CHARLOTTE, NC — Shumaker is reinforcing its commitment to innovation and client service by implementing the advanced patent drafting platform developed by Solve Intelligence to support its intellectual property (IP) practice. The technology will enable Shumaker's attorneys to draft high-quality patent applications more efficiently while maintaining the rigorous legal analysis and strategic oversight clients expect.
As innovation accelerates across industries, companies are under increasing pressure to protect their IP quickly and effectively. By integrating artificial intelligence (AI)-powered patent drafting tools into its workflow, Shumaker is strengthening its ability to help clients move from invention to protection faster while maintaining the precision required for successful patent prosecution.
"Solve Intelligence provides our team with powerful tools that enhance the patent drafting process," said Patrick Horne, Partner and Intellectual Property National Service Line Leader at Shumaker. "This technology allows us to focus even more of our time on strategy, claim development, and protecting our clients' innovations, while improving efficiency in the preparation of high-caliber patent applications."
The platform from Solve Intelligence assists attorneys in generating structured patent drafts and supporting documentation, helping reduce time spent on repetitive drafting tasks that traditionally require significant attorney and staff hours. By streamlining these processes, the technology shortens the overall time required to prepare patent applications, which in turn can help reduce the cost of patent preparation for clients while maintaining the quality and care that complex IP matters demand.
This efficiency also allows Shumaker's IP lawyers to devote more attention to crafting strong claims, identifying potential risks, and aligning patent strategy with each client's broader business objectives.
The adoption of AI-driven tools reflects Shumaker's broader commitment to embracing technology that improves how legal services are delivered while preserving the professional judgment, experience, and client relationships that remain at the core of the firm's practice.
"As technology transforms the innovation economy, we are committed to evolving alongside our clients," said Jennifer Compton, Managing Partner and Chair of the Management Committee at Shumaker. "Investing in tools like Solve Intelligence ensures that we continue to be a leading law firm that delivers forward-looking intellectual property services that help our clients compete and succeed."
