It handles invention disclosures, patents, licensing agreements, compliance workflows, patent and trademark tracking, prosecution deadlines, renewals, and filing management.

Listed integrations include Microsoft Outlook, DocuSign, iEdison, Workday, and Salesforce, and API access is available. Minuet can produce structured document summaries through an OpenAI model deployed via Azure.
