Don’t know their patent number?
Sound familiar?
You spent years on it. The patent reads like a legal contract, and the certificate doesn’t explain a thing. So your family nods politely, investors skim, and the most important thing you’ve made stays invisible.
A PatentFilm film fixes that in about a minute, and it plays anywhere: the family group chat, LinkedIn, a pitch deck or the big screen at a reunion.
Three styles
Here’s the same 1986 squirt-gun patent told three ways. Pick the one that sounds like you, or get more than one.
A narrated explainer built from your actual patent: the claims read line by line with the key words lit up, your original drawings brought to life, and a calm voice that makes it make sense.
How it works
That’s all we need. Add a note about who it’s for or what you want people to feel, if you like.
Claims, drawings and history. Our AI studio drafts the film; ipCapital Group’s patent people check that it’s accurate.
In about a week you get a private link. Ask for changes; revisions are included in every package.
Download it, post it, text it, play it at the party. It’s yours: no subscription, no watermark.

Questions
Just your US patent number. Optionally tell us who the film is for and anything you want emphasized. You can also send product photos.
Every statement is grounded in your patent’s own text, claims and drawings. Our AI studio drafts it, and people who have spent careers writing patents review it before you see it. We never invent features your patent doesn’t describe.
It’s made in an AI-assisted studio and reviewed by humans. The Documentary and Sketchbook styles use your real patent drawings and exact claim text. The Cinematic style uses AI-generated footage to show your invention in the real world, and we label it as illustrative.
Spotlight in about 5 business days, Feature in 7, Premiere in 10. Rush delivery gets you a first cut in 72 hours.
Yes. You can use your film for personal and business purposes: websites, pitches, social media, crowdfunding and trade shows.
Granted patents are public records, and we only use the public record plus whatever you send us. Your film stays private unless you choose to share it. We don’t accept unpublished applications.
No. A PatentFilm film explains what your patent describes and claims in plain language. It isn’t a legal opinion about scope, validity or infringement, and it isn’t a valuation.
No. We’re an independent creative service from ipCapital Group. You never have to buy anything to keep your patent in force.
Every package includes revisions. If we still can’t make a film you’re proud of, we refund you in full.
Yes. Choose “It’s a gift” when you order. We send the finished film to you first, with a premiere link you can forward on the big day.
