Discover 7 top AI tools for smarter prior art search, ranked and reviewed for patent professionals seeking innovation and accuracy

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve the legal profession, patent attorneys find themselves at a critical inflection point. While generative AI tools are becoming ubiquitous in day-to-day tasks, replacing Google Search for many, the patent space presents unique challenges, particularly around precision, consistency, as well as professional and educated judgment.

From AI-assisted claim drafting to the future of inventorship and evolving legal standards under §101 and §112, this year’s AIPLA Spring Meeting in Minneapolis spotlighted the pressing issues shaping patent law in the age of generative tools.

In AIPLA’s closing plenary - Integrating AI in your Practice to Innovate, to assist and to survive the Changing Legal Landscape - these challenges were brought into focus by Michael Atlass (Sr. Director & Legal Counsel, Qualcomm), Ian Clouse (Partner, Holland and Hart), John McBroom (Open Technology Counsel, IBM), and Ben Siders (Practice Group Leader, Lewis Rice), revealing clear opportunities for patent practitioners.

AI adoption often seems daunting, but with Solve Intelligence, it doesn’t have to be. Attorneys can start using the platform right away -  no need to change existing workflows. 

We’re excited to share that Solve Intelligence will be exhibiting at the AIPLA Spring Meeting 2025, taking place May 13–15 in Minneapolis!

The AIPLA Spring Meeting brings together proven IP leaders, strategists, practitioners and peers. Many of them are judges; others are well-respected industry leaders who know what you need to know. We’re proud to be joining the conversation and showcasing how AI for patents can transform the way patent professionals work.
