Let’s not waste time. If you’re building something new, especially in AI, biotech, or deep tech, you know the gold standard is originality. Your invention needs to be novel. That’s the rule. But proving it? That’s where things get tricky—and risky. The Problem Isn’t That AI is Wrong—It’s That It’s Too Literal AI searches exactly…

If you’re building something with AI—something new, smart, and potentially game-changing—you’ve probably thought about filing a patent. And maybe, just maybe, you’ve thought, “Why not go big?” Why not make your patent cover everything it possibly can? Cast a wide net. Claim it all. Own the space. Why Founders Reach for Broad Claims (and Why…

When you’re building something with AI—whether it writes code, content, or new ideas—it feels like magic. But when it comes to protecting that magic with a patent? Things get tricky. Especially if the AI helped write the invention itself. Why This Even Matters Getting your invention patented used to be pretty straightforward. If you built…

Most AI tools can write, but writing isn’t the same as real protection. If you’ve ever tried using AI to help draft your patent claims, you probably noticed something strange—it sounds technical, maybe even impressive, but the claims end up vague, off-target, or so narrow they barely cover your actual invention. Why Clarity in Patent…

You’re moving fast, building something new, and every hour counts—until someone says, “You should file a patent,” and suddenly it feels like everything grinds to a halt. Lawyers, delays, high costs—it’s a momentum killer. That’s why AI patent drafting sounds like a dream: instant drafts, lower costs, no back-and-forth. But here’s the catch—can you trust…

You’re building fast. You’ve got product-market fit in sight, investors on your heels, and a technical edge that makes you excited to wake up in the morning. Somewhere along the way, someone told you, “You should file a patent.” AI Can Sound Smart—But That’s Not Enough At first glance, AI-generated patent language often looks impressive.…

The way we protect ideas is broken. It’s slow, expensive, and built for a world that doesn’t move like today’s startups do. If you’re a founder, engineer, or inventor, you already know this. You build at the speed of code, but the moment you try to protect what you’ve created—your algorithms, your product design, your…

You’ve filed your patent. Great. But now what? How do you know if it’s strong? Or if someone else is building something too close for comfort? Or if your IP gives you a real edge—or just a false sense of security? Most founders don’t think about this until it’s too late. And by then, their…

Most startup founders don’t think much about prior art until it’s too late. You file your patent, start building, maybe even launch—and then suddenly, your patent gets rejected. Or worse, someone else shows up with a patent you didn’t even know existed. Now you’re stuck. Your product’s on the line. And fixing it could take…
