For this partnership, PWF's primary focus was on configuring the platform around the firm's own drafting conventions, client preferences and established best practices, ensuring that the technology supports the way its attorneys already work.
Maiwald 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.
PTAB Case Studies of AI Disclosure Requirements: Part IIThis article is the second of a series of Patent Trial & Appeal Board (PTAB) case studies (see Part I ), which aims to inform applicants’ approach to satisfying the written description and enablement requirements for patenting artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies.
How Successful Patent Practitioners Are Putting AI to WorkThe most effective patent practitioners are already using AI patent drafting to draft faster, catch claim inconsistencies earlier, and free up hours for the strategic work that actually wins allowances. Key takeaways AI patent drafting tools can reduce application drafting time by up to 80 percent, with Solve Intelligence customers consistently reporting 50 percent or greater efficiency gains across drafting and prosecution Roughly 9 out of 10 utility patent applications receive at least one office action rejection, so prosecution efficiency matters as much as drafting speed Solo attorneys use AI to match larger law firms on turnaround speed and client capacity The strongest reported results come from iterative AI–attorney collaboration, with practitioners directing the process and owning the final work product
Adopting AI in Patent Work: A Practical Playbook for IP TeamsSolve Intelligence works with over 700+ patent teams as they bring AI into daily practice, and the same pattern shows up again and again: recognising that AI helps is easy, but building consistent, team-wide use is not. Adoption tends to stall for a handful of reasons, from informal early experiments to unclear decision making, and a promising trial can fade out without anyone establishing whether the tool or the rollout was at fault. This playbook lays out the process that gets a team from first experiment to settled habit, with the attorney's judgment in control at every step.

USPTO Memo: Reminders for AI & Software InventionsOn August 4, 2025, the USPTO issued a memorandum to software-related art units about subject matter eligibility for AI and computer-implemented claims under 35 U.S.C. § 101. The memo emphasizes that it "is not intended to announce any new USPTO practice or procedure and is meant to be consistent with existing USPTO guidance". This memo builds on and refers to previous July 2024 AI guidance . That guidance provided new examples and analytical frameworks for examining AI inventions. This memo attempts to ensure those frameworks are consistently applied across art units. The memo addresses four areas where examiners often lack consistency when applying the Alice/Mayo steps : mental process analysis, distinguishing claims that recite versus involve judicial exceptions, analyzing claims as a whole, and determining when rejections are appropriate.

IPO European Committee Conference 2025: A Fireside Chat on IP and AIAt the European Practice Conference hosted by the IP Owners Association in Paris, one fireside chat stood out for its insight and urgency: “IP Trends and Developments in AI.” The session was led by two highly respected experts: Jean-François Adam, who covers all things European and currently serves as in-house counsel at Infineon Technologies, and Jonathan Osha, founding partner of Osha Bergman Watanabe & Burton LLP, who brought the US perspective. OBWB, a long-time thought leader in cross-border IP, was also the hosting sponsor of this year’s event, held at the elegant Hôtel le Marois in central Paris. Together, Jean-François and Jonathan offered a compelling look into the evolving challenges of patenting artificial intelligence-based inventions – and why practitioners on both sides of the Atlantic are grappling with inconsistent, outdated frameworks that do not sufficiently reflect the reality of modern innovation implementing AI.
G1/23: Marketed Products Are Prior ArtThe Enlarged Board of Appeal issued its decision in G1/23 on July 2, 2025, addressing whether products put on the market before a patent filing date form part of the prior art when their composition or internal structure cannot be reproduced by the skilled person.
AI Claim Charting - Patent ProsecutionPatent prosecution has always hinged on precision, speed, and strategic foresight. Yet as Office Actions grow in both volume and complexity, often bundling multiple §§102 (novelty) and 103 (obviousness) rejections grounded in nuanced claim interpretations and an ever-expanding body of prior art, the traditional toolkit of the patent professional faces serious challenges. Manual claim charting, painstaking annotation of cited references, and labor‑intensive crafting of responses under tight deadlines can create bottlenecks, drive up costs, and leave room for human error. Enter AI-powered claim charting: a suite of advanced natural language processing (NLP), machine‑learning (ML), and knowledge‑representation technologies that is rapidly reinventing each step of the Office Action workflow. By automating the generation of claim charts, surfacing hidden flaws in Examiner rejections, semantically analyzing claim language, and even proposing targeted response strategies, AI tools are transforming how attorneys and agents prosecute patents. In this post, we’ll explore four core capabilities of AI‑driven claim charting and how they bring both speed and insight to Office Action responses: Automated analysis of Examiner rejections Instant flagging of issues and gaps Holistic assessment of claim language and prior art AI‑generated response strategies

Considerations for AI-Assisted Patent Proofreading and ReviewSolving the pain points of patent document review Patent proofreading and review tools are specialised to detect grammar, formatting, and structural issues in patent applications and related documents. With AI, these tools have also become beneficial in analysing claim structure, verifying aspects that require jurisdictional compliance, and maintaining consistency and support across the specification, claims, and formal drawings. AI tools are able to identify nuanced semantic and structural issues that human reviewers often overlook. And for firms managing large portfolios, this reduces attorney time, unnecessary rejections, shortens prosecution timelines, and delivers tangible ROI. If tailored to specific jurisdictions like the USPTO and EPO, they can also incorporate jurisdictional-related requirements and guidelines that reduces costly amendments and foreign attorney fees, reducing the risk of post-filing objections.
