The Agency
Agency Patents uses and develops AI agents as an attorney-directed agency supporting legal work.
The AI agency is internal; the client-facing service is human.
Agency Patents provides intellectual property licensing and protection services. Those services are supported by an agency of AI IP agents implementing specialized agentic workflows that help the attorney organize, compare, draft, analyze, and review patent and intellectual property information.
Clients work with the attorney-led Agency Patents practice. The AI IP agents do not independently give legal advice, form the attorney-client relationship, determine legal strategy, or communicate advice to the client.
What the AI IP agents assist with.
The AI IP agents are organized around tasks that commonly arise in intellectual property licensing and protection services.
Protection analysis
Claim-scope review, prior-art organization, prosecution-history review, continuation strategy support, design-around analysis, and portfolio gap identification.
Patent drafting support
Draft structure, embodiment extraction, claim-set review, terminology consistency, technical summary generation, and drafting checklists subject to attorney review.
Office action analysis
Rejection parsing, cited-art comparison, argument organization, amendment support, and response-planning assistance.
Landscape analysis
Technology mapping, competitor patent review, portfolio clustering, filing-trends, and landscape analysis supporting licensing and protection strategy.
Attorney workflow control
Matter-specific prompts, evidence checks, work-product review, confidentiality controls, and integration of technical and legal judgment.
No self service yet
Agency Patents offers legal services: intellectual property licensing and protection services supported by AI IP agents. Current U.S. and foreign regulations limit who and what may provide legal advice: human attorneys. Our development efforts are directed along two fronts. One is AI generation of legal advice and documents that require as little attorney rework as possible. The second is reducing the barriers between clients and that AI generated product.
For current matters, clients retain Agency Patents for attorney-directed services. The AI IP agents assist behind the scenes.
Why the attorney directs the agency of AI IP agents.
Only the attorney delivers legal advice
Licensing and protection advice requires legal judgment applied to specific facts. The agents can help process information, but the attorney determines the advice and strategy.
Patent work mixes law, technology, and business goals
A protection strategy may depend on claim scope, prior art, prosecution history, continuation practice, licensing objectives, enforcement risk, and commercial timing.
Confidential IP information must be handled deliberately
Unpublished invention disclosures, draft claims, licensing positions, and portfolio plans can be sensitive. Attorney-directed workflows help determine what information is used and how.
Outputs must be checked before use
AI IP agents can make mistakes or omit important context. Agency Patents uses attorney review before relying on outputs in client advice or work product.
