Feature Update: AI Track Changes

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more integrated into professional workflows, the need for transparency in AI-assisted tasks is increasingly important. One key area where this applies is the patent industry, where accuracy and traceability are critical. To support this, we are introducing a new feature: AI Track Changes, designed to provide clear insights into how AI-generated suggestions and edits are being made to your patent applications, Office action responses, and other patent documents.

Feature Update: AI Track Changes

How AI Track Changes Works

The AI Track Changes feature operates similarly to traditional track changes functionality found in word processing software but tailored specifically for AI-assisted workflows. When using tools like Solve's Patent Drafting Copilot or‍ Solve's Patent Prosecution Copilot, this feature tracks and highlights every change or suggestion made by the AI, allowing users to easily review AI contributions. Whether it’s a simple edit or a more complex completion of a section, all AI-generated actions are documented for complete transparency.

For patent professionals, the ability to clearly identify the AI’s input enhances review processes, ensuring that human users can evaluate and validate the AI’s contributions with confidence. This feature helps professionals manage and maintain control over content accuracy in patent applications, claims, and legal documents.

Enhancing Transparency in AI-Powered Workflows

One of the most important aspects of this update is its focus on transparency. The ability to track AI-generated changes ensures that users can distinguish between their own contributions and those generated by AI. This distinction is critical in industries like patent law, where precision and accountability are paramount.

By offering a clear visual representation of AI-driven modifications, the AI Track Changes feature supports more thorough reviews. Patent professionals can now quickly identify where AI tools have impacted the content and make informed decisions on whether to accept, reject, or further refine those changes. This heightened transparency also ensures that AI tools can be integrated into workflows without introducing ambiguity or uncertainty.

Strengthening Collaboration Between AI and Professionals

The introduction of AI Track Changes reflects a broader trend towards more seamless collaboration between AI and human users. As AI continues to play a larger role in knowledge-based fields, maintaining a clear record of its contributions will be critical to ensuring quality and accountability in outputs.

For patent professionals, this feature allows for more controlled integration of AI into their work. Tools like the Solve's Patent Copilot are designed to enhance productivity and streamline the drafting process, and with AI Track Changes, users can confidently oversee how AI contributes, making sure that all changes align with the required legal and technical standards.

Conclusion

The AI Track Changes feature is a step forward in creating more transparent and accountable AI-driven workflows. By clearly delineating AI-generated edits and suggestions, this feature supports more accurate and reliable document drafting in the patent industry. As AI continues to evolve, features like this will be essential in ensuring that professionals maintain control and clarity in AI-assisted tasks, contributing to more efficient and trustworthy outcomes.

Potter Clarkson Enhances Patent Practice with Solve Intelligence

Solve Intelligence is deployed at Potter Clarkson as a practitioner-led platform, designed to enhance - not replace - the expertise of experienced patent attorneys. The firm uses the technology primarily at a senior level, where skilled practitioners are able to prompt and interrogate the system effectively to guide high-quality outputs.

By combining advanced AI capability with deep technical and legal experience, the platform enables senior attorneys to work more efficiently while focusing their time and judgement on strategic advice, complex analysis and client value. This reflects the firm’s long-standing philosophy that technology should strengthen the role of the practitioner, not substitute professional expertise.

“At Potter Clarkson, our priority is delivering technically rigorous and strategically sound advice to our clients. We use Solve Intelligence as a tool in the hands of experienced patent attorneys - professionals who understand how to guide, challenge and refine AI-generated outputs. It allows our senior teams to concentrate on the aspects of drafting and prosecution where their judgement adds the greatest value, while maintaining full control over quality and client strategy.”

Peter Finnie, Partner, Potter Clarkson

Since rolling out Solve Intelligence’s Patent Copilot, the firm has tailored the platform to reflect its established house styles and drafting standards. This customisation reduces administrative burden and supports consistency across teams, enabling practitioners to engage with AI efficiently without compromising on quality, client-specific requirements, or the firm’s distinctive approach.

Reflections from IPWatchdog: Masterclass on AI Prompt Engineering for Patent Workflows

On February 5, 2026, Solve Intelligence hosted a masterclass with IPWatchdog on AI prompt engineering for patent workflows. Nearly 750 practitioners registered from across the world.

The level of experience in the room was striking: 75% of attendees had more than 11 years of patent experience, and over 40% had more than 20 years. A clear indication that decision-makers are staying on top of the latest trends and educational content on AI.

Key insights

  • Senior patent decision-makers are actively learning AI with 750 registrants and deep experience
  • AI is broadly permitted with most respondents reporting approval or active policy evaluation
  • Prompt engineering drives ROI with templates and structured instructions improving output quality

Client confidentiality in the age of AI: best practices for patent professionals

AI 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.
