AI Patent Claim Drafting
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the field of intellectual property is transforming the way patent professionals approach their work. One of the most significant advancements in this area is the use of AI tools for drafting patent claims. These claims, the cornerstone of any patent, define the legal scope of an invention’s protection, making their accuracy and clarity critical. With the advent of AI-assisted tools, drafting patent claims is becoming more efficient, precise, and accessible.
This article explores the benefits of using AI to draft patent claims, compares leading AI tools in the market, and highlights important considerations for implementing these tools effectively.

UK Supreme Court grants permission for Emotional Perception Appeal
The UK Supreme Court has granted permission for Emotional Perception AI to appeal the decision of the Court of Appeal of 19 July 2024, in the latest chapter in this potentially pivotal case addressing the patentability of computer-implemented inventions, specifically those involving artificial neural networks (ANNs).

EPI Guidelines - Use of Generative AI for Patent Attorneys
Generative AI is already changing how patent attorneys work, and those that use AI platforms, such as Solve Intelligence’s Patent Copilot, are reporting efficiency gains and higher quality outputs.
As the uptake of generative AI increases amongst patent attorneys, professional bodies are starting to consider best-practice and standards for using this technology.
The European Patent Institute (epi) recently released comprehensive guidelines detailing how patent attorneys can responsibly integrate AI into their workflows. These guidelines emphasise ethics, professionalism, and accountability when using AI. In this article, we set out the key takeaways of the guidelines, and how, at Solve Intelligence, we empower attorneys to use AI in line with these guidelines, ensuring that our Patent Copilot remains a powerful but controllable tool for assisting in patent practice.

AI Patent Application Drafting
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming industries, and the field of intellectual property is no exception. Patent application drafting, traditionally a labor-intensive and detail-oriented process, has witnessed remarkable improvements with AI-powered tools. These technologies are helping patent professionals streamline workflows, enhance precision, and reduce costs. This comprehensive article explores the benefits, use cases, best practices, and tools for drafting patent applications with AI.

10 Tips for Patent Attorneys to use AI effectively
Patent attorneys often face high workloads, tight deadlines, and the pressure to deliver impeccable work. AI-powered tools like Solve Intelligence’s Patent Copilot are revolutionising how patent applications are drafted and prosecuted, offering attorneys significant efficiency gains. Here’s how to make the most of these tools and transform your workflow.

How AI is Helping Patent Attorneys
Drafting patent applications can be an arduous task. The process often requires several interactions with inventors to extract enough information to start the process, and then begins the exercise of turning that information into a coherent and detailed ~30 page patent specification. This of course takes time (and sometimes more than the proposed/estimated fee for the draft would allow). For this reason, patent drafting is sometimes considered a loss leader by those in private practice.
From another perspective, the cost of engaging a patent attorney to draft a patent application can be a huge barrier to the uptake of IP, particularly for start-ups and SMEs. Registered IP rights can mean a great deal to these types of applicants, both in terms of carving out a slice of the market and attractiveness to potential investors. Drafting patent applications has thus historically presented a ‘problem’ to both patent attorneys and their would-be clients.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the game in this regard. Forward-thinking attorneys that have already started utilising AI, and those using Solve Intelligence’s Patent Drafting Copilot have reported considerable improvements in their drafting practices. Such improvements are capable of tackling the drafting problem, providing benefits to both attorneys and their clients or companies alike. We’ve highlighted some of these improvements below.
