Solve Intelligence is Exhibiting at the AIPLA Spring Meeting 2025

The Enlarged Board of Appeal issued its decision in case G 1/24 on 18 June 2025, concluding that "The description and drawings shall always be consulted to interpret the claims when assessing the patentability of an invention under Articles 52 to 57 EPC, and not only if the person skilled in the art finds a claim to be unclear or ambiguous when read in isolation."

Solving the pain points of patent document review

Patent proofreading and review tools are specialised to detect grammar, formatting, and structural issues in patent applications and related documents. With AI, these tools have also become beneficial in analysing claim structure, verifying aspects that require jurisdictional compliance, and maintaining consistency and support across the specification, claims, and formal drawings.

AI tools are able to identify nuanced semantic and structural issues that human reviewers often overlook. And for firms managing large portfolios, this reduces attorney time, unnecessary rejections, shortens prosecution timelines, and delivers tangible ROI. 

If tailored to specific jurisdictions like the USPTO and EPO, they can also incorporate jurisdictional-related requirements and guidelines that reduces costly amendments and foreign attorney fees, reducing the risk of post-filing objections.

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. 

Recent developments in artificial intelligence have significantly simplified once complex tasks for patent professionals. One area that has recently seen a significant leap is patent figure generation, moving beyond simply analyzing drawings and figures to full generation capabilities, intelligent labeling, visual refinement, and rule-based output validation. These tools are evolving quickly to meet the increasing demands for patent professionals, allowing them to be more accurate and provide more compliant visual documentation of inventions quickly and easily.
