Solve Intelligence is pleased to announce a new partnership with Thomson Reuters, expanding access to purpose-built AI for patent work.
Solve Intelligence’s partnership with Thomson Reuters brings together Solve’s patent and IP platform and practitioner-led support with Thomson Reuters’ longstanding experience helping global law firms adopt professional technology.
Together, the partnership will help firms move from successful individual-led deployments to broader and more streamlined procurements of AI software for their firm and practice groups.
“Leading law firms are already using Solve across patent preparation, prosecution, and litigation-related work. Our partnership with Thomson Reuters is about helping those firms go further: making purpose-built AI a consistent part of their patent professionals' daily workflows.”
Chris Parsonson, Co-founder and CEO, Solve Intelligence
“What excites me most about our partnership with Solve Intelligence is what it unlocks for IP firms. Patent attorneys have some of the most demanding work in legal practice. Thomson Reuters will deliver purpose-built patent AI in partnership with Solve Intelligence, combining the strengths of our content, technology, and expertise. Together, we give these teams a faster, more confident way to handle patent work without compromising the quality and control their clients expect.”
Camillo Speroni, Head of Partnerships and Alliances, Thomson Reuters
Individual use cases can demonstrate how AI saves time and enhances consistency. However, the most significant benefits arise when the technology seamlessly integrates into the daily tasks of attorneys and can be utilized across an entire firm and all practice groups without sacrificing quality, judgment, or client expectations.
Patent work does not break down into neat, isolated tasks. Decisions made during application preparation shape prosecution strategy. Claim interpretation informs validity, infringement, and litigation analysis. Litigation teams often collaborate with patent prosecution teams across matters to make wins for their clients. Knowledge gained from one matter often impacts work across a client's portfolio.
When a firm utilizes AI in only one part of this process or only one practice group, the benefits remain limited. Adopting AI across the firm allows for the integration of shared standards, client preferences, and institutional knowledge throughout various workflows.
This transition requires more than software. It requires adapting the firm’s existing methods and ongoing support as attorneys broaden their usage of the platform.
Solve's platform supports connected work across the patent lifecycle:
Utilizing a single platform across these activities enables firms to create shared templates, consistent working practices, and a more integrated approach to employing AI in patent work. The aim is not to impose a single way of working, but to enhance the existing strategies and expertise that already set a firm apart.
A Practitioner-Led Rollout
Firms can customize Solve to align with their own drafting conventions, client needs, and institutional knowledge. Solve's multidisciplinary team, which includes patent attorneys, AI researchers, engineers, and implementation specialists, offers onboarding, training, and ongoing support.
Security is integrated into this rollout. Solve Intelligence is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, operating on a zero-data-retention basis with its model providers and does not use customer data to train underlying AI models.
The partnership builds on Thomson Reuters strategic investment in Solve and represents a significant development in the relationship between the two companies. The focus is on helping law firms maximize the value they derive from adopting AI across their patent practices.
For patent professionals, the critical question is no longer whether AI can assist in their work, but rather how it can be integrated into daily practice without compromising the standards that differentiate the firm.
