TurboPatent

TurboPatent develops artificial intelligence-driven software solutions designed to streamline and enhance the patent drafting and prosecution process. The company’s core product, now known as Rowan Patents under Clarivate, automates and accelerates the creation of high-quality patent applications, offering comprehensive AI assistance to improve output, consistency, and overall efficiency. This technology provides tools that augment the expertise of patent professionals, facilitating more effective management of intellectual property.

The company was co-founded by James Billmaier and Charles Mirho in 2008, initially operating as Patent Navigation. Their foundational insight stemmed from recognizing the inefficiencies inherent in traditional patent application methods, prompting a vision to leverage artificial intelligence to revolutionize this process. Billmaier, drawing on his extensive background from roles at technology firms such as GO Corp., General Magic, and Kaleida Labs, brought significant experience to the venture.

TurboPatent’s offerings cater primarily to patent professionals, including corporations and law firms, enabling them to navigate the complexities of intellectual property creation and protection with greater ease. The company’s long-term vision is to empower innovators globally by providing sophisticated tools that ensure critical IP assets are effectively managed, protected, and ultimately, maximized for strategic advantage.
