FlowLeap v0.1.0
First public release of FlowLeap Patent AI — an AI patent agent for
patent professionals, built on the VS Code platform.
Patent research agent
- Chat-driven patent agent with 28 typed tools against the FlowLeap backend:
EPO patent search (CQL, with natural-language query building), USPTO Open
Data Portal search, applications and continuity chains, file-wrapper and
office-action documents, enriched citation data (backward and forward, with
X/Y/A relevance tagging), patent-law reference search (MPEP, EPC, EPO
Guidelines), academic and non-patent literature search, claim analysis and
comparison, patent details and figures, portfolio analytics, and report
writing. - 25 bundled patent skills covering the full lifecycle — invention disclosure,
prior-art and novelty search, claim drafting and analysis, office-action
response, freedom-to-operate, invalidity analysis, infringement charting,
patent landscaping, maintenance-fee checks, and formatted patent reports. - Project templates for common patent workflows.
Bring your own key
- Model access is BYOK: connect your own API key (Anthropic, OpenRouter, and
other providers) — prompts and documents go directly from your machine to
your model provider. - Dedicated settings page for managing model and patent-provider credentials
(EPO OPS, USPTO ODP).
Documents
- Built-in PDF viewer with OCR text extraction for prior-art documents and
office actions. - DOCX viewer and Markdown-to-PDF export for work products.
Platform
- FlowLeap account sign-in for backend access, with a free tier for patent
data. - Agent sessions window for long-running, reviewable agent work.
- macOS builds (Apple Silicon and Intel) are code-signed, notarized, and
stapled. Windows installers (system and per-user) are Authenticode-signed.
