Laura Brutman to join Solve’s Customer Advisory Board

Laura focuses her practice on patent prosecution and client counseling, helping clients protect innovations and build strong patent portfolios across a wide range of technologies. She has successfully drafted and prosecuted thousands of patent applications, primarily in the electrical, software, and computer arts.

In addition to patent prosecution, Laura advises clients on critical IP matters, including post-grant proceedings, license negotiations, due diligence, and litigation strategy—supporting organizations as they navigate complex IP decisions throughout the lifecycle of innovation.

Laura’s deep technical foundation is rooted in hands-on engineering work. Prior to law school, she worked as an electrical engineer at Polaroid, where she designed and installed programmable logic controllers used in film assembly systems, and also served as a U.S. patent examiner, bringing a valuable perspective on both invention and examination.

She is also recognized as a leader in the global IP community, having been elected Chair of the US Bar–European Patent Office (EPO) Liaison Council, which promotes dialogue and exchange on patent practice and policy between U.S. stakeholders and the EPO.

“Solve Intelligence combines a practitioner-focused user experience with AI tools that meaningfully enhance patent practice, helping professionals deliver higher-quality work and better outcomes for their clients. I’m excited to contribute my perspective as a practitioner as Solve continues to set the standard for high-quality patent tools built for those who use them.”

“Laura’s extensive experience in patent prosecution, combined with her technical background in electrical engineering and leadership within the broader IP ecosystem, makes her an outstanding addition to Solve’s Customer Advisory Board. We’re thrilled to collaborate with her as we continue building AI-powered tools that help IP professionals work faster, smarter, and with greater confidence.”

EPO Guidelines 2026: Key Changes Including G 1/24, G 1/23, and AI

The European Patent Office has published a preview of its Guidelines for Examination, effective April 2026. This update incorporates the landmark Enlarged Board decisions G 1/24 (claim interpretation) and G 1/23 (products on the market), alongside a significant change of practice for selection inventions, new rules on colour drawings, and the EPO's first formal guidance on artificial intelligence.

Drafting for the EPO: How AI Can Make the New EPO–IP Australia PCT Pilot a Success

The EPO and IP Australia are launching a new PCT pilot programme on 1 March 2026 which will allow Australian applicants to designate the EPO as their International Searching and Preliminary Examining Authorities (ISA and IPEA). 

Given the EPO’s rigorous approach to clarity and support requirements, for this pilot programme to succeed, Australian applicants and patent practitioners will have to adapt to draft international applications with EPO-specific requirements in mind.

The launch of this pilot programme will add a new layer of complexity — (and opportunity) for patent practitioners. In a landscape where jurisdictional nuance can shape international search and examination outcomes, AI‑augmented tools such as Solve Intelligence's Patent CopilotTM are becoming increasingly valuable.
