June 11, 2026EPO G 1/26: How the Coated Steel Strips Case Tests Article 123(2)At Solve Intelligence , we build AI tools purpose-built for patent prosecution and opposition workflows. European teams, including cross-Atlantic firms like HG , use Solve Intelligence to stay ahead of EPO doctrine shifts as they happen. In this article, we cover the three referred questions in G 1/26, the practical implications for prosecution and opposition teams, and what to do before the decision lands. Key takeaways G 1/26 asks whether G 1/24's rule to consult the description extends from patentability assessment to Article 123(2) added matter. The underlying case (T 873/24) turns on whether "ratio of titanium to nitrogen in excess of 3.42" means a weight ratio or a molar ratio. The referral poses three sets of questions: admissibility under Article 112(1), the reach of the description in claim interpretation, and the consequences for Article 123(2). If the Enlarged Board extends G 1/24 to Article 123(2), description-based narrowing applies to added-matter assessment across all European proceedings.Read article

June 8, 2026Patents and Standards 2026: When SEP portfolios outgrow human reviewThe 8th UCL Patents and Standards conference brought together all the key standard essential patent (SEP) players on both the holder and implementer sides. By the end of day two, one technical question kept resurfacing across panels that were nominally discussing other topics. How does anyone actually assess essentiality and validity at the scale modern declared portfolios now reach? At Solve Intelligence , this is the question we have built our platform to answer. Key takeaways At today's portfolio scales, AI is a precondition for SEP essentiality and validity assessment, not an enhancement of human review. Streaming standards are fully in SEP territory, bringing implementers with no licensing history into the same mapping problems as in cellular standards. SEP disputes default to parallel multi-jurisdiction proceedings, requiring position alignment across every forum before the first filing.Read article

June 1, 2026UPC Long-Arm Jurisdiction Is Reshaping European Patent LitigationThree years in, the Unified Patent Court is no longer just a faster route through European patent litigation. It is becoming a single venue capable of resolving infringement across the UK, Switzerland, Turkey and Spain in one action. That shift has one source: the CJEU's BSH v Electrolux ruling, and what UPC divisions have done with it since February 2025. The court has issued more than 1,800 decisions, with around 700 new actions a year and 31 already citing BSH. For teams navigating that volume across multiple jurisdictions, AI-assisted research platforms like Solve Intelligence exist for exactly this kind of work.Read article

May 28, 2026AI X IP Thought Leader Exchange with Solve Intelligence, Haynes Boone, and 100+ Leading Voices in IPSolve Intelligence partnered with AmLaw 100 firm Haynes Boone to bring together 100+ senior IP leaders in Silicon Valley for a candid discussion on how AI is being used in patent practice today, and how that's shifting over the next 12 months. The evening was led by Leah Poynter Waterland (Sr. Director, Cisco), Jeff Draeger (Chief Patent Counsel, Intel), David McCombs (Partner and Board Member, Haynes Boone), Tony Capecci (Director of Practice Innovation, Haynes Boone), and Mallun Yen (Founder, Operator Collective; IP leader and Ex-Cisco). The room was 70% in-house, drawing Heads of IP and senior IP leaders from across enterprise software and cloud (Microsoft, IBM, Snowflake), semiconductors (Intel, Applied Materials), life sciences (Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Gilead), mobility and autonomy (Tesla, Waymo), connected devices and networks (Cisco, Samsung Research America), and AI labs (Mistral AI). The remaining 30% were outside counsel from firms including BCLP, Finnegan, Perkins Coie, Procopio, and Skadden. Key Insights Today, Solve supports global IP teams deploying AI agents for large-scale tasks including search across millions of patent and non-patent literature, portfolio analysis on thousands of assets, and claim charting, focussed on transparent source-backed and auditable outputs. Every IP leader in the room had either rolled out an AI patent platform or was in active procurement. Successful AI implementation requires collaboration and trusted long-term partnerships between IP teams, vendors, and outside counsel. Solve CEO Chris Parsonson expects per-user token usage to grow more than 1000x over the next 12 months.Read article

May 14, 2026Teva v. Eli Lilly: The Four Drafting Choices That Won $176.5MThe Federal Circuit Panel's April 16, 2026 decision in Teva v. Eli Lilly reinstates a $176.5M verdict and draws a clear distinction under §112 between method-of-treatment and composition claims. The decision highlights the importance of drafting choices, like those made by Teva 2006. Teva shows how much §112 outcomes turn on drafting choices rather than the volume of disclosure. From a specification describing a single humanized antibody, the patentee framed the invention as a method of treatment, anchored the genus to a known biological target, and relied on humanization as routine art within the POSA's knowledge. These are structural choices, made years before litigation, that shape how a patent reads in enforcement decades later. These choices are exactly what purpose-built tools like Solve Intelligence are designed to surface early on, during drafting, when they can be considered consciously and proactively. The alternative may be that issues only become apparent during litigation, when it is often too late to change a decision that was made previously, whether intentionally or not. Key takeaways Teva v. Eli Lilly (Fed. Cir. Apr. 16, 2026) marks the first clear limit on Amgen v. Sanofi. Amgen's §112 calculus does not extend to method-of-treatment claims reciting an antibody genus. Same specification, same genus, yet the antibody claims failed in IPR while the headache claims won at trial. One humanized antibody, a known biological target, and routine humanization techniques were enough to satisfy §112. Four drafting choices won the case: claim category, functional anchoring, routine art, one embodiment. Teva is a re-opening event for life sciences portfolios with genus claims.Read article

April 29, 2026The Speed-Quality Trade-Off in UPC Provisional MeasuresPreliminary injunctions, or “provisional measures” in Unified Patent Court (UPC) terminology, have become the most consequential procedural tool in European patent litigation. In under three years, the UPC has issued 63 decisions across 88 cases , with filings accelerating year on year. The analytical rigour courts demand has increased at precisely the moment timelines have compressed. For patent teams on both sides, the procedural reality is stark: court-ready claim analysis that once took months must now be produced in days, at a depth that no longer rewards manual workflows. Tools like Solve Intelligence’s Charts are emerging as a response to that structural pressure, compressing the mechanical phases of claim charting while preserving the practitioner-led judgment that courts expect.Read article
