The decisions come in an order. Most programs find that out late.

DocsJD is one console for the patent, FDA and trade-secret decisions a medical device program has to make — in the right sequence, with owners and dates attached, before a disclosure makes the decision for you.

What's inside
01

Disclosure Gate

Log what's about to go public before it does. Anything already out gets its filing windows computed — the U.S. gives a year, most of Europe gives nothing.

02

§112 Readiness

Score a specification against the six categories examiners now name in written-description rejections. The missing detail is usually already in your FDA file.

03

Secrecy Map

Every feature in one of four columns: disclose to FDA, disclose in the patent, keep secret, already public. Anything in two at once gets flagged.

04

One-Page Portfolio

Ten questions that turn a pile of filings into the page your board actually asks for, each with an owner and a decision date.

05

Invention Harvest

Clearance isn't the end of inventing. Milestones, model updates and complaint investigations get harvested instead of forgotten.

The primer

Navigating the U.S. MedTech Frontier

A practical guide to patents, FDA approval, trade secrets and IP strategy for device developers — including a U.S.-entry roadmap for companies coming from outside the country, an AI invention-disclosure checklist, and the portfolio review questions this console is built around.

“Patent law and FDA law describe the same product from different legal perspectives. They should be coordinated from the beginning.”
