The OpenAI "Legal Advice Ban": Why the social media headlines were wrong. What the new Terms of Use update really means for your professional liability as an attorney or in-house counsel. 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. Announcing "Claim Drafter": An announcement about Bastian's new specialist AI tool for patent practitioners, Claim Drafter, and its official public launch on November 18th. The Big Takeaway: Why these stories show a clear trend: the market is moving away from generalist AI and rewarding specialized, precision tools.

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 📌 Links mentioned: * Anthropic's patent: https://worldwide.espacenet.com/patent/search?q=pn%3DUS12387036B1 * "Attention Is All You Need" paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1706.03762

How to draft patents with AI 👉 https://powerclaim.io/seminar/ I tested ChatGPT and Google Gemini to see if they can research patent case law without hallucinating cases that don’t exist. The results are pretty amazing! The task was to research case law on the sufficient disclosure of AI/ML inventions. Here’s what the models came up with: ChatGPT o1 with Deep Research: https://chatgpt.com/share/67cf85a4-3d00-8003-ba62-c384d20a8a66 Gemini 1.5 Pro with Deep Research: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KenSqsxYNU9beKQahOL9UygCj7gGY14sBtiD9OPOtLw/edit?usp=sharing I’m explaining even more AI use cases for patent attorneys in my flagship seminar How to Draft Patents with AI.
