Nielsen's intellectual property portfolio spans audience measurement technologies, viewer analytics, cross-platform data integration, and artificial intelligence & machine learning – built through contributions from global engineering, data science, and product teams. Managing this breadth across multiple jurisdictions requires both technical sophistication and operational efficiency, which pushes Nielsen’s in-house IP function to continuously stay at the cutting edge of IP practice. That drive led Nielsen to conduct an evaluation of AI patent tools.
After testing Solve Intelligence across their team in Q4 2025, Nielsen integrated the Solve Intelligence platform as a strategic component of their IP operations. Key selection factors included:
Attorney-Led Product Design: Solve Intelligence is built by patent practitioners for patent practitioners. The platform keeps attorneys in the driver's seat while accelerating routine workflows. This is a critical requirement for an in-house team maintaining Nielsen's quality standards.
Workflow Flexibility and Consistency: Nielsen's IP function spans multiple technology areas, each with distinct claiming approaches and drafting conventions. Solve's custom template system allows the team to maintain consistency while adapting outputs for different technical domains and jurisdictional requirements. This same approach also heightens the ability of Nielsen’s in-house team to collaborate effectively on approaches and conventions.
