Protecting Your IP: Why ScaleIP's AI Doesn't Learn from Your Data
We get it. Everything is “AI-powered” and “AI-driven” all of a sudden. Some industries are swift to adopt it, and it seems like every tech company has an AI strategy now. Other industries may be moving a little more slowly, for a lot of completely valid reasons.
For the IP industry, concerns about data privacy are top of mind when considering any sort of AI tooling. Adopting any kind of new technology can be a big decision, but especially when IP security is potentially at stake.
At ScaleIP, we may be an AI-first company technologically, but we’re an industry-first company when it comes to our foundation of trust. There’s a lot of information out there, and we’re here to help IP professionals break it down in a way that makes sense, while also equipping you with the tools you need to supercharge your IP commercialization.
That’s why we’ve built our platform to ensure your data remains yours—secure, private, and completely under your control. When we say ScaleIP’s AI models don’t “learn” from your data, we mean it. Here’s how we safeguard your intellectual property every step of the way.
How AI Training Works (Without Our Enterprise-Grade Security)
Before diving into how ScaleIP operates, it’s essential to understand the risks of AI training when enterprise-grade security, contracts, or proprietary models are absent. Many free or low-cost AI tools come with hidden trade-offs—and your data could be the price you’re paying.
Ever heard the expression “If it’s free, you’re the product”? It’s catchy for a reason. When you use these tools, your inputs may be retained to improve their models. While this can make the AI smarter over time, it also means sensitive information like customer data or confidential projects could be stored and potentially accessed by others if you’re not careful.
Such practices might not always be explicitly disclosed, making it crucial to conduct thorough due diligence before onboarding with any AI-enabled software. Always review the terms of service and privacy policies to understand:
What happens to the data you input.
Whether your data is used to train models accessible to other users.
How long the data is retained and who has access to it.
By scrutinizing these details, you can protect your organization from unintended data exposure or IP risks.
Lucky for you, ScaleIP sets itself apart with a commitment to security and transparency.
Your Data, Your Control
When you use ScaleIP, you’re leveraging a powerful, out-of-the-box solution that integrates seamlessly into your workflow. One of our core commitments is that no proprietary customer input is ever used to train our AI models or any third-party integrations. Unlike some platforms that use user data to improve their algorithms, we ensure your data is processed securely without ever being repurposed.
With ScaleIP, you have full control over your data, from upload to search to storage. Here’s how we break it down:
Data Processing, Retention, and Usage
We frequently hear questions like, “You say the data isn’t saved, so why is my search still there?” This brings up an important but slightly technical distinction between platform retention and model retention. Here’s the difference.
Platform Retention: This refers to saved searches and data you intentionally store within ScaleIP for your convenience. For example, saved searches allow you to revisit your work and streamline future queries. Your saved technology data is securely stored in an isolated system, separate from our core AI models.
Model Retention: This refers to data being retained by the underlying AI models to improve their learning. For ScaleIP, this means things like patent, company, and contact information we’ve collected from various reputable sources - not you. Our platform allows you to explore this data with ease, helping you identify potential partners for your intellectual property. This external data is aggregated to provide you with actionable insights while keeping your proprietary information safe.
By clearly separating these two concepts, we ensure transparency and give you complete control over how your data is handled.
How We Ensure Compliance with Enterprise-Grade Standards
ScaleIP’s enterprise partnerships with leading AI providers like OpenAI and Anthropic include strict contractual guarantees to ensure that any data sent to their models for processing is never retained or used for training. Your data remains secure, private, and entirely under your control.
Why This Matters for You
When you’re dealing with sensitive intellectual property, data privacy isn’t just a feature—it’s a necessity. By using ScaleIP, you can confidently harness the power of AI without worrying about unintended consequences like IP leakage or unauthorized data retention.
Here’s what sets ScaleIP apart:
Transparency: We’re upfront about how your data is processed, stored, and protected.
Control: You decide what happens to your data, with no hidden surprises.
Security: We ensure enterprise-grade protection through leading AI partnerships and strict adherence to top data and security practices, safeguarding your proprietary information.
