01/ The challenge

Weeks of effort per application

For CipherLaw founder James Denaro, drafting a patent application once took weeks of effort, and covering an invention with real depth and breadth was often impractical.

02/ The solution

How CipherLaw uses Solve

At the core of CipherLaw’s transformation are proprietary AI workflows that integrate Solve Intelligence’s AI Patent Copilot. With them, CipherLaw moves faster, covers more ground and makes sure every aspect of an invention is thoroughly protected for its clients.

In one recent case, a cybersecurity startup came to CipherLaw with a novel threat detection algorithm. The firm analyzed the company’s codebase with its proprietary solutions, then iterated on a patent application using Solve Intelligence. Within 72 hours it produced a complete draft that included:

  • Detailed specifications for edge cases
  • Alternative architectures
  • Defensive variations to anticipate future competitors
  • A level of technical depth that would have taken weeks to develop manually

Denaro also credits the way Solve Intelligence was built: patent attorneys drove its product and company vision from the very beginning, so its capabilities reflect the realities of patent practice.

“Higher quality at dramatically lower costs—this is what happens when you have the right AI workflows.”

03/ The results

Patents in 3 days instead of 3 weeks

What’s different now:

  • Drafting time cut from weeks to days
  • Technical detail expanded across every embodiment
  • Broader protection, with one implementation now extended into entire families of solutions

As one CipherLaw client told Denaro: “This is the patent application we would have written if we had unlimited time and budget.”
