A Case Study in AI-Powered Legal Innovation
“After an 11-month evaluation of AI tools — from enterprise platforms to legal tech startups — we chose Junior because it was built by patent attorneys for patent professionals. The tool has significantly increased the accuracy, quality, and speed of our drafting process, preparing for thoughtful verification and strategic review. It’s reliable, easy to use, and has become a key part of how we build trust with clients.”

Client Profile
Wasserbauer Law is a boutique intellectual property firm known for deep technical expertise and a client-first approach. The firm serves startups and innovation-driven clients who demand both speed and precision in patent prosecution.
The Challenge
As Wasserbauer Law regularly uses software tools and noticed early AI tools lacked the depth, control, or usability required for daily use in a high-standard patent practice.
Key Requirements:
- Private AI sandbox for required privileged & confidentiality
- Patent-specific functionality (not generic legal AI)
- Reliable, high-accuracy output
- An intuitive interface requiring minimal training
- Attorney control with low review overhead
