Why Patai

Specialised expert network

Patents require deep technical understanding. On Patai, only patent attorneys with proven expertise in your technical field (e.g. biotech, software, mechanical engineering) have access to your request. You speak the same language from the very first second.

Compare offers and strategies

Patent attorney fees can vary greatly – often without visible quality differences. With us, you transparently compare the strategic approaches, experience and cost structures of different law firms before you commit.

Maximum confidentiality

Everything you enter on our platform is treated with strict discretion. We are happy to sign an NDA on request, and only verified patent attorneys have access to your request.
CERTELO

Proof of priority before sharing

Before you describe your idea on our platform, you can create an irrefutable proof of priority via our partner CERTELO. This gives you proof that the idea was in your possession before you discuss it with experts.
