Common Formatting Errors in AI-Written Patent Applications
Getting a patent is about more than just having a good idea. It’s about making sure that idea is written down in a clear, correct, and official way. And when startups or inventors use AI tools to help write patent applications, that’s where things can get tricky. AI is fast. It can write a lot.…

Why AI-Generated Applications May Increase Office Actions
Getting a patent is hard enough. The last thing any startup wants is more roadblocks. But here’s the thing: if you’re using AI tools to write your patent applications without human help, you’re probably setting yourself up for trouble. The Problem with “Generic AI” in Patents AI is a powerful tool, but only when it’s…

IP Ownership Disputes in AI-Assisted Drafting
Why AI can be your secret weapon—or your worst nightmare—if you’re not careful. When you’re building something new, speed matters. Every minute you’re not launching, testing, or iterating, someone else might be. That’s why a lot of founders and engineers are turning to AI tools to help with everything—from coding to drafting patent applications. But…

The Problem of Legal Nuance in AI-Generated Claims
You’re building something new. Maybe it’s code, maybe it’s a model, maybe it’s hardware. It works. It’s smart. And now you’re thinking—should I patent this? You type your idea into an AI tool. It spits out a bunch of claim language that looks official. Legal terms, structured phrases, all the right buzzwords. Why AI-Generated Claims…

How AI Misinterprets Inventive Concepts in Applications
You built something smart. Something new. You’re ready to protect it. But then the AI tool you’re using to help with your patent application says, “Got it.” Except… it doesn’t. Not really. It misses the thing—that special spark that makes your invention different. It sounds like it’s helping. But it’s filing the wrong story. And…

Data Quality Challenges in Training AI for Patent Writing
Let’s not sugarcoat it—training AI to write patents is hard. And the biggest headache? It’s not the AI itself. It’s the data. If you feed an AI messy, biased, or confusing patent data, you get messy, biased, and confusing patent drafts. It’s like trying to build a spaceship with bent parts and missing screws. No…

AI Bias in Patent Drafting: A Hidden Risk
Patents are powerful. They protect your invention, give you leverage, and make your startup more valuable. But what if the tool you’re using to write that patent—especially if it’s powered by AI—is quietly working against you? Most founders trust AI tools to help move faster and save money. But there’s something many don’t realize: every…

Ethical Concerns Around AI in Patent Law
AI is speeding up everything, including how startups file patents. But as we start using AI to help with legal work—especially in patent law—we run into some big ethical questions. These aren’t just technical issues; they’re real problems that could affect who owns what, how fair the system is, and whether startups are truly protected.…

The Human Review Problem in AI Patent Drafting
Most people think the hardest part of getting a patent is writing it. But that’s no longer true. Today, AI tools can take a technical idea and turn it into a pretty solid first draft. They can analyze your code, detect the key features, pull out the core inventions, and structure everything into the format…

USPTO Guidance on AI-Authored Patent Applications
Let’s get straight to the point: if you’re using AI to help invent things—whether it’s writing code, designing hardware, or optimizing systems—you need to know what the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) thinks about it. Because here’s the deal: the rules around AI and patents are changing fast. Why the USPTO Had to…
