In the recent years, patent filing has undergone a significant transformation. Today, technology companies are pioneering innovative solutions to streamline the traditionally complex and time-consuming process of intellectual property protection. As global patent applications exceed 3 million annually and the automated patent drafting market is projected to reach $40 million by 2029, innovators are increasingly turning to AI-driven platforms and comprehensive patent services to accelerate innovation protection. Below is a closer look at five companies leading that transformation by combining deep domain expertise with advanced automation, thus removing friction from the patent-filing journey.
1. Findability Sciences
Findability Sciences has re-imagined the drafting phase - the costliest and most error-prone step in patent prosecution - through its AI-Powered Patent Drafting Agent. Orchestrated by an Agentic Workflow Engine, multiple specialised AI agents collaborate to generate every section of an application, from claims to detailed description, while a secure on-premise option protects sensitive inventions. Real-world pilots at large Indian IP firms showed that the platform cuts drafting time by more than 60 %, allowing attorneys to move from days of manual writing to hours of high-value review.
Unlike single-model competitors, the modular architecture lets firms swap in domain-specific agents - for example, a biotech claim-writer one moment and a software specialist the next - without disrupting the overall workflow. Cross-jurisdiction formatting, automatic consistency checks and user-in-the-loop controls further ensure that the first draft already meets USPTO, EPO or Indian Patent Office norms, giving practitioners a head start on quality while scaling throughput across industries and geographies.
2. HCLTech
A leading name in the Agentic AI space, HCLTech is strengthening its intellectual-property services with intelligent automation through its AI-driven AIOps and DRYiCE platforms, which enhance IT operations, workflow automation, and process optimization. The company gives innovators a tested platform for rapid, compliant patent drafting and analytics. Through its AI-powered solutions, it also helps businesses reduce downtime, predict disruptions, and improve productivity across industries like manufacturing, healthcare, and BFSI.
3. Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)
TCS combines a culture of large-scale innovation with industry-specific R&D centres that shepherd innovators through novelty searches, drafting and prosecution. Its award-winning IP program integrates contextual domain knowledge with generative-AI accelerators, helping enterprises file stronger, more commercially relevant patents while navigating complex global regulations.
4. Infosys
Infosys maintains a massive worldwide portfolio of more than 1,700 patent families, nearly half of which remain active, and concentrates filings in the United States, India and Europe. Its patented platforms -right from automated performance-engineering frameworks to advanced content-review systems - demonstrate a repeatable methodology for converting R&D output into defensible IP. By embedding these toolkits into its consulting engagements, Infosys shortens drafting timelines and improves claim precision for clients across sectors such as fintech, publishing and green IT.
5. Reliance Jio Platforms
Jio has accelerated from telecom operator to deep-tech powerhouse. With focus on 5G/6G stack optimisation, AI language models and IoT platforms, Reliance Jio Platforms is leveraging AI to automate and optimize workflows through the integration of AI into its cloud and 5G ecosystems. This surge equips Jio to offer innovators a robust IP ecosystem - spanning labs, testbeds and licensing frameworks - that simplifies filing while positioning India at the forefront of next-generation communications technology.
These five companies are pioneering the evolution of patent filing from traditional manual processes to AI-driven, automated systems that democratize access to intellectual property protection. Through their innovative approaches, they are empowering a new generation of inventors and businesses to protect their innovations more efficiently and cost-effectively than ever before.
