Johnathon advises clients on a broad range of intellectual property matters, with a focus on patent strategy, prosecution, and counseling for companies navigating complex, high-impact technologies. He brings a thoughtful and business-minded approach to helping innovators protect what they build: translating technical advances into strong patent portfolios that support long-term growth.

With experience supporting clients across the innovation lifecycle, Johnathon works closely with in-house teams and inventors to align IP strategy with product goals, R&D roadmaps, and competitive positioning. His work reflects a deep understanding of how patent practice intersects with real-world business challenges—where clarity, quality, and speed matter.

As Solve Intelligence continues to develop AI tools that modernize and accelerate how IP teams draft and prosecute patents, Johnathon’s perspective and experience will be an invaluable addition to our Customer Advisory Board.

“I am grateful to be able to help steer the development of AI tools that have helped me and my team to deliver excellent results. Solve Intelligence’s tools provide an advanced system that minimize administrative time, maximize time spent on legally significant analysis and drafting, and add value to projects not otherwise feasible in a typical workflow.

UPC Long-Arm Jurisdiction Is Reshaping European Patent Litigation

Three years in, the Unified Patent Court is no longer just a faster route through European patent litigation. It is becoming a single venue capable of resolving infringement across the UK, Switzerland, Turkey and Spain in one action. That shift has one source: the CJEU's BSH v Electrolux ruling, and what UPC divisions have done with it since February 2025.

The court has issued more than 1,800 decisions, with around 700 new actions a year and 31 already citing BSH. For teams navigating that volume across multiple jurisdictions, AI-assisted research platforms like Solve Intelligence exist for exactly this kind of work.

AI X IP Thought Leader Exchange with Solve Intelligence, Haynes Boone, and 100+ Leading Voices in IP

Solve Intelligence partnered with AmLaw 100 firm Haynes Boone to bring together 100+ senior IP leaders in Silicon Valley for a candid discussion on how AI is being used in patent practice today, and how that's shifting over the next 12 months.

The evening was led by Leah Poynter Waterland (Sr. Director, Cisco), Jeff Draeger (Chief Patent Counsel, Intel), David McCombs (Partner and Board Member, Haynes Boone), Tony Capecci (Director of Practice Innovation, Haynes Boone), and Mallun Yen (Founder, Operator Collective; IP leader and Ex-Cisco).

The room was 70% in-house, drawing Heads of IP and senior IP leaders from across enterprise software and cloud (Microsoft, IBM, Snowflake), semiconductors (Intel, Applied Materials), life sciences (Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Gilead), mobility and autonomy (Tesla, Waymo), connected devices and networks (Cisco, Samsung Research America), and AI labs (Mistral AI). The remaining 30% were outside counsel from firms including BCLP, Finnegan, Perkins Coie, Procopio, and Skadden.

Key Insights

Today, Solve supports global IP teams deploying AI agents for large-scale tasks including search across millions of patent and non-patent literature, portfolio analysis on thousands of assets, and claim charting, focussed on transparent source-backed and auditable outputs.
Every IP leader in the room had either rolled out an AI patent platform or was in active procurement.
Successful AI implementation requires collaboration and trusted long-term partnerships between IP teams, vendors, and outside counsel.
Solve CEO Chris Parsonson expects per-user token usage to grow more than 1000x over the next 12 months.
