Claim Drafter

Claim Drafter is a patent claim drafting tool built around 23VIP's EU-hosted open-source default path. It uses open-source Qwen and Mistral models by default, adds Flux for drawing conversion, and keeps commercial models optional rather than primary. The drafting workflow still thinks like a European patent attorney and works in any language.

How It Works

Step-by-Step Guided Drafting

Claim Drafter walks you through a structured claim drafting process:

  1. Problem Determination: Analyze your invention disclosure to identify the technical problem solved
  2. Draft Claim 1: Build your broadest independent claim
  3. Draft Independent Claims: Develop additional independent claims covering different aspects, including cross-category references where appropriate
  4. Extend to 15 Claims: Build a comprehensive dependent claim tree
  5. Extend Further: Add many more claims, based on the invention disclosure. These can be used as fallback in the description.
  6. Add Reference Numbers: Insert reference numerals coordinated with your figures
  7. Generate Drawings: Create patent drawings directly from your claims
  8. Convert Color Drawings: Transform color drawings into patent-compliant black and white

Model Selection

Claim Drafter separates default EU-hosted models from optional commercial models:

  • Qwen 3.5 122B: Default EU-hosted model for claim drafting
  • Mistral Small 4 119B: Alternative EU-hosted open-source model with stronger reasoning mode selection
  • Gemini, GPT, Opus: Optional commercial models, available on demand and disable-able by account policy

You can also chat with your results to refine and improve them interactively.

Built-In Patent Logic

Feature What It Does
Antecedent Basis Checking Ensures every element is properly introduced before reference
Dependency Validation Confirms dependent claims properly narrow their base claims
Terminology Consistency Flags inconsistent language across claim set

Why Patent Attorneys Choose Claim Drafter

Control Over Output

Unlike "black box" AI tools, Claim Drafter keeps you in control:

  • Guide the AI at each step
  • Accept, modify, or reject suggestions
  • Build claims iteratively rather than hoping for a good result

Confidentiality

Claim Drafter defaults to an EU-hosted open-source operating mode. Your invention disclosures stay confidential:

  • Qwen, Mistral, and Flux are the default model path
  • These default models are selected because they do not train on your data
  • Commercial models remain available only on demand and can be disabled by user or organization policy
  • Claim Drafter is designed to prevent internal access to your inputs and outputs
  • Designed with GDPR requirements and European hosting considerations in mind—23VIP is a Belgian company with European hosting for the application layer

Speed Without Sacrifice

Generate comprehensive claim sets in minutes rather than hours:

  • First draft independent claim in under 5 minutes
  • Complete claim tree development in 20-30 minutes
  • More time for strategic thinking, less time on structure

Use Cases

New Application Drafting

Start with an invention disclosure and build a complete claim set:

  • Multiple independent claims covering different aspects, including claims that refer back across categories where appropriate
  • Comprehensive dependent claim trees
  • Consistent terminology throughout
  • Consistent reference numbers

Drawing Generation

Create patent-compliant drawings directly from your claims:

  • Generate schematic drawings based on claim elements
  • Interactive editing: drag-and-drop elements, resize shapes, modify text
  • Download as SVG (editable in PowerPoint)
  • Convert color images to patent-compliant black and white
  • B/W conversion defaults to an EU-hosted open-source model in the default mode
  • Gemini and OpenAI remain optional commercial alternatives where enabled
  • Generate 3 style variations to choose your preferred look
  • Automatic reference numeral coordination

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Claim Drafter different from ChatGPT?

Claim Drafter is purpose-built for patent claims and thinks like a European patent attorney. It includes antecedent basis checking, claim dependency validation, and patent-specific guidance that general LLMs lack. Unlike generic tools, 23VIP defaults to open-source models hosted in Europe and keeps commercial models secondary.

Can I use Claim Drafter for EPO applications?

Yes. Claim Drafter is designed with European patent practice in mind. It generates claims suitable for EPO, PCT, and other jurisdictions, and works in any language.

What input format do I need?

Claim Drafter accepts text-based invention disclosures. You can paste from documents or type directly. Structured IDFs work best, but the tool handles various input formats.

How long does it take to generate a claim set?

Initial independent claims generate in minutes. A complete claim tree typically takes 20-30 minutes of guided development, compared to several hours manually.

Can I choose which AI model to use?

Yes. The default recommendation is an EU-hosted open-source model stack. Commercial models remain available on demand when your account policy allows them.
