βThe best part of this course was learning about the exact AI toolchain Bastian uses in his patent drafting workflow. It gave me a clear understanding how to combine local and cloud-based models for maximum efficiency. I now feel much more confident integrating AI into my own practice, knowing Iβm using proven tools that work!β
Target Audience: Is This You?
This seminar is designed specifically for patent attorneys (private practice & in-house) who:
- Have little AI experience but want to get up to speed quickly with a safe, professional AI workflow.
- Are tired of the manual “grunt work” and want to use AI to handle the “what” so they can focus on the “why”.
- Need copy-and-pastable assets to implement AI-powered drafting immediately without risking data sovereignty or quality.
What You Will Learn:
You will walk through a complete, end-to-end patent drafting process:
- Enhancing the Invention Disclosure: Use AI to stress-test disclosures and identify missing details before you ever write the first word.
- Strategic Claim Drafting: Learn to use cutting-edge tools to generate best-of-class claims in a structured thinking process.
- The Full Application Build: I will provide you with my personal library of copy-and-pastable prompts to generate description parts and figures that meet high professional standards.
You leave this seminar with more than just prompts. You will know how to use AI to automate the “what” so you can focus on the “why”: the purposive human intention that makes your patents valuable.

βMy highlight was the over-the-shoulder view: seeing live prompts in action and working through hands-on examples. As a patent attorney trainee, I learned how to leverage AI for drafting patent applications and identifying potential security risks. I had never considered using AI for tasks like writing background information before, but this seminar opened my eyes to new possibilities. Thank you for a great session!β

βOne of the biggest highlights for me was gaining insights into more advanced prompting techniques, especially conversational prompting. Learning to use AI as an iterative drafting assistantβrather than just a one-shot text generatorβwas a key takeaway. Thank you for an excellent seminar!β
