A patent application still starts with a blank page. A prosecution strategy still depends on an attorney who understands the art. A portfolio decision still requires someone who knows what the claims actually cover.

AI doesn't change any of that. What it should change is how much time practitioners spend on the work that doesn't require their judgment — repetitive drafting, manual portfolio review, rebuilding competitive context from scratch every time a client asks a question.

That's the operational reality Harrity's AI Patent Suite™ was built around. Not a general productivity tool retrofitted for patent work — a suite developed inside a practicing firm, refined through thousands of real matters, and designed around the specific mechanics of drafting, prosecution, portfolio intelligence, and competitive analysis.

Modern patent practice still requires great attorneys. It shouldn't also require them to do everything manually.

When an attorney shares client work with an AI tool, the question isn't just whether it produces good output. It's where that data goes, who can see it, and whether it gets used to train the next version of a model your competitor might also be using.

Most open AI tools can't answer those questions cleanly. Patent work — with its confidentiality obligations, matter sensitivity, and professional responsibility requirements — deserves better than a general-purpose tool that wasn't designed with any of that in mind.

Harrity's AI Patent Suite™ was built inside a law firm, for law firm work. Client and matter segregation is architectural, not optional. Data never trains AI models. SOC 2 Type II attested. Every workflow was designed around the confidentiality standards patent practitioners are actually held to.

We're honored to be recognized in the latest IAM 1000 rankings.

Patent practice is evolving rapidly as AI, automation, and increasing complexity reshape how intellectual property is developed, protected, and managed.

This recognition reflects the trust our clients place in us and the dedication of our team, whose focus on quality, collaboration, and forward-thinking solutions drives everything we do.

Thank you to our clients and team members for making this achievement possible.

Engineers and scientists build things that deserve strong, strategically positioned patents. Getting there requires more than good prosecution — it requires knowing exactly what you own, where your competitors are filing, and whether your portfolio is working as hard as your R&D team.

Most in-house IP teams are answering those questions manually, across fragmented systems, without a clear picture of the full landscape.

Patent Navigator™ gives in-house counsel instant, secure intelligence across their private portfolio — maintenance fee analysis, con/rec strategy, prosecution oversight, categorization, and private search, all in one place. Patent Atlas™ layers in the competitive context — technology area trends, law firm performance benchmarks, and filing activity across the broader landscape — so every portfolio decision is grounded in data.

Built inside a firm with more than 25 years of patent practice. Refined serving the world's most sophisticated innovators.

The best law firms aren't adding headcount to handle more work. They're working smarter with what they have.

Caseloads are up. Budgets are flat. Client expectations aren't moving. In that environment, the firms pulling ahead aren't doing more — they're standardizing better.

Patent Pioneer™ was built for exactly this moment. It reduces repetitive drafting and prosecution burdens so attorneys spend less time on mechanics and more time on strategy — structured claims, consistent work product, faster cycle times, all without sacrificing the legal judgment that actually protects an invention.

No generic AI. No ramp-up time. No switching platforms. Pioneer works directly inside Word and Visio, in the workflow your team already uses, and produces work product built around the real expectations of patent practice.

Take the first step toward a smarter practice. 🔗 https://software.harrityllp.com/pioneer

This Memorial Day, we remember the service members who gave their lives in defense of our country.

At Harrity & Harrity, we pause with gratitude and respect for their courage, their families, and the legacy they leave behind.

May we remember not only today, but in the way we serve, lead, and contribute throughout the year.
