We help protect algorithms, models, training systems, and AI hardware with strong patents and practical IP strategies. Our attorneys speak the same language as inventors and technologists.
We prosecute AI and software patent applications, craft claims to overcome §101 rejections, and position portfolios for long-term value. We align engineering goals with legal strategy so your IP tracks how the product actually ships—not just how it is envisioned in a whitepaper.
We advise on copyright registrations, licensing, and international IP strategies including trade secret programs for sensitive training data and model assets. Our approach covers end‑to‑end systems: data ingestion, feature engineering, model architectures, serving infrastructure, and post‑deployment monitoring, so claims are grounded in real technical workflows.
When appropriate, we pair patents with defensive publications to steer competitors away from core ideas while preserving your freedom to operate. We also coordinate with privacy and security teams to ensure filings do not disclose confidential or regulated information.
Typical engagements include transforming research prototypes into claimable product features, capturing novel training regimes (curriculum learning, RLHF variants, data synthesis), and protecting inference‑time optimizations (quantization, caching, routing, speculative decoding). We map interactions across data pipelines, model components, and serving layers and reflect those relationships in the claims.
We also help define invention harvesting programs: lightweight inventor questionnaires, periodic review rituals, and a playbook that classifies disclosures into patents versus trade secrets. This keeps your pipeline healthy while maintaining engineering velocity.
