air-gap capable, USB updates.
Corporate IP clients audit their outside counsel. The answers are built in: isolated tenant or owned hardware, field-level access control, server-side redaction, audit trail, pre-update snapshots with rollback — walk their questionnaire through the architecture, item by item.

The tenant is isolated, never trains outside models, and access is walled and audited. Clients who require physical custody choose the on-premises option — the same system, inside your walls, air-gap capable.
Yes — the audit trail records every audited access with user and time, searchable in seconds. Bring your security-minded clients’ questionnaires to the demo.
ZANUS AI FOR IP & PATENT PRACTICES — LIVE DEMO
IP software vendors demo by webinar, weeks out. Ours is the product itself, configured for IP practice: open the chat below-right and try it — report an invention, ask how an office-action map works, request the portfolio-sweep walkthrough.
The conversation you have with us IS the demo

This screen is watching demos like yours happen: live conversations, outcomes, first response in seconds.
Ask the chat what an inventor would: “I built a new latching mechanism, what do I do first?” — watch it capture, inform and offer the consultation slot.
Ask: “how would you map an office action?” — it walks the workflow it would run in your tenant: rejections tabled, art summarized, practitioner sign-off included.
The full demo loads an IP tenant with sample portfolios: deadline digests, prior-art sweeps, playbook answers — your world, working.
Every link below is a full live-demo page for that specific business — its vocabulary, its calls, its booking rules.
Request the demo and the interactive IP demo arrives in about two minutes — no sales call, no calendar dance. Watch it, interrupt it with questions, and book the human conversation when YOU are ready.

Yes — the same AI, configured with a sample IP tenant. What you see is what your practice gets, with your filings and playbooks instead of the samples.
