AI is changing everything—including how we invent, build, and protect new ideas. That’s exciting. But it also raises some big legal questions. Like: Can AI be an inventor? Who owns an idea created with AI? What if someone else is training on your code or using your data? Why AI and Patents Don’t Always Play…

When you use OpenAI, GPT-4, or any cloud-based model to help write, code, or ideate your invention, you might not realize that you’re creating a potential legal mess. These tools feel private.

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…

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”…

Startups move fast. You’re writing code, raising money, building product—and the last thing you want is a slow, messy patent process dragging you down.
