  • The AI Smoking Gun: Will a "Non-Inventive" Report Sink You in Litigation? w/ Robert Plotkin

    The AI Smoking Gun: Will a "Non-Inventive" Report Sink You in Litigation? w/ Robert Plotkin
    Nov 12 2025
    Imagine your AI-assisted prior art search concludes an invention is "non-inventive", but you disagree and get the patent? If that AI report is uncovered during litigation discovery years later, is your case destroyed? This exact smoking gun scenario came up in my recent AI tool seminar. To get a definitive answer, I asked Robert Plotkin, one of my go-to U.S. patent attorneys for AI patents. His answer explains why, although the technology is new, the underlying legal principles are remarkably familiar and how you can confidently navigate this exact situation.

    The Secret Behind Anthropic's Agentic AI Patent (Claude + Adept + Amazon)
    Sep 17 2025
    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
