Building a Legal AI Partner Ecosystem on Standards the Profession Demands

Thomson Reuters featured its partnership with Sterne Kessler in “Building a Legal AI Partner Ecosystem on Standards the Profession Demands,” discussing the co-development of the Patent Claim Eligibility Analyzer.

Thomson Reuters noted, “The partnership with Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox, one of the leading intellectual property law firms in the United States, takes a different form. Rather than a product integration, this is a co-development relationship in which the firm’s practitioners worked directly alongside Thomson Reuters engineers and editorial teams to build a specialized workflow inside CoCounsel Legal.”

“The focus is Section 101 patent eligibility, a question central to most utility patent disputes, deeply precedent-dependent, and historically requiring significant associate time with no guarantee the research was complete.” Thomson Reuters explained, “The resulting Patent Claim Eligibility Analyzer inverts the traditional model of legal technology development: instead of practitioners receiving a finished product built by technologists, Sterne Kessler co-developed it from the start, translating the firm’s own Section 101 methodologies into a scalable workflow now available to patent practitioners across CoCounsel Legal.”
