Daniel Ruskin, a former Coinbase engineer, has launched Inventex, a startup that seeks to streamline the patent application process using AI and licensed attorneys. Founded in December 2024, the Salt Lake City-based company promises to expedite patent filings significantly, reportedly achieving results in days instead of months. After raising $2.4 million in pre-seed funding, Inventex is gaining traction with its innovative approach, which combines technical expertise and legal oversight. Ruskin believes this model can revolutionize patent law, making it more accessible for innovators and startups.
