Question 1

What is Geyser™?

Accepted Answer

Geyser™ is AI-powered provisional patent drafting software that helps inventors organize five sequential modules, from idea screening to a downloadable, USPTO-format provisional patent application draft. It uses a multi-agent AI architecture to analyze, refine, research, and draft patent claims and specifications. The inventor makes every key decision at each step. Geyser Inc. is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.

Question 2

Does Geyser™ replace a patent attorney?

Accepted Answer

No. Geyser™ produces a provisional patent application draft, not legal advice. The platform is a self-help drafting tool. Geyser Inc. strongly recommends that all outputs be reviewed by a registered patent practitioner before filing with the USPTO. When you’re ready for professional help, the free PatentFit™ Directory on patentgeyser.com matches you with practitioners whose technical expertise aligns with your invention.

Question 3

What is the PatentFit™ Directory?

Accepted Answer

The PatentFit™ Directory is a free patent practitioner directory on patentgeyser.com. It indexes registered patent attorneys and agents based on their publicly available USPTO filing history and uses a proprietary PatentFit Score to help you find practitioners whose technical expertise matches your invention’s area. The directory is a separate product from the drafting subscription and is free for all users. Geyser Inc. does not endorse or guarantee any listed practitioner.

Question 4

Is my invention idea safe and confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes—confidentiality is the foundation of Geyser™. We run our own secure, proprietary code on top of confidential enterprise APIs with Google and OpenAI, and we spread the drafting workload across 34 specialized AI agents that operate on a strict need-to-know basis. No single agent ever sees the whole invention, the same way a defense contractor compartmentalizes a classified program so that no single engineer has the full picture. We do not use your submissions to train models, do not sell your data, and do not share it with other users. Geyser Inc. provides a written confidentiality guarantee covering this architecture. Note that because Geyser Inc. is not a law firm, your communications with the platform are not protected by attorney-client privilege. See Section 7 of our User Agreement for full details.

Question 5

How long does it take to complete all five modules?

Accepted Answer

Most inventors go from idea to a complete, downloadable provisional draft in about two hours—roughly 100x faster than the traditional drafting process. AI processing at each step typically takes seconds to a few minutes, and you can pause and resume between modules if your invention is more complex.

Question 6

Can I use Geyser™ drafting software for software and blockchain inventions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Geyser™ drafting software is built for software and blockchain inventors. Module 1 includes an option to paste source code for deeper AI analysis. The platform handles inventions across software, blockchain, and related technology domains.

Question 7

What happens after I download my draft?

Accepted Answer

You have several options. You can file the provisional application yourself directly with the USPTO through their Patent Center system. You can send the draft to a patent attorney for review and refinement before filing. Or you can use the free PatentFit™ Directory on patentgeyser.com to find a registered practitioner matched to your invention’s technical area.

Question 8

What format is the final output?

Accepted Answer

The final provisional patent application draft downloads as a DOCX (Microsoft Word) file. It includes the background, summary of the invention, detailed description, claims, and optionally generated technical diagrams. DOCX is the standard format accepted by the USPTO for provisional filings.

Question 9

What is Proof of Human Conception?

Accepted Answer

Proof of Human Conception is a three-factor framework for documenting that a natural person—not an AI system—actually conceived the invention claimed in a patent. It asks whether the human (1) contributed significantly to the conception, (2) made a contribution that is not insignificant in quality relative to the full invention, and (3) did more than merely apply well-known concepts. Geyser™ drafting software is the first AI provisional patent tool with Proof of Human Conception built directly into the workflow—an integration on which Geyser Inc. has a patent pending—so the documentation is generated as you draft, not bolted on afterward. This is particularly useful for team inventions or situations where AI contributed to concept development.

Question 10

What if my idea doesn’t pass the screening in Module 1?

Accepted Answer

Module 1 is designed to give you an honest assessment before you invest further time. If the Examiner agent identifies significant challenges, you can refine your concept with additional details, trigger a re-analysis, or accept the assessment. Knowing early that an idea needs work is more valuable than discovering it after drafting.

Question 11

Is a provisional patent application a real patent?

Accepted Answer

No. A provisional application is not an issued patent. It is a filing that establishes your priority date and gives you up to 12 months of Patent Pending status. Within those 12 months, you must file a non-provisional application that references the provisional to maintain your priority date. The provisional itself is never examined by the USPTO and cannot be rejected, and it also cannot mature into a granted patent on its own.

Question 12

Does Geyser™ drafting software file anything with the USPTO on my behalf?

Accepted Answer

No. Geyser™ drafting software does not file, transmit, or submit any documents to the USPTO or any other patent office. The platform produces a draft document. Filing is entirely your responsibility.

Question 13

What happens to my data if I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

You retain read-only access to your existing project data after cancellation. You lose the ability to run new AI processing workflows. Geyser Inc. may retain data for a commercially reasonable period for backup, archival, or legal compliance purposes, after which it is deleted per our data retention policy.

Question 14

What are the USPTO filing fees?

Accepted Answer

The provisional application filing fee is separate from Geyser™ and paid directly to the USPTO. As of the current fee schedule: micro entities pay $160, small entities pay $320, and large entities pay $640. Geyser™ drafts the application. The filing itself is your responsibility.
