The world of patent law is changing rapidly. Fast-growing technology sectors like quantum computing, fusion energy, and AI agents present new challenges to law firms as demands for speed and precision continuously increase. BARDEHLE PAGENBERG, one of Europe's leading IP law firms (with over 240 experts), demonstrates how these challenges can be overcome with innovative AI solutions.

The Challenge: UPC and Time Pressure in Patent Law

Patent disputes before the Unified Patent Court (UPC) come with specific requirements: stricter deadlines, higher complexity, and the necessity of quickly mastering highly specialized domains. This time often involves additional work that cannot be fully billed.

Dr. Niels Gierse and Dr. Nikolaus Buchheim, responsible for AI development and implementation at BARDEHLE PAGENBERG, pinpoint the problem:

“We had to ask ourselves: How can we provide even better client support without compromising quality or legal precision?”

A Platform for Tailored AI Solutions

The LLM-agnostic sandbox design of Blockbrain's AI platform allows firms to develop specific solutions without the need to build large in-house AI teams or even possess developer skills. Seamless integration via APIs and the highest security standards through ISO-27001-certified data centers in Europe, among other things, create the perfect basis for AI applications in legal affairs.

The quality of response here is crucial because anyone who has experimented with generic productivity tools in the form of chatbots knows how quickly time savings through AI can turn into a time dilemma. Only those who combine expertise with advanced context-enhancing features and necessary IP protection in an AI platform achieve the desired time advantages that can make a difference in challenging cases.

Measurable Successes in Practice

A concrete example shows the revolutionary potential: tens of thousands of pages of technical documentation, which would normally occupy a multi-member team, could be analyzed overnight with Blockbrain.

“This would have been only possible manually with disproportionate effort,” report Dr. Gierse and Dr. Buchheim.

More than Just Efficiency

Besides increased speed, the AI solution systematically improves quality by minimizing human errors and inconsistent terms. Digital knowledge twins additionally secure corporate knowledge in the long term.

The transformation at BARDEHLE PAGENBERG shows: Those who strategically use AI create measurable benefits through increased efficiency and improved quality.
