Junior was built by patent practitioners to solve a challenge they know too well. The drafting layer demands speed, precision, and consistency — yet it’s still built on manual effort and disconnected tools.
We set out to change that. Not by replacing attorneys, but by codifying how the best of them work.
As a firm-trained AI drafting system, Junior learns from your filings, reflects your structure, and delivers high-quality first drafts directly inside Word. Your new patent agent is fast, secure, and aligned with how your team already works.
This isn’t another legal tech layer. It’s infrastructure for the next generation of IP practice. Responsive to your standards. Controlled by your logic. Built to perform at scale.
Yuri is a U.S. patent attorney, IP strategist, and co-founder of Founders Legal®, where he has led thousands of successful patent filings across AI, software, aerospace, medtech, and telecom. With a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Georgia Tech, Yuri bridges technical depth and legal strategy — designing portfolio approaches that secure and monetize high-value IP globally.
Along the way, he created multiple patented legal automation systems adopted nationwide, and he has also advised the USPTO directly through its PETTP program. Recognized by Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers, Yuri now leads product development for Junior — embedding the logic, structure, and standards of elite patent drafting into every output the system delivers.
Mark is a senior systems architect with over three decades at the intersection of machine learning, software engineering, and infrastructure. He co-founded PatentCore, the analytics engine that became LexisNexis PatentAdvisor, and has built enterprise legal AI tools for startups and Fortune 500 teams.
At Junior, Mark leads engineering with a focus on inference speed, model stability, and security. He draws on his background in Linux systems, GPU prototyping, and ML pipelines to deliver fast, accurate, compliant performance at scale. His work ensures Junior functions not just like a tool, but like a trusted extension of the firm.
Junior was built by patent practitioners who demand speed, precision, and control, without changing how they work.
If you’re ready to scale your drafting with a system built around your filings and standards, we’d love to show you how it performs.
