The Review Bottleneck in AI-Heavy Patent Workflows
If you’re building something with AI, you already know speed matters. You’re racing to ship, outbuild competitors, and win users. But when it comes to protecting that work—filing a patent—it can feel like slamming the brakes. Why AI Changes the Game for Patent Reviews AI isn’t just another feature in your tech stack. It’s a…

How AI Handles (and Fails at) Multi-Dependent Claims
When you’re building something new—a product, a process, a breakthrough—you want to protect it. Patents are how you do that. But if you’ve ever looked at a patent and thought, “What the heck does this even mean?” you’re not alone. What Multi-Dependent Claims Actually Are (In Plain English) If you’ve ever glanced at a patent,…

Why Examiners May Be Skeptical of AI-Written Applications
Let’s be real. AI is everywhere now. It’s writing code, emails, product descriptions—and yes, even patent applications. And while that might sound fast and easy, there’s one big problem: patent examiners aren’t buying it. Examiners Read for Clarity, Not Hype Patent examiners aren’t trying to trip you up. They’re simply looking for something that feels…

Regulatory Uncertainty for AI in Patent Practice
Patents are supposed to give inventors clarity and confidence. But when it comes to AI, the rules aren’t so clear.If you’re building with AI—whether it’s a smarter model, a clever automation, or a product that thinks on its own—you’ve probably wondered: Can I even patent this? Or worse: What if the law changes later? AI…

How AI Drafting Can Undermine Patent Scope
Today, AI tools can draft patent applications in seconds. Sounds amazing, right? But here’s the catch—when it comes to protecting your invention, the quality of what’s written matters more than how fast it’s done. A poorly written patent isn’t just a missed opportunity. It’s a trap. It can lock you into narrow claims, leave key…

The International Filing Risks of AI-Generated Applications
So, you’ve built something smart—maybe it’s a clever algorithm, a machine learning model, or a full-blown AI product. You’re moving fast, solving real problems, and probably thinking about protecting your work. Makes sense. AI Can’t Be the Inventor—And That’s a Big Deal When businesses start using AI tools to draft patent applications, they often don’t…

Inconsistent Terminology in AI-Written Patent Claims
When you’re building something new—especially in AI or deep tech—you move fast. You write code, test it, ship it, tweak it, and keep going. And maybe, somewhere along the way, you start thinking: We should probably patent this. That’s when things get tricky. What Happens When Patent Language Gets Messy Let’s say you’ve built something…

When AI Gets Technical Descriptions Wrong
You’ve built something complex—smart software, a breakthrough model, maybe even a system that could change your entire industry. It works. It’s real. And now, it needs to be explained clearly so others—investors, users, the patent office—can understand it. Naturally, you turn to AI. It’s fast, it writes well, and it seems like a no-brainer. But…

The Danger of Boilerplate Language in AI Patent Drafts
Boilerplate language in AI patent drafts isn’t just a bad habit—it’s a real threat to your protection. When founders or engineers reuse generic phrases from old patents, or rely on auto-filled templates that aren’t tailored to their invention, they risk filing something that sounds technical but says nothing. And in AI, where every model, dataset,…

Confidentiality Risks in Cloud-Based AI Drafting Tools
If you’re building something new, you probably care a lot about speed. That’s why cloud-based AI tools can feel like a dream—type in a prompt, get a draft, move fast. But if you’re working on something valuable—like a new product, a unique algorithm, or anything that could turn into real intellectual property—these tools might be…
