# Fearn

> Fearn is the AI-native patent prosecution firm built for startups. It pairs former Big Law patent attorneys with proprietary, hallucination-resistant AI models built in-house by PhD computer scientists to take an invention from disclosure to a filing-ready provisional or non-provisional patent draft in minutes rather than the 50+ hours typical of traditional firms. Fearn self-hosts its entire AI infrastructure (no third-party model APIs) to keep invention disclosures confidential. Founded 2025, San Francisco. Backed by Kindred Ventures and a16z speedrun. Note: Fearn is a services company and does not publish a public developer API.
