AI for Non-Patent Literature Search: Why It Matters
If you’re building something new, you know ideas move fast. In tech, science, and engineering, a single overlooked detail can change the course of your invention. Many founders focus on patents when checking for originality. But there’s a whole other world of knowledge that matters just as much — and sometimes even more. It’s called…

The conversation around AI in patents is no longer about if it will be used. It’s about how to use it the right way. Every week, new tools promise faster drafting, sharper searches, and cheaper workflows. But speed without care can lead to weak patents, missed risks, and even ethical trouble. The New Reality of…

Is AI Bias a Concern in Patent Law? What Attorneys Need to Watch For
In the last few years, artificial intelligence has quietly moved into the heart of patent law. Search tools, prior art analysis, claim drafting—many of the steps that once relied purely on human skill are now powered, or at least assisted, by algorithms. This shift is helping attorneys work faster, handle more data, and make decisions…

How AI Helps Attorneys Handle Complex Portfolios with Less Stress
Patents are supposed to protect your ideas. But for attorneys managing hundreds or even thousands of patents, the work can feel less like protecting innovation and more like drowning in details. Every portfolio has dozens of deadlines, renewals, filings, prior art checks, and strategic decisions to track. One missed step can cost a client millions…
