August 6, 2026Page White Farrer Adopts Solve Intelligence for AI-Assisted Patent DraftingPage White Farrer Adopts Solve Intelligence and Solve's AI Templates Page White Farrer ("PWF"), a specialist intellectual property firm with a longstanding focus on technology-driven innovation, has selected Solve Intelligence to support patent application drafting following an extensive evaluation of available AI tools. The firm has initially deployed the platform within its technology-focused patent teams, supporting work across sectors such as AI, software, telecommunications, electronics, semiconductors and engineering. The firm's objective was not to automate legal judgement or replace attorney expertise, but to accelerate the preparation of high-quality first drafts of patent applications. By combining AI-assisted drafting with custom templates tailored to the firm's preferred drafting approaches, Solve Intelligence helps attorneys move from an initial claim set to a reviewable first draft more efficiently while maintaining consistency and technical accuracy. For this partnership, PWF's primary focus was on configuring the platform around the firm's own drafting conventions, client preferences and established best practices, ensuring that the technology supports the way its attorneys already work.Read article

August 5, 2026The Honest Risks of Using AI in Patent ProsecutionAI is changing how patent prosecution gets done, and the upside is real. So are the downsides: hallucinated citations, confidentiality exposure, export-control pitfalls, and prosecution-history estoppel. This is an honest account of the risks of AI patent software in prosecution, and what actually reduces each one. Key takeaways Anyone presenting AI-assisted content to the USPTO must reasonably review it; relying on the tool's accuracy alone is not enough. Courts have already sanctioned attorneys for AI-hallucinated citations, and similar risk applies to office-action responses and PTAB briefs. The USPTO warns that AI tools on foreign servers can raise export-control, foreign-filing-license, and national-security problems. Grounded citations, exposed reasoning, zero data retention, and attorney oversight are what materially reduce AI risk in patent prosecution.Read article

August 4, 2026Maiwald Chooses Solve Intelligence for Selected AI-Supported IP WorkflowsSolve Intelligence is proud to share that Maiwald, one of Germany’s largest and most progressive intellectual property firms, works with Solve Intelligence on selected AI-supported workflows in its patent and legal practice groups. Following an evaluation period during which selected functionalities were assessed for approved internal use cases, Maiwald and Solve have formed an enterprise partnership for 2026. The rollout reflects the same careful approach Maiwald brings to its client work. Solve enables customers in Europe to process data on servers located within Europe and holds recognized information-security certifications. In addition, Solve offers contractual commitments designed to protect confidential professional information in line with applicable statutory confidentiality obligations and professional conduct requirements. Against that background, any use of AI-supported tools took place only within approved governance structures and under applicable professional, contractual, confidentiality and data-protection requirements. That balance of innovation and professional judgment is characteristic of Maiwald. The firm has spent decades setting a standard for IP work in Europe: rigorous prosecution, a formidable contentious practice, and interdisciplinary teams of patent attorneys and attorneys-at-law working side by side. The firm approached AI the same way, methodically, with a clear sense of where it adds leverage and where an experienced attorney’s judgment remains irreplaceable.Read article

August 3, 2026PTAB Case Studies of AI Disclosure Requirements: Part IIThis article is the second of a series of Patent Trial & Appeal Board (PTAB) case studies (see Part I ), which aims to inform applicants’ approach to satisfying the written description and enablement requirements for patenting artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies.Read article

July 29, 2026How Successful Patent Practitioners Are Putting AI to WorkThe most effective patent practitioners are already using AI patent drafting to draft faster, catch claim inconsistencies earlier, and free up hours for the strategic work that actually wins allowances. Key takeaways AI patent drafting tools can reduce application drafting time by up to 80 percent, with Solve Intelligence customers consistently reporting 50 percent or greater efficiency gains across drafting and prosecution Roughly 9 out of 10 utility patent applications receive at least one office action rejection, so prosecution efficiency matters as much as drafting speed Solo attorneys use AI to match larger law firms on turnaround speed and client capacity The strongest reported results come from iterative AI–attorney collaboration, with practitioners directing the process and owning the final work productRead article

July 28, 2026Adopting AI in Patent Work: A Practical Playbook for IP TeamsSolve Intelligence works with over 700+ patent teams as they bring AI into daily practice, and the same pattern shows up again and again: recognising that AI helps is easy, but building consistent, team-wide use is not. Adoption tends to stall for a handful of reasons, from informal early experiments to unclear decision making, and a promising trial can fade out without anyone establishing whether the tool or the rollout was at fault. This playbook lays out the process that gets a team from first experiment to settled habit, with the attorney's judgment in control at every step.Read article

July 27, 2026How AI Brings Patent Intelligence Into Every DecisionAI makes it practical to rerun patent intelligence as products and patent rights develop. For example, at concept stage, broad freedom-to-operate screening identifies the rights that merit attention. As the design matures, selected patents are escalated for feature-by-feature claim charts, while scheduled monitoring refreshes the analysis when claims are amended or an application proceeds to grant. This contrasts with the traditional approach, in which landscapes, FTO reviews, and portfolio analyses were commissioned as separate projects at fixed stages. Each took substantial time to complete and was rarely repeated.Read article

July 23, 2026Automated Patent Proofreading: QA Framework for §112The final review before a U.S. patent filing should not be another linear read-through. Rather, it should be a controlled quality-assurance step: a systematic check of the relationships among the claims, specification, and drawings while the full range of corrective options is still available. Done well, pre-filing QA catches errors that are inexpensive to fix at the drafting desk but costly after filing. Done poorly, it can leave the applicant facing an avoidable rejection, a narrowing amendment, a priority problem, or a validity challenge years later. Key Takeaways: Pre-filing is the best time to correct disclosure, claim, and drawing defects without creating new-matter or priority complications. Antecedent basis gaps, contradictory claim dependencies, and terminology drift are the most common pre-filing defects, and all are correctable before filing. Section 112(a) review is substantive, not clerical: a broad range or functional limitation may warrant scrutiny even when the claim reads cleanly. Automated patent proofreading identifies candidate defects for attorney review but does not substitute for legal judgment on claim scope, support, or strategy.Read article

July 14, 2026Solve Intelligence and HGF Partner to Deliver Custom AI Patent Drafting WorkflowsSolve Intelligence is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with HGF , one of Europe’s leading intellectual property firms. The collaboration is focused on a clear objective: customising AI-driven drafting workflows to meet the specific needs of HGF and some of its clients. Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach, HGF is working closely with Solve Intelligence to shape how the drafting platform behaves across different technologies, client preferences, and drafting styles. The built-in, customisable features available in Solve’s platform are what makes this possible. "We evaluated the field carefully before committing. Solve Intelligence delivered the drafting quality our attorneys demand and integrated seamlessly into how they already work. We are investing in the foundation for HGF's future practice." Richard Hodkinson, Chief Technology Officer at HGFRead article

July 13, 2026How Much of Your Patent Practice Should You Codify?Put your time into more strategic codification and judgment that sets your work apart, and lets a specialist carry and maintain the shared foundation for your patent work. AI is changing how in-house teams and outside counsel approach patent work. One reason is that it has raised the payoff for turning a practice into AI templates, instructions, and review criteria that run at scale. Let’s call that codification. A purpose-built platform already encodes a great deal of best practice out of the box, and a team can layer its own on top with custom AI templates and instructions. So the real question is not whether to codify, but how much to do yourself and how much to leave to a platform built for the work. There is no fixed formula, only a sensible division of labor. Key Takeaways: • AI has raised the payoff for codifying patent practice: a written standard now guides AI-assisted drafting and review directly, not just junior training. • A purpose-built patent platform encodes a large body of best practice out of the box, so a team can run on that foundation without writing its own. • Solve Intelligence maintains its shared foundation across more than 700 IP teams, keeping it current far more efficiently than any single team could alone. • The strategic choice is how much of your own practice to codify on top; scarce expert time belongs on the standards and judgment that differentiate your work. • A named professional still signs off on every filing regardless of the tools used, so accountability for the result never moves to the AI.Read article

July 8, 2026What FICPI's ABC Meeting 2026 Revealed About AI-Ready Patent PracticeSolve Intelligence participated as a sponsor of FICPI’s ABC Meeting 2026 in Nashville, with CEO and Co-founder Chris Parsonson , demonstrating the practical application of a purpose-built patent AI platform. Patent attorneys and litigators convened for a key session addressing a central question: what is required for AI to be ready for patent practice? Key Takeaways: Solve Intelligence supports the full patent lifecycle across 700+ IP firms, from invention disclosure through litigation. One firm that adopted Solve Intelligence mid-fiscal year exceeded its billing targets by $1 million by reallocating AI-saved time to higher-value work. In-house teams now require outside counsel to use AI tools, making AI fluency a firm selection criterion rather than a differentiator. Attorneys report that ROI is not simply about increasing speed, but about reallocating the time saved to higher-value strategies, cross-sell analysis, and client insights.Read article

July 3, 2026How Solve Intelligence Expands the Offerings of Small Patent FirmsSolve Intelligence cuts the time attorneys spend on patent work by half . This lets a solo practitioner or small patent firm widen their offering without widening headcount. Work that a small practice once had to outsource can now be brought in-house, including creating patent drawings and prior art searching. The results are faster turnaround and higher margins for small firms. These time savings also free up capacity to offer ancillary services like landscaping, freedom-to-operate analysis, and infringement detection, work that was historically hard to do for small firms because of the manual effort involved. Key Takeaways: AI lets small firms bring outsourced work back in-house, including patent drawings and prior art search, improving margins and shortening turnaround. AI makes patent attorneys more productive , freeing capacity for landscaping, FTO, and infringement detection work. Patent work is structurally complex, so purpose-built patent AI, not a general chatbot, is what delivers reliable output.Read article

When the firm decided to integrate AI into its practice, it looked for a platform that could deliver enterprise-grade capability. They chose Solve Intelligence. Key Takeaways: Hansson Thyresson has adopted Solve Intelligence for patent application drafting, bringing enterprise-grade AI into the firm's workflows. The firm pairs Solve Intelligence with its hands-on, attorney-led service model, keeping practitioners in control of every output. For Hansson Thyresson, Solve Intelligence amplifies attorney expertise, improving work quality and focus on strategic work that matters most to clients.Read article

June 25, 2026Patent Landscape Analysis: How R&D Teams Identify WhitespaceR&D teams use patent landscape analysis to locate uncharted areas of a technology field, assess freedom-to-operate (FTO), and focus development resources on the areas of highest commercial value and broadest potential claim coverage. Key Takeaways: A patent landscape search locates whitespace; a novelty search locates prior art blockers. Patent landscape outputs require contextual analysis; volume alone does not determine opportunity or density. Solve’s Charts tool scans millions of patents from a single file upload and leverages agentic searching, replacing manual iterative keyword & semantic search.Read article

June 24, 2026What IPBC Global 2026 in San Diego Revealed about the Future of IPAt IPBC Global 2026, Solve Intelligence was proud to be a sponsor of the conversations shaping the future of intellectual property. At the conference, we demonstrated how our platform amplifies end-to-end patent workflows, including licensing, litigation, and IP-backed finance. Key Takeaways: Generic LLMs cannot perform the structured legal reasoning and claim analysis that patent licensing and litigation require. AI lowers the cost of analysing portfolios, from claim-to-product mappings to validity analyses, accelerating both sides of licensing negotiations. IP-backed finance, insurance, and M&A due diligence are growing in sophistication and volume. The profession faces a capacity gap that generic AI tools are not designed to close.Read article

June 22, 2026What Is a Freedom to Operate Analysis, and How Does AI Speed It Up?A freedom to operate (FTO) analysis is a claim-by-claim assessment of whether a commercial activity would infringe any third-party patents in the markets where it will take place. AI speeds it up by handling the parts that scale badly by hand: surfacing relevant patents, mapping product features against claims element by element, pulling legal status by jurisdiction, and producing a cited, structured draft for the attorney to review and refine. Key takeaways • FTO analysis determines whether a product infringes third-party patents. • A valid patent on your own invention doesn’t guarantee freedom to operate. • AI compresses the slowest stages of FTO, including search, triage, and element-by-element claim mapping, while the attorney retains the legal judgment and owns the opinion. • Generalist AI and purpose-built patent tools share a surface format; but FTO reliability depends on integration, not interface.Read article

June 19, 2026How to Build an Invalidity Claim Chart: A Practical GuideAn invalidity claim chart is a structured document that maps, for example, each limitation of a patent claim against prior art to show the patent should never have been granted. If you’re defending against infringement allegations, preparing an IPR petition, opposing a European patent, or advising a client on patent risk, knowing how to build one correctly is non-negotiable. Key Takeaways: • A well-built invalidity chart maps every claim limitation to prior art, element by element, with pinpoint citations to the exact column, line, page, or figure. • When IPRs reach a final written decision, the PTAB now finds every challenged claim unpatentable around 70% of the time; and the chart is a key component of getting a petition instituted in the first place. • Solve Intelligence’s Charts generates fully cited, limitation-by-limitation invalidity charts in minutes rather than days, flags weak limitation coverage candidly, and lets attorneys inspect the reasoning behind every mapping.Read article

June 18, 2026LAC 2026: What Generic and Biosimilar IP Teams Think About AIGeneric and biosimilar IP teams are already using AI for prosecution history and FTO work. The live debate is not about adoption, but internal framing of quality and coverage extension without reducing headcount. The teams furthest along chose the former. Key Takeaways: Generic and biosimilar IP teams use AI primarily for prosecution history summaries, invalidity analysis and FTO claim charting. Viewing AI as a quality and coverage extension drives durable internal adoption. General-purpose AI cannot reliably interpret claim scope from prosecution history; patent-specific tools are required.Read article

June 11, 2026EPO G 1/26: How the Coated Steel Strips Case Tests Article 123(2)At Solve Intelligence , we build AI tools purpose-built for patent prosecution and opposition workflows. European teams, including cross-Atlantic firms like HG , use Solve Intelligence to stay ahead of EPO doctrine shifts as they happen. In this article, we cover the three referred questions in G 1/26, the practical implications for prosecution and opposition teams, and what to do before the decision lands. Key takeaways G 1/26 asks whether G 1/24's rule to consult the description extends from patentability assessment to Article 123(2) added matter. The underlying case (T 873/24) turns on whether "ratio of titanium to nitrogen in excess of 3.42" means a weight ratio or a molar ratio. The referral poses three sets of questions: admissibility under Article 112(1), the reach of the description in claim interpretation, and the consequences for Article 123(2). If the Enlarged Board extends G 1/24 to Article 123(2), description-based narrowing applies to added-matter assessment across all European proceedings.Read article

June 8, 2026Patents and Standards 2026: When SEP portfolios outgrow human reviewThe 8th UCL Patents and Standards conference brought together all the key standard essential patent (SEP) players on both the holder and implementer sides. By the end of day two, one technical question kept resurfacing across panels that were nominally discussing other topics. How does anyone actually assess essentiality and validity at the scale modern declared portfolios now reach? At Solve Intelligence , this is the question we have built our platform to answer. Key takeaways At today's portfolio scales, AI is a precondition for SEP essentiality and validity assessment, not an enhancement of human review. Streaming standards are fully in SEP territory, bringing implementers with no licensing history into the same mapping problems as in cellular standards. SEP disputes default to parallel multi-jurisdiction proceedings, requiring position alignment across every forum before the first filing.Read article

June 3, 2026Why Patent Practice Needs Purpose-Built AI: Reflections from Code with ClaudeAnthropic's Code with Claude convened the global community of developers, founders, and researchers building applied AI on Claude.

June 1, 2026UPC Long-Arm Jurisdiction Is Reshaping European Patent LitigationThree years in, the Unified Patent Court is no longer just a faster route through European patent litigation. It is becoming a single venue capable of resolving infringement across the UK, Switzerland, Turkey and Spain in one action. That shift has one source: the CJEU's BSH v Electrolux ruling, and what UPC divisions have done with it since February 2025. The court has issued more than 1,800 decisions, with around 700 new actions a year and 31 already citing BSH. For teams navigating that volume across multiple jurisdictions, AI-assisted research platforms like Solve Intelligence exist for exactly this kind of work.Read article

May 28, 2026AI X IP Thought Leader Exchange with Solve Intelligence, Haynes Boone, and 100+ Leading Voices in IPSolve Intelligence partnered with AmLaw 100 firm Haynes Boone to bring together 100+ senior IP leaders in Silicon Valley for a candid discussion on how AI is being used in patent practice today, and how that's shifting over the next 12 months. The evening was led by Leah Poynter Waterland (Sr. Director, Cisco), Jeff Draeger (Chief Patent Counsel, Intel), David McCombs (Partner and Board Member, Haynes Boone), Tony Capecci (Director of Practice Innovation, Haynes Boone), and Mallun Yen (Founder, Operator Collective; IP leader and Ex-Cisco). The room was 70% in-house, drawing Heads of IP and senior IP leaders from across enterprise software and cloud (Microsoft, IBM, Snowflake), semiconductors (Intel, Applied Materials), life sciences (Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Gilead), mobility and autonomy (Tesla, Waymo), connected devices and networks (Cisco, Samsung Research America), and AI labs (Mistral AI). The remaining 30% were outside counsel from firms including BCLP, Finnegan, Perkins Coie, Procopio, and Skadden. Key Insights Today, Solve supports global IP teams deploying AI agents for large-scale tasks including search across millions of patent and non-patent literature, portfolio analysis on thousands of assets, and claim charting, focussed on transparent source-backed and auditable outputs. Every IP leader in the room had either rolled out an AI patent platform or was in active procurement. Successful AI implementation requires collaboration and trusted long-term partnerships between IP teams, vendors, and outside counsel. Solve CEO Chris Parsonson expects per-user token usage to grow more than 1000x over the next 12 months.Read article

May 27, 2026What the 2026 AI and IP Forum concluded on AI patentsAI inventorship is now settled law across major jurisdictions, and inventive step is the new battleground for AI patents. These were some of the central conclusions of the 2nd AI & IP Forum in Munich. The full-day programme tackled the most pressing questions at the intersection of artificial intelligence and intellectual property. Our CEO, Chris Parsonson , joined a panel on Technology and Security Considerations for AI Systems. Chris leads Solve Intelligence, the purpose-built AI platform for patent professionals, so the panel's themes around sovereign AI, confidentiality , and human-in-the-loop control sit at the centre of our daily work.Read article

May 14, 2026Teva v. Eli Lilly: The Four Drafting Choices That Won $176.5MThe Federal Circuit Panel's April 16, 2026 decision in Teva v. Eli Lilly reinstates a $176.5M verdict and draws a clear distinction under §112 between method-of-treatment and composition claims. The decision highlights the importance of drafting choices, like those made by Teva 2006. Teva shows how much §112 outcomes turn on drafting choices rather than the volume of disclosure. From a specification describing a single humanized antibody, the patentee framed the invention as a method of treatment, anchored the genus to a known biological target, and relied on humanization as routine art within the POSA's knowledge. These are structural choices, made years before litigation, that shape how a patent reads in enforcement decades later. These choices are exactly what purpose-built tools like Solve Intelligence are designed to surface early on, during drafting, when they can be considered consciously and proactively. The alternative may be that issues only become apparent during litigation, when it is often too late to change a decision that was made previously, whether intentionally or not. Key takeaways Teva v. Eli Lilly (Fed. Cir. Apr. 16, 2026) marks the first clear limit on Amgen v. Sanofi. Amgen's §112 calculus does not extend to method-of-treatment claims reciting an antibody genus. Same specification, same genus, yet the antibody claims failed in IPR while the headache claims won at trial. One humanized antibody, a known biological target, and routine humanization techniques were enough to satisfy §112. Four drafting choices won the case: claim category, functional anchoring, routine art, one embodiment. Teva is a re-opening event for life sciences portfolios with genus claims.Read article

May 4, 2026Sughrue Mion Integrates Solve Intelligence into Patent PracticeSughrue Mion has always set the standard for what patent prosecution looks like. Founded in 1957, the firm has obtained more U.S. patents than any other law firm in the world. That record is built on deep technical expertise, disciplined prosecution strategy, and a culture that takes the quality of every work product seriously. When Sughrue decided to integrate AI into patent workflows for select clients, their approach reflected that culture. Sughrue thoughtfully structured its implementation, and demonstrated a clear vision of where technology and AI adds value and where attorney judgment remains irreplaceable. Key Insights Sughrue adopted Solve Intelligence's platform for certain clients across Drafting, Prosecution, and Charts following firm-wide testing, culminating in an enterprise partnership. The rollout was driven by Firm leadership prioritising practitioner education and a structured implementation framework from day one. Solve Intelligence is now integrated into numerous preparation and prosecution workflows, helping Sughrue's attorneys work faster, think more expansively, and deliver higher-quality outcomes for a global client base.Read article

April 29, 2026The Speed-Quality Trade-Off in UPC Provisional MeasuresPreliminary injunctions, or “provisional measures” in Unified Patent Court (UPC) terminology, have become the most consequential procedural tool in European patent litigation. In under three years, the UPC has issued 63 decisions across 88 cases , with filings accelerating year on year. The analytical rigour courts demand has increased at precisely the moment timelines have compressed. For patent teams on both sides, the procedural reality is stark: court-ready claim analysis that once took months must now be produced in days, at a depth that no longer rewards manual workflows. Tools like Solve Intelligence’s Charts are emerging as a response to that structural pressure, compressing the mechanical phases of claim charting while preserving the practitioner-led judgment that courts expect.Read article

April 10, 2026Drafting for the UPC: What Early Equivalents Decisions Tell Us About Claim ScopeThe Unified Patent Court (UPC) has been open since June 2023, but how far claim scope extends beyond literal wording is only now taking shape. The UPC Agreement says nothing about equivalents; Article 2 of the Protocol on Article 69 EPC provides the only legal hook, and what it means in practice is being written case by case, across local divisions with no binding Court of Appeal ruling to anchor them. For practitioners drafting claims today, this is not abstract: it shapes claim structure, functional language choices, and whether your description helps or hurts at enforcement. Solve Intelligence helps practitioners navigate this uncertainty before cases reach court.Read article

April 3, 2026How Solve Intelligence Handles Invention Disclosures and Unstructured DataIf you've been drafting patents for any length of time, you know the real bottleneck is often not the drafting itself. It's the messy inputs that precede it: partial forms, internal review decks, or email threads where the inventive aspects are buried. Getting from that to a coherent starting point for a draft consumes time most practices simply can't afford. AI can perform much of that translation work: extracting what matters, flagging what's missing, and generating the necessary follow-up questions based on holes and shortcomings. But it must operate inside proper confidentiality controls, and its output requires attorney review before going near a draft. This guide covers how that works in practice in Solve Intelligence's platform . Key takeaways The disclosure bottleneck is upstream; AI structures messy inputs before the drafting phase begins. AI extracts features, normalises terminology, surfaces gaps, and generates inventor questions, but attorney review is mandatory. The danger is plausible but fabricated detail, not obvious errors. Watch for AI-generated parameters or 'helpful' specifics. Disclosures contain trade secrets and unpublished IP. Use only tools with verified zero-training, zero-retention policies and enterprise-grade security. A sensible pilot, without client approval, uses anonymised or historical disclosures to define 'good' output and track key metrics over limited timeframe.Read article

March 30, 2026The Shift Has Already Happened: How Legal's Relationship with AI ChangedTwo years ago, the dominant argument in the legal industry was whether AI had any place in the profession at all. That debate is over. Analysts are now calling 2026 the year AI moves from an “interesting tool” to “operational infrastructure” . The speed at which that narrative has changed tells you everything about where the industry is heading. Key takeaways The legal profession's central question has moved from "can we trust this?" to "how do we integrate this properly?" AI adoption across IP practice has risen from 57% in 2023 to 85% in 2025. Firms are not just trialling AI tools, they are expanding its use across full workflows. Practitioners using Solve Intelligence grew ~560% in 2025 alone. Clearer regulatory guidance has removed one of the most significant psychological barriers to adoption. The profile of firms now adopting AI has changed: these are not early experimenters, but some of the most demanding legal professionals in the world.Read article

March 20, 2026The Hidden Cost of Ignoring AI in Patent PracticeAs patent practitioners, the choice to “do nothing” about AI is not a neutral act. Law firms or in-house counsel that delay the adoption of AI may believe they are minimizing risk, but oftentimes they are taking on a different set of less visible, long-term risks. These hidden costs can accumulate quickly, from compounding inefficiencies in traditional patent drafting workflows to missed revenue opportunities that remain untapped without leveraging AI-driven capabilities. So, what can patent practitioners do to stay ahead of the game? Here is what the Solve Intelligence team has seen speaking with thousands of practitioners. Key takeaways Waiting to adopt AI is itself a strategic decision with compounding costs. Manual patent workflows create time, quality, and knowledge bottlenecks that grow over time. Firms already experimenting with AI gain operational insight that late adopters cannot shortcut. Low-risk entry points let practitioners build confidence without compromising legal judgment.Read article

March 19, 2026Why Patent Attorneys Need Purpose-Built AILegal AI platforms are valuable productivity tools, powered by large language models and enriched with legal data sources, firm-specific knowledge, and purpose-built workflows, they perform well on tasks like legal research, document summarisation, and contract or email drafting. But their workflows are optimised for breadth across practice areas, not for the structural, technical, and jurisdictional depth that patent work requires. For IP teams that already have access to a generalist platform, or are trying one out, the natural follow-up question is whether a vertical solution adds enough to justify the investment. At Solve Intelligence, we build AI specifically for patent practitioners. In our experience scaling the platform to over 700+ IP teams , there is no question that patent-specific tooling delivers ROI that generalist platforms alone cannot. This article sets out why. Key takeaways Generalist legal AI tools weren't trained for the structural depth patent work demands. Solve Intelligence is shaped by in-house patent attorneys who joined Solve from firms like Carpmaels & Ransford and Fish & Richardson. Custom templating lets attorneys match output to house style, client/technology area, or jurisdiction. Generalist and patent-specific AI are complementary investments, not competing ones.Read article

March 12, 2026Marbury Law sees 3x-4x efficiency gain from using Solve IntelligenceWhen we sat down with Bob Hansen for this conversation, we knew it would be grounded in both legal depth and real-world business experience. Bob is a founding partner of The Marbury Law Group and has extensive experience across patent prosecution, litigation, licensing, portfolio strategy, and complex IP transactions. But what makes his perspective particularly compelling is that he also brings 20 years of real-world experience as an engineer, program manager, and business executive in Fortune 50 companies and start-ups. He understands firsthand how innovation moves from idea to product, and how intellectual property law fits into that journey. That dual lens is exactly why we wanted to have this discussion. Bob evaluates technology not just as a patent attorney, but as someone who has managed engineering teams, navigated acquisitions and divestitures, raised capital, and built businesses. When someone with that background says AI has been transformative and backs it up with measurable 3 to 4x efficiency gains, it’s worth listening. Key Insights AI adoption requires proof. Bob and his team tested multiple tools before committing, and only moved forward once they saw quantifiable results. 3 to 4x efficiency gains changed the business case. By tracking his own drafting time, Bob demonstrated that AI-enabled workflows made fixed-fee work viable at partner rates. Demonstration drives adoption. Live drafting sessions, client transparency, and side-by-side cost comparisons created full buy-in from both clients and colleagues. Integrated chat removes friction. Keeping research, drafting, and revisions inside one contextual workspace eliminated copy-paste workflows and saved significant time. Context is a force multiplier. AI performs best when it understands the full invention disclosure, file history, and drafting materials in one place. Speed expands strategic value. Faster drafting didn’t just save time - it enabled better coverage, stronger enablement, and real-time responsiveness to client needs. About Marbury Law The Marbury Law Group is a premier mid-size, full-service intellectual property and technology law firm in the Washington, D.C. area, with additional strength in commercial law, litigation, and trademark litigation.

February 27, 2026Client confidentiality in the age of AI: best practices for patent professionalsAI can improve the quality and efficiency of patent work - but it can also create new confidentiality and privilege risks if you don’t control what data is shared, where it’s stored, and who can access it. The good news: you can turn “AI risk” into a repeatable review process that your leadership, IT/security, and risk teams can sign off on with confidence. This guide gives you a practical framework and a due diligence checklist, that you can use to evaluate AI tools for patent workflows without compromising client confidentiality. Key takeaways In patent work, confidentiality failures can jeopardise patent rights—treat inputs as high-risk. Risk is more than training: retention, access, logs, human review, and subprocessors matter. Use data tiers: Tier 0–1 OK; Tier 3 ‘default no’ unless explicitly approved and controlled. Make it auditable: approved use cases, human review, matter separation, and vendor diligence. For further information, read the full guidance below.Read article

February 25, 2026How to Talk to Clients About Using AI in Patent DraftingArtificial intelligence is no longer a theoretical issue in patent drafting, and many firms are already using AI-assisted workflows in some form. The harder question now isn’t whether to use AI, but how to talk to clients about using it. Key insights Focus on better drafting quality, enforceability, and fewer avoidable downstream problems. Walk through data handling so confidentiality and retention protections are easy to trust. Explain inventorship stays human and the attorney remains responsible for every word. Keep the process clear and documented so expectations stay aligned from day one. For some clients, AI usage signals efficiency and modernisation. For others, it raises immediate concerns about confidentiality, inventorship, and quality control. Those concerns are legitimate, so the key is to approach conversations about AI in a way that is structured, transparent, and grounded in professional responsibility. In practice, the most effective discussions with clients will focus on outcomes rather than technology. This article provides a structured framework to use when talking to clients about using AI, such as Solve Intelligence’s Patent Drafting Copilot TM , in patent drafting.Read article

February 23, 2026How to use AI in patent practice: USPTO guidance and compliance tipsAs Artificial Intelligence (AI) and large language models (LLMs) increasingly integrate into legal practices, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued guidance to assist patent attorneys with adopting AI tools in patent drafting, prosecution, and other areas of patent law. In this article, we summarize the key compliance requirements from the USPTO's guidance and explain how Patent Copilot™ helps practitioners meet these obligations while leveraging AI's benefits.Read article

February 20, 2026UK Supreme Court aligns UK software patentability with EPO approachThe UK Supreme Court’s Emotional Perception decision moves UK practice closer to the EPO for computer implemented inventions, including AI. Claims with ordinary hardware will usually avoid the “computer program as such” exclusion, but only technical features can support inventive step. In practice, applicants should focus arguments and evidence on technical contribution and inventive step. Key takeaways UK moves closer to EPO, inventive step becomes the main battleground. Ordinary hardware avoids exclusion, but may not support inventiveness. Only technical features count at inventive step, not business aims. Neural networks are treated as software, no special treatment either way. Draft around technical contribution, measurable effects, and system level impact.Read article

This year’s conversations revealed something important: the question is no longer if AI will influence tech transfer, but instead about how institutions will integrate it.Read article

February 16, 2026PTAB Case Studies of AI Disclosure Requirements: Part IArtificial intelligence (AI) is a fast-evolving field with new technical methods, systems, and products constantly being developed. This growth has also been reflected in the dramatic increase in patent filings for AI-related inventions. According to Patents and Artificial Intelligence: A Primer from the Center for Security and Emerging Technology, more than ten times as many AI-related patent applications were published worldwide in 2019 than in 2013, and the increasing trend has only continued since. Although AI-related patent applications have been on the rise, explicit guidance on patentability requirements have only recently begun to be published by patent offices around the world. Indeed, as a burgeoning field of technology, AI inventions have unique features, such as the importance of training data and the lack of explainability and predictability of trained AI models, that differentiate such innovations from traditional types of computer-implemented inventions (CII). These features raise questions about the interpretation of disclosure requirements, among other patentability requirements, for AI-related inventions. For example, how much information, such as source code, training data sets, or machine learning model architectures, should be provided to satisfy the written description and enablement requirements of Title 35 of the U.S. Code § 112(a) or analogs in other patent jurisdictions? As we await further official guidance from the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) on disclosure requirements for AI-related inventions, we can gather initial indications from recent patent prosecution decisions from the Patent Trial & Appeal Board (PTAB) on such issues. In this article, we study a selection of PTAB appeals decisions for applications for AI-related inventions rejected under § 112. To set the background, we first review a classification of AI inventions and USPTO guidelines on disclosure requirements for computer-implemented inventions. After analyzing three case studies, we conclude with general takeaways and best practices, which emphasize that applicants must disclose specific algorithms and implementation details, not just desired outcomes, to satisfy written description requirements.Read article

February 13, 2026Navigating epi AI Guidelines with Confidence: How Solve Intelligence Supports ComplianceIn 2024, the Institute of Professional Representatives before the European Patent Office (epi) published its Guidelines on the Use of Generative AI in the Work of Patent Attorneys . These Guidelines provide practical guardrails for the responsible use of generative AI in patent practice, reaffirming that professional responsibility, confidentiality, and transparency remain central when AI tools are used. In our earlier blog post , we outlined the key principles set out in the epi Guidelines. Since then, the Guidelines themselves have not changed. However, the use of AI in patent workflows has continued to mature, and so has Solve Intelligence. This update highlights how Solve Intelligence supports compliance with the epi Guidelines in day-to-day practice, focusing on concrete product capabilities and supporting processes.Read article

February 11, 2026Patent Attorneys' Guide to Adopting AI: The First 30 DaysArtificial intelligence is already reshaping patent practice, but adopting it swiftly, efficiently and securely is where most firms get stuck. Patent professionals know the productivity upside to using gen AI tools, yet often get derailed when informal experiments run into real-world problems: client confidentiality concerns, inferior work-product quality, delayed internal approvals, and decision-fatigue. This guide lays out a practical, 30-day plan for adopting AI in patent work, moving from ad hoc trials to a controlled, firm-ready strategy. It shows how you can run a focused pilot, set clear guardrails, train attorneys, and document decisions in a way that satisfies partners, clients, and internal stakeholders.Read article

November 14, 2024How AI is Helping Patent AttorneysDrafting patent applications can be an arduous task. The process often requires several interactions with inventors to extract enough information to start the process, and then begins the exercise of turning that information into a coherent and detailed ~30 page patent specification. This of course takes time (and sometimes more than the proposed/estimated fee for the draft would allow). For this reason, patent drafting is sometimes considered a loss leader by those in private practice. From another perspective, the cost of engaging a patent attorney to draft a patent application can be a huge barrier to the uptake of IP, particularly for start-ups and SMEs. Registered IP rights can mean a great deal to these types of applicants, both in terms of carving out a slice of the market and attractiveness to potential investors. Drafting patent applications has thus historically presented a ‘problem’ to both patent attorneys and their would-be clients. Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the game in this regard. Forward-thinking attorneys that have already started utilising AI, and those using Solve Intelligence’s Patent Drafting Copilot have reported considerable improvements in their drafting practices. Such improvements are capable of tackling the drafting problem, providing benefits to both attorneys and their clients or companies alike. We’ve highlighted some of these improvements below.Read article
