Prompting your AI assistant

See how it works

Ask your AI assistant a question about patent or design renewals, using a prompt like the examples below. Every answer comes from iPify's own sourced and verified data, not just what your AI assistant can find online. Then ask your assistant to turn the data into a report, a chart or a downloadable spreadsheet, with the sources included.

Pasted · EP family filed 2019-03-14, granted 2025-11-05 · DE, FR, GB, IT, NL

What will renewing this family cost through 2029?

iPify Checking the case facts and fee rules Priced 20 renewal events

Assistant

I asked iPify to price the family, one European grant validated in Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and the Netherlands. Its answer below keeps all twenty renewal events, totals, timing, assumptions, and source revision together, including this year's annuities, still payable in their grace periods.

European family renewal forecast

Twenty official renewal fees across five validations total €6,280.58 between 2026 and 2029.

iPify Priced 100 cases over a ten-year horizon

Assistant

iPify priced all 100 cases: 905 official renewal fees falling due through 2036, totalling ≈ EUR 417,097.61 across nine currencies, with each case's deadlines and grace periods on its own line. The full result is below; from here you can drop lapsing cases or change entity status and re-price the decade.

Did you have to take any assumptions?

iPify Listed 226 assumptions

Assistant

Yes: 226, and every one is on the ledger. Two kinds. For cases not yet granted, iPify estimated the missing lifecycle dates (grant, allowance, grant notice) to place the post-grant renewals. Where the CSV did not carry a fee-driving fact, it defaulted one and said so: entity status to regular, claim counts to ten, license of right to no, e-filing rates. Give me a real value for any of them and I re-run the forecast.

Questions

Got a question?

We have answered the most common questions below. If yours is not here, get in touch.

A remote MCP server. MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is the open standard that lets assistants like Claude and ChatGPT connect securely to outside tools and data, so no custom integration is needed. Connect it and your assistant draws on iPify's maintained fee and deadline data for patent and design renewals directly in the conversation.

No. You do not need an iPify account to use the server from your assistant. Sign in with your email and you will receive a one-time password; that does not open an account. If you do have an iPify account, you can also access total renewal costs, including iPify's service fees, for your clients' cases from within your assistant. An iPify account is free. Learn more about our IP maintenance service.

Ask your AI assistant to turn the data returned by iPify into the output you need: a client report, a spreadsheet, a chart or another visual. For example, ask it to create a downloadable spreadsheet or a report with the sources and assumptions included. The available file formats depend on your assistant. You do not need to extract the example panel to work with the data.

The iPify MCP server is built on the Model Context Protocol, an open standard, so it should work with any MCP-compatible assistant, not just the ones listed here. We have written setup instructions for Claude and ChatGPT, since that is what most of our clients use today. Using something else? Get in touch and we will help you get it connected.
