Built By Practitioners, For Practitioners

We're not just software developers—we're patent professionals who use these tools every day in our own practice

IronCrow AI Mission
Our Mission

Empowering Patent Professionals Through AI

At IronCrow AI, our mission is to empower patent professionals with cutting-edge artificial intelligence solutions that enhance their ability to innovate and excel in the rapidly evolving field of intellectual property.

We believe that by leveraging machine learning to automate tedious tasks and provide predictive insights, patent practitioners can focus more on high-level strategy and creative problem-solving—the areas where their expertise truly shines.

Born from the practical needs of patent professionals, IronCrow AI serves as a bridge between the complex world of AI and the specialized domain of patent practice.

Why We're Different

We're not a tech company trying to understand patent law—we're patent professionals who happen to build great software

We Practice What We Build

Every feature exists because we encountered a real problem in our own patent practice and built a solution. This practitioner-level insight—born from daily use rather than quarterly product roadmaps—is what separates tools that genuinely improve your workflow from tools that create more work.

Your Virtual Innovation Partner

We recognize that many patent practitioners lack the resources or specialized IT support to build and maintain sophisticated AI tools in-house. That's where we come in. By acting as a virtual innovation partner, IronCrow AI handles the technological complexities, allowing you to harness the full potential of AI without the burden of development and maintenance.

Democratizing AI for Patent Practice

We're committed to fostering innovation in the patent industry, ensuring that all practitioners—regardless of their organization's size or resources—can benefit from the transformative power of AI. Our pricing reflects this commitment: we charge about half what our major competitors charge because we price our tools at rates we'd actually pay ourselves.

Our Story

From Patent Practice to AI Innovation

IronCrow AI was born from a simple realization: the patent industry needed AI tools built by people who actually understand patent practice.

As practicing patent professionals, we experienced firsthand the frustrations of existing tools—generic AI that required hours of editing, proofreading software that missed critical errors, and analytics platforms that didn't understand the nuances of prosecution strategy.

Rather than accept these limitations, we decided to build something better. We combined our deep understanding of patent practice with cutting-edge AI technology to create tools that actually work the way patent professionals work.

Today, IronCrow AI is trusted by in-house counsel at multiple Fortune 100 companies and used by numerous U.S. patent firms. We're proud to be an Official Partner of the National Association of Patent Practitioners (NAPP), and we continue to innovate based on feedback from our community of users.

Our Core Values

The principles that guide everything we build

01

Quality Over Quantity

We prioritize building tools that produce work product you'd actually file, not just tools that produce output quickly. Speed matters, but quality matters more.

02

Practitioner-First Design

Every feature is designed by practitioners who use these tools daily. We don't build features because they sound impressive—we build them because they solve real problems.

03

Transparency & Security

Your confidential information deserves ironclad protection. We implement enterprise-grade security with zero data retention and fully U.S.-based operations.

04

Fair Pricing

We charge about half what our major competitors charge because we price our tools at rates we'd actually pay ourselves. Innovation shouldn't require a Fortune 500 budget.
