PATLY.AICompanies file nearly all the IP.
Universities create nearly all of it.
Patly will change the entire IP market by protecting the hundreds of thousands of valuable patents that top universities create and never even see.
of valuable patents top universities create and never even see
Universities create 70% of the IP and hold 4% of the patents. Patly flips that.

84% of the patentable work leaks
Nothing is published until counsel has read it. Patent attorneys screen every paper before it goes out, the application is filed first, and inventors are paid and promoted for it.
Publish first, nobody screens. Disclosure is voluntary, a patent earns no tenure credit and no bonus, and most faculty never learn that a paper can be one. The paper starts a 12-month clock and the rights lapse.
The review step, without the company. Every paper the university publishes is read, the patentable ones are flagged and ranked, and the office files the ones it chooses, attorney-signed, at $5,500.
If we succeed, the institutions that create the IP become the ones that hold the patents. Universities move from 4% of US patents toward the share of the IP they already create, and every one of those filings runs through Patly: first to this market, and the only pipeline built for it.
Articles by sector: NSF Science and Engineering Indicators 2018, 2016 data, the latest sector split (public and private universities 69.5%, industry 6.0%, federal government 4.8%, FFRDCs 2.2%, nonprofits 5.2%). Patents: NSF Indicators 2024, USPTO utility patents to US owners in 2022 (business 128,937, individuals 12,864, academic institutions 6,635, government 1,164). Academia also performed 44% of US basic research in 2021. One-R1 figures are Patly model outputs.
