How AI is Transforming Cross-Jurisdictional Patent Drafting

Patent law might be global in scope, but in practice it’s local - and that creates real complexity for patent attorneys navigating different jurisdictions.

How AI is Transforming Cross-Jurisdictional Patent Drafting

In a new guest article on IP Service World, Solve Intelligence’s Harry Bedford (UK & European Patent Attorney and Founding Member of the Legal & Product Team) explores how AI can help patent practitioners move from reactive adaptation to proactive, globally consistent drafting strategies.

The post outlines how tools like Solve Intelligence’s Patent Copilot embed jurisdiction specific requirements directly into the patent drafting process. From managing the differences between the EPO and US to creating custom templates that blend requirements across regions, AI is helping attorneys reduce rework, increase consistency, and accelerate time to filing.

Harry discusses key challenges such as:

  • Adapting U.S. and European claim structures
  • Avoiding intermediate generalisations and optional language pitfalls
  • Managing differing standards of inventive step and obviousness
  • Standardising quality across jurisdictions through AI templates and intelligent rewriting

These innovations are already enabling patent attorneys to produce or amend patent applications faster and with greater accuracy, but without sacrificing quality.
