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.”

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.”

The Speed-Quality Trade-Off in UPC Provisional Measures

Preliminary injunctions, or “provisional measures” in Unified Patent Court (UPC) terminology, have become the most consequential procedural tool in European patent litigation. In under three years, the UPC has issued 63 decisions across 88 cases, with filings accelerating year on year. The analytical rigour courts demand has increased at precisely the moment timelines have compressed.

For patent teams on both sides, the procedural reality is stark: court-ready claim analysis that once took months must now be produced in days, at a depth that no longer rewards manual workflows.

Tools like Solve Intelligence’s Charts are emerging as a response to that structural pressure, compressing the mechanical phases of claim charting while preserving the practitioner-led judgment that courts expect.
