Potter Clarkson Enhances Patent Practice with Solve Intelligence
Solve Intelligence is deployed at Potter Clarkson as a practitioner-led platform, designed to enhance - not replace - the expertise of experienced patent attorneys. 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. This customisation reduces administrative burden and supports consistency across teams, enabling practitioners to engage with AI efficiently without compromising on quality, client-specific requirements, or the firm’s distinctive approach.

Strategic Collaboration
Our team of patent attorneys at Solve Intelligence continue to work closely with Potter Clarkson to provide training and ongoing support for new features and workflows.
During testing and the following rollout, Potter Clarkson’s attorneys also provided detailed feedback across the platform, including several feature requests. That feedback has directly informed how the platform is used and developed, with refinements made in response to the firm’s needs.
“Whilst the firm has a long and established history, the team retains all the qualities of a young and dynamic organisation. Their adoption of Solve is testament to that mindset. Having worked with the team since last year, it’s clear how technically savvy their attorneys are, with their approach to adopting AI placing the firm at the forefront of UK practice.”
