WHAT WINS MANDATE NOW

The edge has moved to the network around the work.

Drafting, prosecution, and search are commoditizing, and AI is accelerating it — the revenue tied to that work will compress.

What it can’t commoditize is the network around the work: who trusts whom, who sends work where, and which relationships are shifting. That’s the side IP Pilot’s AI is built for — turning scattered global data into a clear, current view of the relationships that win mandates.

BEFORE AI

Execution = Edge

Technical quality, speed, and depth of prosecution work differentiated the best firms from the rest.
 

AFTER AI

Relationships = Edge

As execution converges, the network around the work becomes the primary competitive differentiator.

AI-POWERED ANSWERS FOR YOUR BIGGEST CALLS

The strategic questions that shape your firm.

IP Pilot’s AI turns relationship data into the answers behind your biggest calls — which market to enter, which client to defend, which partnerships to prioritize.

GROW | WHERE TO PLACE THE NEXT BET

Where should we grow?

See which markets, jurisdictions, and technology sectors are moving — and where you’re over- or under-exposed.

FILING VOLUMES | SECTOR TRENDS

DEFEND | WHAT YOU HAVE, AND WHETHER IT’S HOLDING

Which clients are slipping?

Detect when a client starts moving work to a competitor, domestic or foreign, and see which competitors are winning which clients.

FILING STRATEGY | TREND ANALYSIS | REPRESENTATION MAP

Are our partnerships balanced?

See whether referrals run both ways or only one — which partners you feed without return, and where reciprocity has quietly gone lopsided.

RECIPROCITY ANALYSIS | PARTNER NETWORK INSIGHTS

PURSUE | WHO’S WORTH WINNING, AND WHO DECIDES

Which client should we pursue?

Identify prospective clients and check their existing representation and any conflict with current referral partners or clients.

SMART SEARCH | REPRESENTATION MAP | TECH OVERLAP

Which foreign associates should we trust?

Evaluate foreign associates on real filing volumes, technical expertise, and reciprocity track record — not directories.

RECIPROCITY ANALYSIS | DECISION MAKER INSIGHTS

Who is the decision-maker?

Map the people who actually decide where work goes, who their current partners are, and how close your firm already sits to them.

DECISION MAKER INSIGHTS

PREPARE | KNOWING MORE THAN THE ROOM

How do we walk in prepared?

Meeting and conference preparation, competitor and partner benchmarking, and market-entry or M&A decisions.

AUTOPILOT • YOUR COPILOT FOR THE AI ERA

The research behind every question above – assembled for you. 

Pulling portfolios, tracing referral flows, finding decision-makers, prepping for the room. AutoPilot does that legwork — just ask.

  • Ask in plain language, get all you need from the representation map or the reciprocity behind it to insights for meetings and conference prep, assembled in a second.

  • Grounded in the most comprehensive resolved agent dataset in IP — not a general model guessing on the fly — so what it returns can be trusted in front of a client.

AutoPilot flies the routine leg — the BD and relationship research, monitoring, and prep — so the partner spends time where they are irreplaceable. The firm is the pilot. AutoPilot is the copilot. Together, you navigate the AI era.

Every referral and cross-border flow that touches your firm is already in IP Pilot. Search to see who sends you what, where reciprocity runs one way, and what’s shifting.

No setup. No sales call required.

THE FOUNDATION

The most comprehensive global agent data on patents and trademarks.

Placeholder for image related to data collection 

The data is out there — just scattered. Patents in one system, trademarks in another, the same agent spelled five ways across registers, languages, and alphabets. In pieces it misleads: a firm dominant in patents can be absent in trademarks; an agent winning work across jurisdictions looks minor in the one you happen to watch. Combined and resolved, it lines up.

Our AI is trained to read dozens of public registers and resolve the same agent’s many spellings into one clean entity. It took years to build. No directory publishes it, and no general model reproduces it on the fly.

EFFICIENCY GAINS BY ROLE

Less manual research, sharper decisions in a few clicks — for every role it touches.

Strategy is the headline. Day to day, the payoff is time returned and cost avoided — concrete for the partner, the BD team, leadership, and everyone around them.

Attorneys

PROSECUTION PARTNERS

  • The representation map of a prospect or opponent is retrieved — not assembled by hand from directories, filings, and memory.

  • Decision-maker identification points outreach at the person who actually controls the exchange.

  • Correspondent selection grounded in real filing volumes and reciprocity — in seconds, not directory trawling.

  • Drift signals surface a cooling client early — instead of reconstructing later why work went quiet.

BD & marketing

WHERE TIME SAVINGS ARE MOST CONCRETE

  • Pitch and conference prep pre-assembled — prospect and competitor maps, existing agent relationships.

  • Campaigns concentrated on segments where filing is growing — more yield per BD hour.

  • Travel planned by geography — partner time and budget aimed where the relationships are.

  • Drift and reciprocity monitored continuously and pushed as alerts — not tracked by hand.

  • Reports exported to Excel and PDF, multi-language — no manual build of materials.

Management & leadership

DECISION-CYCLE SPEE, AVOID COST

  • M&A and combination diligence — a target’s client portability and referral dependency assessed against data, not self-report.

  • Market-entry and office decisions grounded in filing-volume trends and competitor presence — not anecdotal soundings.

Other stakeholders

ACROSS THE FIRM

  • Customer success — automatic early warning of at-risk relationships, so retention effort is triggered by signal.

  • Finance & operations — BD budget spent where activity is growing; capital not committed to weak bets.

  • Associates — low-value background research removed, freeing time for substantive work.

INSIGHTS. ADVANTAGE. SUCCESS.

Evidence over instincts.

A firm would never let a client file on a hunch — yet it picks its own markets, clients, and laterals on instinct. Those calls deserve the same evidence: patents and trademarks, every jurisdiction, across time. Half a map doesn’t mislead less. It misleads more.
