The Partnership with Solve Intelligence

With IP professionals distributed across the country, Troutman utilizes Solve to help standardize excellence. Our goal is to provide every attorney—whether in Atlanta, Philadelphia, or Silicon Valley—with an AI partner capable of handling the most complex subject matter.

Following a successful pilot that tested the platform against the firm’s rigorous standards, Solve Intelligence has become a key driver of the firm’s innovation-focused client service model.

August 4, 2026Maiwald Chooses Solve Intelligence for Selected AI-Supported IP WorkflowsSolve Intelligence is proud to share that Maiwald, one of Germany’s largest and most progressive intellectual property firms, works with Solve Intelligence on selected AI-supported workflows in its patent and legal practice groups. Following an evaluation period during which selected functionalities were assessed for approved internal use cases, Maiwald and Solve have formed an enterprise partnership for 2026. The rollout reflects the same careful approach Maiwald brings to its client work. Solve enables customers in Europe to process data on servers located within Europe and holds recognized information-security certifications. In addition, Solve offers contractual commitments designed to protect confidential professional information in line with applicable statutory confidentiality obligations and professional conduct requirements. Against that background, any use of AI-supported tools took place only within approved governance structures and under applicable professional, contractual, confidentiality and data-protection requirements. That balance of innovation and professional judgment is characteristic of Maiwald. The firm has spent decades setting a standard for IP work in Europe: rigorous prosecution, a formidable contentious practice, and interdisciplinary teams of patent attorneys and attorneys-at-law working side by side. The firm approached AI the same way, methodically, with a clear sense of where it adds leverage and where an experienced attorney’s judgment remains irreplaceable.Read article
