Patent Studio
AI engineering for IP teams
The other half of the practice. Same person, same fixed-price discipline — applied to the tooling rather than the search. For firms that want the leverage in-house.
Looking for a prior-art or invalidity search instead? That is over here.
What we build
Three ways to start, priced up-front.
Tier 1 — IP Workflow Audit
Five-day deep dive into one workflow — prior-art search, FTO, office-action response, invention-disclosure triage, whatever is costing the most hours. You get a written report ranking the top three AI automation wins with estimated hours saved per week per analyst, plus a 1-hour recorded walkthrough with your team.
Most audits convert into a Tier-2 sprint. The ones that don't still save the firm 5–10 hours/week on the first week's recommendations alone.
Book the audit →Tier 2 — Feature Sprint
Ship one automation, end-to-end. Examples:
- Chrome extension that extracts structured rejections from an office-action PDF and pre-fills your response draft
- Custom Boolean builder over your firm's historical patent corpus
- FTO landscape auto-generator — claim set in, one-page report out
- Invention-disclosure triage tool integrated with your docket software
- LLM-assisted prior-art summarizer with confidence scoring and citation trace
Every sprint ships with an eval harness so your team can tell — measurably — whether the tool is still working six months from now.

Fractional head of AI engineering for your firm. We own the internal AI tooling stack — maintain it, extend it, and keep it current as models change. Priority tier ($15K–$25K/mo) includes same-day response and SLA-backed turnaround on new requests.
Target engagement: 2–3 firms concurrently. If you're one of them, you get real hours, not a rotation.
