You judge the invention. Vorker runs the file around it.
Vorker handles the admin around your IP work: prior-art searches compiled, search reports drafted, deadlines docketed and reminders written. You approve everything.
FAQ
What happens to a client’s disclosure? This is unfiled invention material.
It stays in your workspace and is used only to do your work. Disclosures are never used to train anyone’s models and never leave your systems, and nothing about a matter goes to anyone without your approval. You decide what Vorker reads, matter by matter.
Is it deciding what is patentable?
No. It compiles, cites, drafts and remembers. The flagged angle is a suggestion for your review, the report carries your judgment or it does not go out, and you approve every word under your name. The consultant in the practice is still you.
Will it send anything to a client without me?
No. Every search stays internal, and every report, email and reminder is prepared and then waits for you. You can read it, edit it, reject it, or approve it. Nothing moves on its own.
I run the practice alone. Is this overkill?
Sole consultants get the most out of it, because there is no docketing team to hand the searching and date-watching to. Vorker is built for practices of one to ten people, not for firms with staffed back offices.
How thorough are the searches?
It trawls broadly and cites everything it pulls, and it flags conservatively rather than quietly skipping. Treat the notes as a prepared first pass: you verify the citations that matter, which is still far faster than starting at an empty search box.
Do I have to learn a new system?
No. You brief Vorker the way you would brief an assistant, and it works inside the tools you already have: your email, your calendar, your files. The reports and invoices arrive as ordinary PDFs on your letterhead.
