DeepInvent AI Aims to Automate Patent Creation
Startup DeepInvent AI is partnering with companies to invent novel intellectual property at a fraction of the typical cost and time. The company claims its platform can generate IP 1,000 times faster and automatically draft patent applications. DeepInvent AI has also used its own technology to patent improvements to its system architecture.
- The company was founded in 2025 by CEO Dr. Marcus Weller, a cognitive scientist and U.S. government advisor on AI, alongside CTO Aljo Rakita and Chief Legal Officer Mitch Weller. In its first week after launch, the platform generated over 2,000 novel inventions for early adopters, which include startups and Fortune 500 companies in sectors like biotech, defense, and energy. - DeepInvent's technology is built on a "compound AI system" that combines specialized models and cognitive heuristics to emulate how human innovators reason across different disciplines to forecast and generate new inventions. This approach moves beyond simply summarizing existing data to predictively modeling future innovations. - The Turkish government is actively fostering a domestic AI ecosystem through its National Technology Initiative, which includes a new $10 billion venture fund to support AI and data processing startups until 2030. This initiative aims to develop sovereign data centers and cloud infrastructure to reduce reliance on foreign technology. - In Turkey, the patent registration process typically takes 18 to 36 months. As of January 2026, the initial patent application filing fee with the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TÜRKPATENT) is TRY 620,00, with additional costs for patent certificate issuance (TRY 3.800,00) and potential European patent validation (TRY 25.930,00). - While some Turkish law firms are beginning to integrate AI for legal research and automating administrative tasks, there is currently no specific legal framework in Turkey for patenting inventions generated by AI. Applications are evaluated under existing patent regulations. - Venture capital funds in Turkey, such as QNBEYOND Ventures and those under the Türkiye Technology Fund, are actively investing in AI, deeptech, and SaaS startups. The government's 2030 Industry and Technology Strategy aims to grow the valuation of Turkish tech startups to $100 billion, supported by initiatives like the Türkiye Technology Fund (TTF), which invests in VC funds focused on AI and deeptech. - For technology companies in Turkey, significant government incentives are available, including an 80% deduction on profits from software and data analysis services exported to foreign clients, effectively lowering the corporate tax rate to around 5%. Further tax exemptions are offered to companies operating within designated Technoparks. - The broader Turkish strategy includes the "Turkish Large Language Basic Model Sectoral Adaptation Project Call" to encourage the development of domestic AI solutions and the "Turcorn 100" program, which provides support to startups with unicorn potential.
