Start with your invention material.
The disclosure provides the technical information for preparation. The work keeps the connection between the draft and its source material in view.
AI ASSISTANCE & ATTORNEY JUDGMENT
AI can help with the draft.
Who makes the decisions?
Your software startup should understand where technology assists the patent work and where the attorney takes responsibility.
THE PROBLEM
A fluent draft is not enough
to decide a patent strategy.
You work with software, so the appeal of AI-assisted drafting is easy to understand. The concern is just as reasonable: who checks the technical support, evaluates the claims, and decides what should be filed?
THE QUESTIONS BEHIND IT
Will a real attorney review and revise the draft?
How does the drafting connect back to our disclosure?
Are we buying legal services or subscribing to a software tool?
HOW IAF HELPS
AI supports preparation.
Jurgen directs the patent work.
IAF uses ClaimMark-P for AI-assisted drafting. The product emphasizes source traceability and attorney review. Jurgen reviews, rewrites, and decides on the legal and strategic work. You review the complete application before filing.
Use software to assist the draft.
ClaimMark-P supports preparation of claims, specification, and figures, and assists practitioners with Office Action amendments and arguments.
Apply professional judgment.
Jurgen reviews and revises the work, evaluates claim strategy, and makes the legal decisions. AI assistance is part of that professional process.
