Patent lifecycle management platform (TIP Tool) for invention disclosure capture, patent pipeline tracking, and portfolio analytics. Primarily an invention disclosure management and patent pipeline tracking tool — not a patent prosecution, litigation support, or annuity management platform. Drag-and-drop interface with automatic USPTO updates, real-time collaboration, and portfolio-level analytics. Patent counsel uploads drafts, system auto-notifies inventors and reviewers. Founded by Thomas Franklin (25+ years IP industry, IAM Top 300, Partner at Mughal IP). Free tier available alongside Premium and Custom plans — good entry point for emerging IP functions. 2-person team, 823 LinkedIn followers, no external funding disclosed. G2: 4.9/5 (12 reviews). Listed as one of 5 best invention harvesting tools by Solve Intelligence (Jul 2025) and top 10 IP management software by PatentRenewal.com (Oct 2025). Competes in invention disclosure niche with Onit, Rowan Patents Discovery, DIAMS Invent, Clarivate Memotech. Positioned as lightweight, affordable alternative to enterprise IP suites (Anaqua, CPA Global). Company has its own patents (including US11762912B2) — demonstrating technical IP credentials. Vendor claims 500+ signups (Concurate marketing case study). One unnamed ‘global tech company’ case study published. No independent outcome measurements. Published 2025 Patent Lifecycle Report. No security certifications publicly disclosed — critical concern for a tool handling pre-publication invention disclosures (trade secrets).

Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Triangle IP is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Triangle IP addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
IP law firm prosecution team handling 500+ active patent applications across USPTO, EPO, JPO, and CNIPA uses a different docketing system than the client's in-house team — deadlines get double-entered or missed in translation, office action responses are tracked in email threads, and neither side has real-time visibility into prosecution status
In-house IP team at a tech company files 200+ patent applications per year and each one takes a patent agent 40-60 hours to draft from the inventor disclosure — the bottleneck isn't the invention, it's the labour-intensive process of writing specifications, claims, and figures that meet USPTO requirements, while the patent agent's queue grows faster than they can work through it
R&D team submits invention disclosures into a black box — they never hear back about patent decisions, don't understand why some inventions get filed and others don't, and eventually stop submitting because the process feels pointless
IP department managing a portfolio of 500 patents across 12 art units has no systematic way to benchmark their prosecution outcomes — are their allowance rates above or below average? Are they spending more per patent than comparable portfolios? Nobody knows until the annual outside counsel review
