Write for Patentlyze

Patentlyze publishes plain-English breakdowns of Big Tech patent filings every week, plus articles on the patent races behind them. We take guest posts and expert commentary from people who work in the field: patent attorneys, engineers, founders, analysts, and academics.

Guest posts we publish

  • Analysis of a patent race: who is filing what, and what it means
  • What a specific filing means for a market or a product category
  • How the technology in a filing actually works, explained for a general reader
  • IP explainers for founders and engineers
  • Data pieces built on public patent filings

800 to 1,500 words, original, and not published anywhere else.

Expert commentary

A two to four sentence quote on a specific new filing: what a claim actually covers, why it matters, or what it would take to build. We send you filings worth commenting on before they publish.

What you get

  • Your name, title, and company on the article
  • A link to your site or professional profile
  • Readers who care about exactly your field
  • Your article in the blog, the site feeds, and site search

Guidelines

  • Plain English. A smart reader outside your field should follow every sentence.
  • Specific. Name the filings, the companies, and the claims you are talking about.
  • Original. We do not run pieces that have appeared elsewhere.
  • The byline is for your company. The body is for the reader.
  • We edit for length and clarity, never for meaning. We choose what runs.
