PriorClaim is live

PriorClaim is live.

PriorClaim is a request board for inventors at the provisional stage — whether they need help converting filings into non-provisional protection, or are seeking investment partners to fund and commercialize their invention.

Inventors sign in with LinkedIn, choose a request type (Service, Investment, or Open), publish a non-enabling request, and upload provisional receipt evidence for private manual verification. Service requests can include scope, budget, and filing needs. Investment requests can indicate what is offered in return — equity, co-ownership, license, or negotiable — plus current stage and funding timeline. Verified requests become visible to patent attorneys, IP firms, and investors, who can send offers and message through the platform — without public exposure of sensitive filing details.

What you can do today:

Inventors — post a Service, Investment, or Open request; keep the provisional number and receipt private; review offers; and continue engagement off-platform.

Providers / firms — browse Service and Open requests, send offers, and chat with inventors inside PriorClaim.

Investors — browse Investment and Open requests, review what inventors are offering in return, and introduce yourselves through the platform.

Editors — follow Patent Wars for landmark IP cases and commentary as we publish them over time.

PriorClaim does not provide legal or investment advice, hold funds, process payments, or execute investment deals. Agreements and settlement happen between the parties.

Welcome aboard — and if you are filing under a ticking 12-month provisional clock, this board was built for that moment.
