For CipherLaw founder James Denaro, the way patents are drafted has fundamentally changed. What once took weeks of effort can now be done in days while achieving a depth and breadth of coverage that was previously impractical when using the right AI tool.
“We’re drafting patents in 3 days that used to take 3 weeks. And covering 5x more embodiments than legacy drafting techniques,” says Denaro. “This is the new reality of patent preparation when you combine expertise with the right AI workflows.”
At the core of CipherLaw’s transformation are proprietary AI workflows that integrate Solve Intelligence’s AI Patent Copilot. With this, CipherLaw can move faster and cover more ground and ensure that every aspect of an invention is thoroughly protected for their clients.
What’s different now:
One recent case makes this shift clear. A cybersecurity startup came to CipherLaw with a novel threat detection algorithm. The firm analyzed the company’s codebase with its proprietary solutions, then iterated on a patent application using Solve Intelligence. Within just 72 hours, CipherLaw produced a complete draft that included:
As one CipherLaw client told Denaro: “This is the patent application we would have written if we had unlimited time and budget.”
Denaro also credits Solve Intelligence’s effectiveness to the way its product was built. In the legaltech space, there is often a divide between tools designed from the outside and those shaped by people who have lived the challenges of law practice. Solve Intelligence had patent attorneys from the very beginning, driving its product and company vision, and that insider perspective has been critical to developing product capabilities that reflect the realities of patent practice.
For Denaro, the conclusion is clear:
“Higher quality at dramatically lower costs—this is what happens when you have the right AI workflows. The firms still taking three weeks to draft what we do in three days? They’re already obsolete.”
CipherLaw’s success story shows how the combination of deep expertise and Solve Intelligence’s AI Patent Copilot is setting a new standard in patent preparation: faster, more comprehensive, and built for the speed of innovation.
