Solve Intelligence offers a document editor powered by a proprietary AI engine tailored to the needs of IP and patent attorneys.
The editor assists with core patent-related workflows, including patent drafting, responding to office actions from patent examiners, generating and enhancing invention disclosures, and preparing claim charts. Legal teams can train the AI to reflect their drafting style and can switch between different styles for different types of clients, geographies, and technological fields. Beyond drafting, they are expanding into new areas like freedom-to-operate analysis, claim chart licensing, litigation tools, and patent portfolio analytics.
