Dan Rudoy to join Solve’s Customer Advisory Board

AI for patents.

Be 50%+ more productive. Join thousands of legal professionals around the world using Solve’s Patent Copilot™ for drafting, prosecution, invention harvesting, and more.

Dan chairs Wolf Greenfield’s Electrical & Computer Technologies Practice and sits on the firm’s Executive Committee, where he has practiced for more than 15 years. His practice focuses on IP counseling, patent portfolio development, and patent prosecution for clients working across a broad range of technologies. A significant and growing part of that work centers on artificial intelligence and machine learning, including model architectures, agentic systems, and new algorithms. He is especially active in “tech bio” work at the intersection of software and life sciences, including bioinformatics and the computational workflows behind drug discovery, diagnostics, and digital health. His work also covers enterprise software, including databases, algorithms, and cybersecurity, and extends to electronics, radar, and medical device technologies.

Dan brings a rare combination of technical and legal credentials to this work. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Harvard University and a JD, summa cum laude, from Suffolk University Law School, alongside degrees in mathematics and computer science from the University of Pennsylvania. Earlier in his career, he conducted engineering research at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, giving him a working engineer’s understanding of the inventions he now helps protect.

His practice spans the full IP lifecycle. Dan works regularly with start-ups, mid-size and multinational companies, non-profit organizations, and investors, advising on IP strategy and portfolio development in the United States and abroad, and on matters well beyond prosecution, including due diligence, trade secrets, technology and IP agreements, open-source, and freedom to operate.

Within Wolf Greenfield, Dan leads much of the firm’s work integrating AI into its day-to-day practice, across both the legal and operational sides of the business, and he drives a broader effort around AI-enabled practice innovation. He is an active voice on how AI is reshaping patent practice. He is also a frequent speaker and author on how to patent AI inventions, and on the eligibility and disclosure challenges they raise. That mix of deep technical fluency, full-lifecycle prosecution experience, and a forward-looking view of AI makes him an excellent fit for Solve’s Customer Advisory Board.

As Solve Intelligence continues to build AI tools that modernize and accelerate how IP teams work across the entire patent lifecycle, Dan’s perspective as a technically grounded practitioner and practice leader will be a valuable addition to our mission.

“AI is fundamentally changing how lawyers, and patent practitioners in particular, work day to day, and it is one of the most exciting shifts the profession has seen in a long time. Solve understands that patent prosecution is high-stakes, judgment-driven work, and builds tools that augment practitioners rather than replace their expertise. That’s exactly why I’m joining its Customer Advisory Board, where I look forward to contributing a technical and practice-leadership perspective as Solve raises the bar for legal AI.”

Dan Rudoy, Shareholder, Wolf Greenfield

“Dan brings a great depth of technical expertise in AI and machine learning, paired with years of front-line prosecution experience and unique insight into how the patent profession is adapting to AI. His insight into what excellent patent work requires, from invention through portfolio strategy, will be invaluable as we continue building tools that help practitioners draft, prosecute, and manage high-value IP. We’re delighted to welcome Dan to our Customer Advisory Board.”

Chris Parsonson, CEO & Co-founder, Solve Intelligence

We look forward to Dan’s insights and contributions as Solve Intelligence continues to advance AI-driven solutions for the entire patent workflow.

How Much of Your Patent Practice Should You Codify?

Both in-house teams and outside counsel can let a purpose-built platform carry the shared foundation for their patent work. They can then focus their limited time on the standards and judgment that set their work apart. AI has made this division of labor more valuable by raising the payoff for turning a practice into templates, instructions, and review criteria that run at scale. Let’s call that codification. The platform can encode a great deal of best practice out of the box, and a team can add its own custom templates and instructions on top. The real question is how much to add and how much to leave to the platform. There is no fixed formula because the right balance changes as the team’s practice, the law, and the technology evolve.

How Successful Patent Practitioners Are Putting AI to Work

The 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 product

Adopting AI in Patent Work: A Practical Playbook for IP Teams

Solve 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.

How AI Brings Patent Intelligence Into Every Decision

AI 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.
