Trust but Verify: AI as Every Attorney’s Second Pair of Eyes

In this episode of IP Innovators, host Steve Brachmann sits down with Mark Kesslen, Partner and Chair of the IP Group at Lowenstein Sandler, to trace his path from electrical engineering to chief patent counsel on Wall Street—and how that fintech vantage point shapes his practice today. We dig into LabMorgan’s early online payments bets, the ripple effects of State Street → Alice → Recentive, and where AI is already moving the needle in prosecution (IDS automation, office-action drafting, claim-charting) — plus the security and workflow realities firms must get right. 🚀
