Frequently Asked Questions

How is the confidentiality of the information I provide to WOIPS guaranteed?

A: The confidentiality and security of user data are paramount to WOIPS. Our guarantees are built upon strict agreements and robust technical measures:

  • Strict AI Agreements: We enforce binding terms with all third-party AI service providers that explicitly prohibit the use of user data for model training, retention, or any secondary purpose beyond the immediate execution of the requested service.
  • Data Segmentation: To ensure maximum security, WOIPS employs a unique data segmentation methodology. We divide invention details and tasks into discrete segments before dispatching them to various AI providers.
  • Zero Retention Policy: WOIPS is committed to not accessing, utilizing, or retaining user-submitted information for any purpose other than delivering the agreed-upon intellectual property service.

I have an idea that I want to file a patent application. How can WOIPS help me?

A: WOIPS streamlines the initial stages of patent filing by combining high-quality expert work with cost-efficiency. We help you validate your idea and prepare for filing through:

  • High-Quality Prior Art Search: We conduct thorough searches to validate the global novelty of your invention claims, ensuring a solid foundation for your application.
  • Cost & Time Efficiency: Our platform eliminates the need for excessively costly consultations, allowing you to control time and budget without compromising on quality.
  • Patent Drafting Support: Beyond search, we assist in preparing patent documentation structured according to international standards (USPTO/EPO/PCT), setting you firmly on the path to securing your patent.

I am looking for patents in a specific field to use for research and development. How can WOIPS help me?

A: Absolutely. WOIPS offers flexible solutions tailored to your expertise and resources, whether you are a startup or a large enterprise:

  • Self-Service with AI Assistance: You can conduct prior art searches directly on our platform. Even if you have no prior experience, our AI-driven system is designed to eliminate complexity, making the process intuitive and accessible for everyone.
  • Expert-Led Search Services: Alternatively, you can delegate the task to our seasoned patent professionals. We handle the entire search process, delivering comprehensive reports tailored to your R&D needs.
  • Comprehensive Analysis: Regardless of the chosen path, we help you identify state-of-the-art technologies, map competitive landscapes, and uncover white spaces to fuel your innovation strategy.

Do you guarantee that the patent documents prepared by WOIPS will definitely become granted?

A: No reputable patent service can guarantee a grant, as the final decision rests with the patent office (e.g., USPTO, EPO) and depends on existing prior art.

However, WOIPS maximizes your chances of success by ensuring the highest quality of documentation. We conduct thorough prior art searches and draft claims with precise legal and technical standards to minimize the risk of rejection.

I don't want to provide detailed information about my invention. If I give only a little information, will I still be able to find similar inventions?

A: While it is possible to find some related inventions with limited information, providing more details significantly enhances the quality and relevance of your results.

With minimal input, the search may return broader, less precise results, potentially requiring more time to filter through irrelevant data. To ensure a cost-effective and comprehensive search that accurately captures the novelty of your idea, we recommend sharing as much technical detail as possible.

Can I completely delete my project information from the WOIPS platform?

A: Yes, you have full control over your data. You can permanently delete any project you have created on the WOIPS platform at any time.

Once deleted, we will not retain any information about your project in our systems, ensuring your intellectual property remains completely secure.

I have no experience with searching for inventions. Can I use your platform?

A: Absolutely. Our platform is designed to be user-friendly for everyone, from beginners to experts. You do not need prior experience to navigate the search process effectively.

We provide comprehensive guides and tutorials to assist you, and our AI-driven tools simplify the complex technical aspects. Furthermore, if you need further assistance, our expert support team is readily available via our ticket system to help you at every step.

We are a university/research institute/law firm/SME/corporate R&D team. How can we test the performance of your platform?

A: We invite you to experience our capabilities firsthand through a complimentary demo. Simply fill out the "Demo Request" form, and we will schedule a personalized virtual session.

During this meeting, we will demonstrate the system's workflow and perform a live search on a topic relevant to your field. You will keep the results of this search. This introductory session is offered completely free of charge.
