NEW YORK, NY- November 12, 2024 – Schwegman, Lundberg & Woessner P.A. (SLW), continuing its commitment to technological innovation in intellectual property services, today announced the addition of DeepIP to its suite of advanced AI tools. This strategic partnership enhances the firm's existing AI capabilities, providing select clients with access to next-generation patent drafting assistance technology.
Building on its history of technological leadership, SLW has completed a comprehensive six-month pilot program to customize and integrate DeepIP's patent assistant capabilities into its existing workflow. This addition complements the firm's existing AI solutions, further strengthening SLW’s position as a pioneer in legal technology innovation.
"SLW is proud to be at the forefront of innovation by leveraging cutting-edge technology like DeepIP. In particular, our lawyers like the tool's flexibility and seamless integration into our workflow, enabled by the DeepIP Microsoft Word add-in. We are very excited to build the future of patent drafting with AI-assisted attorneys," noted Steven Lundberg, Founding Partner, Principal & Chief Innovation Officer at SLW.
Andre Marais, Principal at SLW and leader of the firm's AI adoption team, emphasized the rigorous security evaluation process: "In selecting DeepIP as part of our AI toolkit, we conducted extensive due diligence on their security infrastructure. Their deployment on U.S.-based Microsoft Azure servers, coupled with SOC II Type 2 and ISO 27001 certifications, meets our stringent requirements for client data protection. Particularly compelling is their zero-data retention policy and their track record with security-conscious Fortune 500 companies. This aligns perfectly with our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of confidentiality and security in client service."
DeepIP, invented by a French-American startup of the same name, provides access to the most advanced AI Models and highest security standards available today. Used by both law firms and in-house corporate legal counsel, DeepIP is embedded directly in the Microsoft Word ribbon, where lawyers spend the majority of their time creating patent-related documents and office action responses. DeepIP’s clients describe the tool as the “easiest and most powerful AI solution they have experienced.”
“At DeepIP, we develop AI-powered solutions to free patent practitioners from tedious tasks, allowing them to focus on more creative and strategic thinking. Partnering with top IP firms like SLW allows us to combine our 6 years of experience developing solutions for Fortune 500 companies with their exceptional legal expertise. SLW has shared invaluable expertise and feedback with our Product team, helping us to shape DeepIP into the best-in-class tool it is today. The firm’s insights have been instrumental in fine-tuning our solution to meet the real-world needs of IP practitioners. We are incredibly grateful to Andre and his SLW team for their collaboration,” commented François-Xavier (FX) Leduc, CEO and co-founder of DeepIP and Kili Technology.
