ThoughtFence provides a provenance platform designed to help organizations capture and protect invention disclosures for legal AI workflows. The company focuses on making more research and innovation visible to IP offices while improving the quality and traceability of disclosures before filing. Inventors can submit ideas in voice, image, document, code, or text formats. AI-assisted refinement helps fill gaps in disclosures while keeping inventors in control, so counsel can evaluate submissions with less rewriting.

ThoughtFence records an idea’s origin, time, and place using tamper-resistant timestamps and a chain of custody. Separate workspaces for each matter help keep inventors, counsel, and reviewers within defined boundaries, and structured, audit-ready exports can be used with existing legal AI tools rather than replacing them. The company offers a focused pilot for two inventor groups, covering scope definition, disclosure capture and evaluation, and a report on measured quality and quantity gains. Organizations can also request access to a novelty search service intended to surface prior art before investing in drafting.
