Defensive Alliance to Shield AI Companies from Patent Troll Litigation

Unified Patents is happy to launch the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Zone. This new Zone will deter patent abuse and bring together a large and growing network of members to address non-practicing entities that assert vague software patents.

The Zone combines ex parte reexamination challenges, litigation trend monitoring, ownership intelligence, prior‑art workflows, and USPTO challenges to change trolls’ cost–benefit calculus across AI domains.

Members gain access to shared data on litigation trends, patent ownership changes, and aggressive actors in the AI patent space. As part of the AI Zone, Unified Patents has developed the first-ever GenAI patent landscape.  This landscape, OPAL for GenAI, will help companies identify and mitigate risk, plan their legal strategies, grow their portfolios, and understand their own value.

This tool, available exclusively to the members of Unified Patents’ new Zone, allows for a new way to identify and value patents, analyze risk, and determine the total top-down patent landscape quickly and easily—and be more prepared and better value the competition and litigations of tomorrow.

To learn more about membership, the landscape, or other services, contact sasha@unifiedpatents.com.
