BriefCatch Acquires WordRake and Its Patented Editing Technology

February 13, 2026
BriefCatch has acquired WordRake’s core product and technology assets, including twelve U.S. patents, combining two established tools for legal writing improvement. The deal integrates WordRake’s in-line editing technology with BriefCatch’s AI-assisted document analysis.

BriefCatch has acquired WordRake’s core product and technology assets, including twelve U.S. patents and its patented editing algorithms, announced in a press release. The transaction combines WordRake’s sentence-level clarity and concision tools with BriefCatch’s document-level legal writing analysis.

The acquisition unites two widely used writing platforms designed to improve legal and professional writing quality while maintaining attorney control over edits. WordRake’s in-line editing software, integrated into Microsoft Word and Outlook, identifies unnecessary words and refines sentence structure. BriefCatch’s AI-assisted platform analyzes organization and persuasion in legal documents.

WordRake will continue to operate separately in the near term, with existing licenses honored and ongoing product support. A roadmap for future integration has been outlined, and WordRake CEO Scott Johns will join BriefCatch as a Strategic Advisor.

The move expands BriefCatch’s workflow-embedded editing capabilities for law firms, courts, and agencies, reinforcing its focus on clarity and precision in legal writing.
