Legit Patents

Legit (listed by Seedcamp as "Legit Patents", 2016 cohort, legit.ai) was a Cambridge, Massachusetts startup applying natural-language processing to scientific and patent literature, which it developed into an on-demand expert network for the life sciences. Its product let pharmaceutical, biotech and medical-device teams search a corpus the company described as more than two million experts backed by roughly forty million data points, then pay a flat fee per reply to message key opinion leaders directly instead of scheduling calls — marketed for R&D, business development and licensing (BD&L), strategic alliances and integration management. The company is no longer operating: substantive legit.ai content disappears from the web archive after 2021, its LinkedIn company page returns HTTP 404, and the legit.ai domain is now parked on GoDaddy/Afternic and listed for sale (Afternic nameservers, a null MX record and an SPF "-all" policy). No public API, developer portal, documentation or machine-readable specification was ever published; see review.yml for the full probe record.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Legit Patents is tracked in the API Evangelist network. This page is the human-readable profile that sits on top of the machine-readable index we maintain at apis.io.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Legit Patents scores 0.0/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance. Every facet and dimension name is a link: it opens that measurement's page on APIs.io, where the rating runs across the whole catalog — the exact checks that feed it, how every profiled provider distributes on it, and who is at the top of it.

Review

Legit Patents is in the network as a tracked entity. We haven't yet indexed a public API surface for it — when one is published, the artifacts, score, and agent-readiness read will appear here automatically. The source repository is where that profile is built.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of Legit Patents, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
