Design to IP GmbH
What it is
German patent technology company making PatentEngine, a standalone web-based patent drafting suite (not a Word plugin). Provides structured authoring for patent specifications — claims, specification text, and drawing references — with enforced filing structures and automated reference numbering. Recently integrated AI agents via MCP (Model Context Protocol) for AI-assisted drafting (LLM details and accuracy benchmarks unknown). Founded 2020 in Düsseldorf. Very small team (~3 employees, 51 LinkedIn followers). Single substantive review on ip-lawyer-tools.com (Sep 2022, ‘test drive’ format). Has presented at patent drafting workshops (vendor-led by Thomas Lerdal). PatentEngine is specifically a patent specification drafting tool — it does not handle docketing, portfolio management, or prosecution tracking. No public pricing.
