IP & Patents
AI for intellectual property work: prior art and patentability search, patent drafting and prosecution support, office action response, freedom to operate analysis, trademark clearance and watching, and portfolio analytics. The category is technically distinctive because the corpora are structured, global, and public, so retrieval quality is measurable in a way it rarely is elsewhere in legal. It also carries a duty of candour dimension that most legal AI categories do not, since prosecution conduct is examined later. The decisive evaluation questions are search recall against a known art set, how the tool handles claim language and drafting conventions that vary by jurisdiction, and whether the vendor addresses the confidentiality of unfiled invention disclosures, which are among the most sensitive documents a client will ever hand over. Portfolio analytics claims should be checked against the underlying data source and its refresh cadence.
