Patent Landscape Intelligence

From a single-portfolio try-me to private VPC deployments for AmLaw firms and pharma IP teams. Same engine across every tier — what changes is depth, scale, and where the deployment lives.

Self-Serve & Subscription

Three tiers. Pick the one that matches how you work.

Tier 0 is single-portfolio, single-window access on Stripe. Tier 1 is annual subscription — per-seat for individuals, firm-pool for boutiques. Tier 2 is single-tenant deployment inside your VPC.

  • Layer 1 landscape briefing (.docx)

Sales-Led Add-Ons

Engine Bridge and Strategic Run engagements

Two specialty offerings outside the standard tier ladder. Both are scoped per engagement and quoted directly.

Engine Bridge
From $50,000 / pairing / yr

Cross-deploy DCFN-Patents with another DCFN engine (e.g. DCFN-Research) so the two reason over a shared portfolio. Loyalty pricing rewards portfolio-wide commitment after the first pairing.

  • Tier 2 add-on (requires Private VPC base license)
  • Per-pairing annual pricing
  • Portfolio-wide cross-engine reasoning
Contact Sales — Engine Bridge
Strategic Run
$65,000 / engagement

One-shot engagement: LEF runs the engine on a target company's portfolio (not your own) and delivers a packaged M&A-grade intelligence report. For deal teams, PE firms, defensive aggregators, and IP intelligence buyers.

  • One target portfolio per engagement
  • L1 landscape + L2 deliverables wrapped in M&A-intelligence layer
  • Cryptographic attestation receipts on every L2 output
  • 2-week standard turnaround

What stays the same

The engine, the patent attribution, and the attorney-review posture do not change between tiers. What changes is depth, scale, and deployment locale.

Attorney review required before filing

Every Layer 2 deliverable carries this disclaimer. Not waivable. The engine produces file-ready provisional drafts; your licensed patent attorney decides whether to file as-is, modify, or hold.

Built on 8 patent-pending innovations

CTE cognitive traversal, QECO optimization, the Consolidated Supplemental (structural void detection + cross-domain transfer), and the Tesseract Composition Supplemental anchor the engine. Full attribution in the footer of every deliverable.

Engine version on every output

Every .docx deliverable embeds engine version + timestamp. Tier 2 outputs additionally carry a cryptographic receipt (SHA-256 + ISO timestamp + signature) as a sidecar JSON — USPTO accepts this as priority-date evidence.
