The Project.
Development of an intelligent SaaS solution that increases efficiency in patent law firms by up to 37% through AI-powered assistants and process automation. In the highly specialized world of patent law, where accuracy and deadline management are crucial, manual and repetitive tasks pose a significant burden. Patent-Studio was developed as a strategic solution to solve these core problems through targeted automation and the use of artificial intelligence.
Challenge.
The primary challenge was to automate the time-consuming routine tasks in patent law firms. These included the analysis of examination reports, research in legal databases, and the preparation of standard documents such as opt-out applications. The existing processes were not only lengthy, but also prone to human error.
"The introduction of Patent-Studio was a turning point for our law firm. The time savings of over a third is not just a number – it's time we can now invest in the strategic advice of our clients."
Goals.
The core goal was to develop a platform that fundamentally improves the daily work of patent attorneys: efficiency improvement, intelligent support through an AI assistant, and process security through automation.
"Our vision was to create a solution that seamlessly integrates into the highly complex processes of a patent law firm. The result is a precision that makes the difference."
