Engineering Excellence: How Haynes Boone is Evaluating Enhancements to Patent Practice with Solve Intelligence

About HaynesBoone

Haynes Boone is an Am Law 100 law firm with a reputation for excellence that spans over 50 years. With nearly 800lawyers across 20 offices worldwide, the firm is a powerhouse in energy, technology, and financial services.

Haynes Boone has built one of the most formidable intellectual property practices in the country. Consistently ranked among the top firms for patent prosecution and a recognized leader in PTAB trials, IP litigation, and other disputes, their IP team develops and manages the critical intangible assets and product clearances of Fortune 500 companies and dynamic innovators alike.

Behind this scale is a culture of collaboration and a commitment to efficiency: a shift from traditional silos to integrated, technology-driven workflows that empower attorneys to deliver greater value to clients.

That same transformation is now helping refine how Haynes Boone’s patent prosecution practice operates.

Partnership

Haynes Boone’s practice is continuing to evolve to help deliver excellent results for our clients, through their evaluation of and partnering with Solve Intelligence to help improve the current generation of available tools.

A broad testing program brought together prosecutors and technical experts from across the firm, ensuring that critical feedback is being provided to Solve and included in future development to meet the rigorous standards of a top-tier global firm.

Below are two key use cases where Solve might be useful to support client needs:

●     Patent Application Drafting: Solve assists in generating detailed language for analysis and use in patent specifications, e.g., based on proposed claims and related supporting documentation, which helps ensure consistent terminology and reduces the time required to produce a high-quality first draft for patent practitioner review and further drafting.

●     Office Action Response: Solve summarizes examiners’ rejections, identifies key rejection grounds, and suggests counter-arguments for patent prosecutor analysis and drafting, streamlining the response process for complex prosecution matters.

Solve’s flexibility has made it a catalyst for digital transformation across patent prosecution practices likeHaynes Boone’s—matching the firm’s global reach with next-generation legal intelligence.

Impact

By automating a portion of the labor-intensive aspects of drafting, attorneys can now spend more time editing and improving U.S. PTO submissions, complex legal strategy, portfolio management, and partnering with clients.

The result is a prosecution function that operates with the same rigor and efficiency as the industries they serve:precise, data-driven, and forward-looking.

For Haynes Boone, the transformation is about more than productivity—it’s about positioning the firm as a pioneer in the AI era to best support their valued clients.

As Haynes Boone continues to grow its global footprint, its team stands as a model for what’s next: a smart, connected law firm that scales precision, insight, and impact.

How Solve Intelligence Handles Invention Disclosures and Unstructured Data

If you've been drafting patents for any length of time, you know the real bottleneck is often not the drafting itself. It's the messy inputs that precede it: partial forms, internal review decks, or email threads where the inventive aspects are buried. Getting from that to a coherent starting point for a draft consumes time most practices simply can't afford.

AI can perform much of that translation work: extracting what matters, flagging what's missing, and generating the necessary follow-up questions based on holes and shortcomings. But it must operate inside proper confidentiality controls, and its output requires attorney review before going near a draft. This guide covers how that works in practice in Solve Intelligence's platform .

Key takeaways

  • The disclosure bottleneck is upstream; AI structures messy inputs before the drafting phase begins.
  • AI extracts features, normalises terminology, surfaces gaps, and generates inventor questions, but attorney review is mandatory.
  • The danger is plausible but fabricated detail, not obvious errors. Watch for AI-generated parameters or 'helpful' specifics.
  • Disclosures contain trade secrets and unpublished IP. Use only tools with verified zero-training, zero-retention policies and enterprise-grade security.
  • A sensible pilot, without client approval, uses anonymised or historical disclosures to define 'good' output and track key metrics over limited timeframe.
