Terms of Service
Effective October 17, 2026
In short: Patentology is a professional tool for registered patent practitioners. It does not give legal advice, its outputs must be reviewed by a qualified professional, your matters remain yours, and iMobiMedia LLC provides the service as is, with liability limited as set out below.
1. Agreement
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern access to and use of Patentology, including the website, web application, software and related services (together, the "Service"), provided by iMobiMedia LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company ("iMobiMedia LLC", "we", "us"). By creating an account, accessing or using the Service you agree to these Terms. If you use the Service on behalf of a firm or other organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind it, and "you" includes that organization.
2. Who may use the Service
The Service is intended for registered patent attorneys, registered patent agents, and personnel working under their supervision. You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service complies with the rules of professional conduct, USPTO rules and any other obligations that apply to you.
3. Not legal advice; no attorney-client relationship
iMobiMedia LLC is not a law firm and does not practice law. The Service provides software-generated analysis, drafts, scores, classifications, references and suggestions ("Outputs") to assist qualified professionals. Outputs are not legal advice, are not opinions on patentability, validity, infringement or freedom to operate, and may be incomplete or wrong. No attorney-client, agent-client or fiduciary relationship is created between you (or your clients) and iMobiMedia LLC. You are solely responsible for independently reviewing and verifying every Output, including every citation to statutes, rules, the MPEP, USPTO guidance and case law, before relying on it or submitting anything to any office or court.
4. Artificial intelligence features
Some features use machine-learning models, including models operated by third-party providers. Outputs may contain errors, omissions or fabricated content. Probability scores and availability labels are statistical estimates based on text features and the data searched; they are not predictions you should rely on without professional judgment. Where your workspace enables AI drafting, content you submit may be sent to our model providers solely to generate Outputs for you, under terms that prohibit them from using it to train their models. Your administrator can disable AI drafting for your workspace.
5. Your account
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity under your account. Notify us promptly at VIP@imobimedia.com of any unauthorized use. We may suspend accounts that we reasonably believe are compromised or used in violation of these Terms.
6. Your content and confidentiality
"Customer Content" means invention disclosures, claims, office actions, documents and other materials you submit. As between you and us, you retain all rights in Customer Content. You grant iMobiMedia LLC a limited, non-exclusive license to host, process, transmit and display Customer Content only as needed to provide, secure and support the Service for you. We treat Customer Content as confidential, do not sell it, do not publish it, and do not use it to train models made available to other customers without your written consent. You represent that you have the rights and any client consents needed to submit Customer Content, and you are responsible for deciding whether particular material is appropriate to submit.
7. Acceptable use
You will not: (a) use the Service to violate any law, regulation or professional rule; (b) submit content you have no right to submit; (c) attempt to access other customers' data or probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the Service; (d) reverse engineer, decompile or copy the Service except as permitted by law; (e) resell or provide the Service to third parties outside your organization; (f) use the Service to build a competing product; or (g) interfere with or overload the Service.
8. Third-party data and services
The Service may draw on public and third-party sources, including USPTO data, patent databases and practitioner rosters, and on third-party infrastructure and model providers. We do not control and are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness or availability of third-party data. Practitioner information is drawn from public records; inclusion is not an endorsement, and you are responsible for verifying a practitioner's current registration and suitability.
9. Intellectual property
The Service, including its software, models, scoring methods, design, text and the Patentology name and marks, is owned by iMobiMedia LLC or its licensors and is protected by intellectual-property laws. Subject to these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to use the Service for your internal professional purposes. Outputs generated for you may be used by you and your clients without restriction, subject to Section 3. Feedback you give us may be used without obligation to you.
10. Fees
Fees, if any, are set out in your order or plan. Unless stated otherwise, fees are non-refundable and exclusive of taxes. We may change fees for future terms with reasonable notice.
11. Disclaimers
The Service and all Outputs are provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, iMobiMedia LLC disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy and uninterrupted or error-free operation. iMobiMedia LLC does not warrant that any application will be allowed, that any patent will issue or be valid or enforceable, or that any Output is complete or correct.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, iMobiMedia LLC and its members, managers, employees and suppliers will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, patent rights, priority dates or business opportunities, arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms, however caused and under any theory of liability, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. iMobiMedia LLC's total liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms will not exceed the greater of the fees you paid for the Service in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim or one hundred U.S. dollars.
13. Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless iMobiMedia LLC and its members, managers and employees from claims, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your Customer Content, your use of Outputs, your filings and advice to clients, or your breach of these Terms.
14. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these Terms, non-payment, legal requirement or risk to the Service or other users. On termination, your right to use the Service ends; on request made within 30 days we will make Customer Content available for export, after which we may delete it. Sections 3, 6, 9 and 11 through 17 survive termination.
15. Changes
We may update these Terms. If a change is material we will give notice through the Service or by email before it takes effect. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
16. Governing law and venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. The state and federal courts located in the State of Wyoming have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or the Service, and each party consents to that jurisdiction.
17. General
These Terms, together with any order or plan, are the entire agreement between you and iMobiMedia LLC about the Service. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of assets. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
