About FlowLeap
FlowLeap is a desktop patent workspace with an AI agent trained for patent work, aimed at patent attorneys and agents. It searches patent offices including the EPO, USPTO and WIPO, drafts claims with every assertion cited, answers office actions with the cited art retrieved, runs freedom-to-operate, invalidity and infringement analyses element by element and maps patent landscapes with trends and white space. Each result comes back with its source so a professional can check the work instead of repeating it.
Matters are kept as files you own, organized as projects instead of chats, with folders for analysis, figures, outputs and prior art. An example landscape report is built from a patent analytics database and shows applicants, filings per year, grant rates by office and geography. The same workflows can be run from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other MCP clients through a patent MCP server. A 7-day free trial is offered with no credit card, and the product states that its output is analytical support, not legal advice.
