Legal Considerations for Licensing AI-Generated IP Assets
Let’s be honest—AI is changing everything. The way we build, the way we think, and yes, even the way we create IP. If you’re using AI to generate code, designs, models, content, or any kind of output that has real value, you’re sitting on something powerful. Something you can protect. Something you can license. Who…

How AI Impacts Patent Quality and Legal Defensibility
Building something new is hard. Protecting it shouldn’t be. If you’re a founder or engineer, you already know that great ideas are fragile. The last thing you want is for someone else to copy your invention—or worse, beat you to filing a patent because you were too busy shipping code. What Makes a Patent “Strong”…

How AI Filing Tools Handle Sensitive Trade Secret Information
Let’s be honest—if you’re building something big, you’re holding secrets. Not the gossip kind. The kind that powers your startup. The algorithm, the process, the special sauce that gives you an edge. The stuff you don’t want anyone to copy. And when it’s time to turn your invention into a patent, you’re stuck in a…

Copyright Issues in AI-Generated Drawings and Figures
Let’s get straight to the point. AI can now draw. And not just scribbles—real, clean, professional images. Blueprints. Diagrams. Flowcharts. Product sketches. Even full-blown technical illustrations. All of it can be done in seconds with a prompt and a click. Sounds like magic. But here’s the catch: just because a machine made it doesn’t mean…

Legal Risks of Over-Automating the Invention Disclosure Process
If you’re building something new—a product, an algorithm, a device, anything original—there’s a moment when you think, “This might be patentable.” That moment matters. What you do next matters even more. Because if you move too fast, or if you let automation take over without the right checks in place, you could lose everything. Not…

How Courts Might Treat AI-Assisted Patent Documents
AI is shaking up how patents are written, and courts are starting to notice. Founders and engineers are using smart tools to speed up the process, cut costs, and get stronger patent drafts—but that brings up a new question: will courts treat AI-assisted patent documents the same as ones written entirely by human lawyers? There’s…

The Role of Human Oversight in AI-Powered IP Filing
Getting a patent used to be a slow, expensive, and frustrating process. Founders had to deal with complicated paperwork, confusing legal language, and months—sometimes years—of delays. Most just didn’t bother. Why AI Alone Isn’t Enough for Patent Filing AI is Fast, But It’s Not a Legal Expert AI can do some amazing things. It can…
