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
