Solve 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.
