IP intelligence for every founder

You're building something
nobody's built before.
Cidāri makes sure you know it.

Whether you're writing code, prompting AI, or sketching a breakthrough on a napkin — Cidāri watches what you create and tells you when you've stumbled onto something patentable. Privately. Automatically. Before anyone else notices.

100% private.  Your work never leaves your machine. Only math vectors touch the cloud.

Brilliant ideas are born every day. Almost none of them are protected.

You don't need a lab or a law degree to invent something. You just need to solve a problem nobody's solved before — and in the age of AI, that's happening more often than anyone realizes.

83%
of startup IP is never formally identified. It lives in code, conversations, and docs that nobody thinks to review for patentability.
12 mo
is all you get. After public disclosure, you have one year to file in the US — and zero time in most other jurisdictions. Most founders don't even know the clock has started.
$0
is what most founders budget for IP review. Not because they don't care — because they don't know there's something to review.

is the valuation premium a strong patent portfolio adds. Investors price IP protection into every term sheet — or discount its absence.

If you build things, this is for you.

Cidāri doesn't care about your pedigree, your stack, or your zip code. It cares about what you're creating.

⌨️

The engineer

You push code every day. Novel solutions hide inside commit messages labeled "fixed bug" and PRs marked "refactor." Cidāri sees what you didn't think to name.

The vibe coder

You build with Cursor, Replit, or ChatGPT. You've never opened a terminal. But you just described a novel approach to a problem — and that's patentable. Cidāri catches it.

🌍

The global founder

You're building from Lagos, São Paulo, or a village with a laptop and a dream. Nobody in your network knows patent law. Cidāri is the advisor you didn't have access to — until now.

Tell it what you're building. It tells you what you've invented.

A local AI pipeline that reads like a human but decides like an engineer. Your work stays on your machine — always.

01

Capture your work

Type an idea with Quick Capture, or let Cidāri silently monitor your Git commits, Slack messages, and local files. However you build — it's watching.

02

AI reads, rules decide

A local language model extracts the entities — methods, architectures, novel combinations. Then a deterministic rules engine classifies them. The AI understands. The rules judge. Zero hallucinations.

03

Prior art search

When something looks novel, Cidāri converts it to a math vector — not your actual words — and checks it against the USPTO patent database. You get a novelty score and the closest existing patents.

04

One tap to protect it

Cidāri generates a patent-ready Invention Disclosure Record. Review it, then tap "Talk to an attorney" to get connected with IP counsel who can file for you. From idea to protection in minutes, not months.

The inventions hiding in plain sight.

Every one of these is a real scenario where patentable work went unnoticed.

Code

A novel algorithm buried in a commit

An engineer solves a performance problem with a new approach. The commit says "fixed latency bug." Cidāri sees a novel method worth protecting.

AI-assisted

A unique solution built with AI

You prompted an AI to solve a problem and got back an approach nobody's tried. The novelty is in what you asked for and how you combined it — not who typed the code.

Architecture

A new combination of existing things

Your product wires together known technologies in a way nobody has before. Individual parts aren't novel — the combination is. Cidāri catches architecture, not just code.

Compliance

A disclosure clock you didn't know started

Someone shares a novel architecture in a public channel or pushes to an open repo. You now have 12 months to file. Cidāri starts the timer.

Start with Quick Capture. Add integrations as you grow.

Your next client already built something patentable. They just don't know it yet.

Cidāri generates patent-ready Invention Disclosure Records from real creative activity — code, AI-assisted builds, even typed ideas. Founders get the clarity to file. You get the referral before they think to look for counsel.

  • Structured IDRs with prior art analysis and novelty scores
  • One-click hand-off — founder reviews IDR, taps "Talk to an attorney"
  • Referral revenue on filings — warm leads, not cold calls
  • Client data never touches our servers — you get the IDR, nothing else

Everything you build gets verified.
Everything verified becomes a credential.

Your work becomes mathematical proof of what you've built — privately, via zero-knowledge cryptography. No résumés. No pedigree. No "trust me." The people who matter can verify your capability without ever seeing your work. A founder in Lagos matches with capital in London — not because of who they know, but because the math says they've built something real.

LinkedIn is performative — you claim what you've done and nobody checks. The professional identity of the future is mathematical, not biographical.
