ML & AI Systems

What's covered

Machine learning and AI take a lot of forms — here's where this practice spends most of its time, and what else falls under it.

Predictive & Classification Models
Models that predict outcomes or classify inputs — risk scoring, recommendation systems, anomaly detection
Natural Language & Speech Systems
Language processing, conversational systems, and speech or voice recognition technology
Computer Vision & Sensor-Based AI
Image and video analysis, sensor fusion, perception systems
AI Infrastructure & Training Systems
Model training pipelines, optimization techniques, data processing infrastructure for ML systems
Don't see your system listed?

Machine learning takes more shapes than any list can capture. If what you're building doesn't fit neatly into a category above, reach out — there's a good chance it's still a fit.

Why timing matters

Publicly disclosing or selling your invention starts a one-year clock in the U.S. — after that, you permanently lose the ability to patent it. In most other countries, that right can be lost immediately, with no grace period at all.

Before you disclose
You have the most flexibility — full options to patent, license, or protect your invention worldwide
After you disclose
You have one year to file in the U.S. before that window closes for good — and you may have already lost rights abroad

Credibility, Not A Generic Bio

Always an engineer. Also an attorney.

As an MIT-trained engineer, I understand the technical substance behind a machine learning system, not just the marketing language around it. When you talk about how a model is trained or what makes an architecture novel, I can follow the underlying mechanics and have a real conversation about what's actually protectable.

Process

How it works

  1. Free consultation
  2. Invention disclosure call
  3. We draft & file
  4. We handle office actions
  5. You get your patent

Every filing gets the same careful, hands-on drafting from an attorney who understands the underlying technology — not a templated form.

Questions

Common questions

Do I need a fully trained model before I file?
No — a fully trained, production-ready model isn't required, just an invention that's clearly defined enough to describe and claim.
