The process of patent drafting, from drafting applications to responding to office actions, can be time-consuming and intricate. Fortunately, AI tools have emerged as game-changers for patent professionals, simplifying the process and improving accuracy. In this article, we’ll explore the top AI patent drafting tools and highlight key features, benefits, and how these tools are reshaping the patenting landscape.

Key Takeaways

• AI patent drafting tools in 2025 deliver end-to-end support, from analyzing invention disclosure to generating the specification.
  
  
• These tools increase efficiency, accuracy, and focus on best practice while reducing the time and cost of patent preparation.
  
  
• Solve Intelligence’s Patent Drafting Copilot offers jurisdiction-specific, technology-specific, and user-specific customization for highly tailored application drafting.
  
  
• Investing in advanced patent drafting tools is essential for staying competitive and meeting client expectations in a rapidly evolving IP landscape.

In a recent conversation between leading European patent attorneys, they confirmed what many of us were experiencing firsthand: AI has moved beyond the hype to become an essential tool that elevates both strategic capabilities and operational efficiency for patent practitioners. The evidence is compelling and the transformation is accelerating. Listen to the full podcast here.

The intersection of artificial intelligence and European patent law has reached a critical juncture. As AI technologies mature from experimental tools to production-ready solutions, patent professionals face unprecedented challenges in securing robust IP protection. Recent developments from the Munich AI & IP Forum reveal both emerging opportunities and significant obstacles for companies seeking to patent AI innovations in Europe.

At 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.
