About Tradespace

A New Model
‍for IP Law

Our mission is to provide the technology and the legal judgment to support IP teams across the entire innovation lifecycle.

— Alec Sorensen, Co-founder and CEO

We think AI changes everything for in-house IP teams. It can read disclosures, evaluate inventions, and track deadlines, all at a scale that used to require large IP teams and outside-counsel budget.

We also think it's close to worthless without experienced lawyers. Someone has to supervise the agents, set the strategy, and make the calls that need real legal judgment.

So we built both, hand in hand. You use our platform to run tasks like invention harvesting, IP evaluations, and docketing. You work with our IP law practice to file patents, respond to office actions, and pay annuities.

It's one workflow, with lawyers and AI on equal footing. Nobody else does it this way yet. We think that's the whole point.
