The firm uses the technology primarily at a senior level, where skilled practitioners are able to prompt and interrogate the system effectively to guide high-quality outputs. By combining advanced AI capability with deep technical and legal experience, the platform enables senior attorneys to work more efficiently while focusing their time and judgement on strategic advice, complex analysis and client value. This reflects the firm’s long-standing philosophy that technology should strengthen the role of the practitioner, not substitute professional expertise. “At Potter Clarkson, our priority is delivering technically rigorous and strategically sound advice to our clients. We use Solve Intelligence as a tool in the hands of experienced patent attorneys - professionals who understand how to guide, challenge and refine AI-generated outputs. It allows our senior teams to concentrate on the aspects of drafting and prosecution where their judgement adds the greatest value, while maintaining full control over quality and client strategy.” Peter Finnie, Partner, Potter Clarkson Since rolling out Solve Intelligence’s Patent Copilot, the firm has tailored the platform to reflect its established house styles and drafting standards.
