          • AI-Powered Patent Claim Drafting. My New Workflow.

            Don’t fall into the "One-Click Robot" trap. I share why jumping straight to a 30-page AI-generated draft will likely result in a poorly crafted patent. I explore:

            The Satisficing Trap: Why we subconsciously accept "good enough" drafts because they look professional.

            Mechanized Convergence: How over-reliance on automation leads to homogenous, statistically "average" patents.

            The Solution: Moving from "AI-Assisted" to AI-Powered Patent Drafting using the "Tool for Thought" paradigm.

            I also provide a behind-the-scenes look into my own workflow and how I use my AI assistant to challenge my thinking rather than making me think less.

          • How Not to Be Replaced by AI as a Patent Attorney in 2026

            In 2026, there are only two types of patent attorneys: those being replaced by AI, and those becoming indispensable "Mountain Guides". Which one are you?

            Most of us were trained in the "Advisory Trap": acting as neutral facilitators who present options and let the client take the decision. In the age of LLMs, that is a career-ending move. In this episode, I break down the exact strategy I’m using to move into the "Consequence Space" and why your human accountability is the only moat that matters.

          • The AI Smoking Gun: Will a "Non-Inventive" Report Sink You in Litigation? w/ Robert Plotkin
            Imagine your AI-assisted prior art search concludes an invention is "non-inventive", but you disagree and get the patent? If that AI report is uncovered during litigation discovery years later, is your case destroyed?
            This exact smoking gun scenario came up in my recent AI tool seminar. To get a definitive answer, I asked Robert Plotkin, one of my go-to U.S. patent attorneys for AI patents. His answer explains why, although the technology is new, the underlying legal principles are remarkably familiar and how you can confidently navigate this exact situation.

            Perplexity Patents Enters the Game: A first look at the new, dedicated AI patent research agent. We break down its two most powerful features: semantic search (understanding "fitness trackers" vs. "health wearables") and blended non-patent literature (NPL) search.

            The Big Takeaway: Why these stories show a clear trend: the market is moving away from generalist AI and rewarding specialized, precision tools.

          • Why AI Won’t Replace Patent Attorneys

            Is artificial intelligence coming for the jobs of patent attorneys? While many believe AI can handle "low-stakes" legal work, today's discussion challenges that entire framework. I argue that the core value of a patent attorney lies in two areas that AI can never replicate: due diligence and accountability.

            • The Secret Behind Anthropic's Agentic AI Patent (Claude + Adept + Amazon)
              Anthropic, the company behind Claude, has just been granted its very first US patent – and it’s a big one. At 234 pages, this patent isn’t just a technical footnote, it’s a roadmap for how AI agents will move beyond conversation to actually use software the way humans do.
              In this video, I break down:
              * The backstory: from Google Brain’s Transformer to Adept and Amazon’s double bet
              * What’s really inside US 12,387,036 B1 (hint: it’s not just one invention)
              * The quirky technical twist involving a “newline character” in image patches
              * Why this patent matters strategically — and what it means for the future of Claude
