Redefining AI for IP Professionals 

Redefining AI for IP Professionals

Artificial intelligence is reshaping how intellectual property professionals work, but for those handling high-stakes innovation data, speed alone isn’t enough. True progress comes from pairing advanced technology with uncompromising standards of reliability and transparency.

At LexisNexis^® Intellectual Property Solutions, this principle guides the development of Protégé™ in PatentSight+™, a next-generation AI Assistant designed to help IP professionals navigate complexity with confidence. 

Built on the proven foundation of LexisNexis^® PatentSight+™, LexisNexis Protégé™ combines trusted data, actionable insights, and expert validation to help innovators make confident, data-driven decisions.

Building on Proven Foundations 

Protégé is built on the same trusted principles that define PatentSight+. It inherits a legacy of scientific rigor and data quality, applying those same values to the emerging frontier of generative AI. 

Its design and testing are grounded in three enduring pillars: 

• Data Quality & Coverage
  To deliver insights you can rely on, Protégé draws from the enriched and validated patent data that underpins PatentSight+, addressing issues in open-source patent data such as incomplete ownership, ambiguous legal status, and inconsistent global data. 
• Actionable Insights 
  By enhancing the depth and speed of analysis through advanced AI-driven intelligence, Protégé in PatentSight+ helps IP professionals move from tactical portfolio management to forward-looking strategy. 
• Impactful Visualizations & Communication Tools
  Protégé in PatentSight+ empowers users to transform complex analysis into clear, compelling stories, helping demonstrate the true business value of innovation to stakeholders across the organization. 

Each of these pillars reflects more than a technical foundation. They express our ongoing mission to bring clarity to innovation. This ensures every insight is meaningful, explainable, and built on trusted information. 

Introducing a Rigorous Approach to AI Quality 

As AI technology evolves, so must the ways we measure its performance. Traditional software testing alone cannot evaluate how large language model (LLM)-based systems reason or generate outputs. 

That is why we have introduced an Agent Evaluation framework into our testing process. It is a structured approach that blends data science with expert human review to assess reasoning, consistency, and usefulness. 

This methodology combines:

• Operational testing to validate platform stability and performance 
• Functional testing to ensure results align with real-world IP scenarios 
• Agent evaluation to assess interpretability, tone, and reliability through human expertise and rubric-based analysis 

This multi-layered framework ensures Protégé in PatentSight+ is tested not only for what it produces but also for how it reasons. The result is insights that are both powerful and trustworthy. 

Driven by Experts, Guided by Purpose 

Behind Protégé in PatentSight+ is a cross-disciplinary team of IP analysts, AI engineers, data scientists,  product and market experts. Together, they ensure that every feature reflects the needs of real IP professionals, not just theoretical AI models. 

Our engineers and scientists continuously refine the model’s reasoning and performance. Our IP domain experts validate reliability, usefulness, and relevance. The result is an AI Assistant that is innovative, explainable, and ready to enable real-world decision making.

AI may be transforming IP analytics, but our north star remains the same: empowering innovators to act with confidence. 

With Protégé in PatentSight+, we are redefining what trustworthy AI means for IP professionals, one rigorously tested insight at a time.
