How to Prompt AI (Free CLE)

A Hands On Workshop for Patent Prep and Pros

Tuesday, February 10th – 12 PM Eastern Time / 9 AM Pacific Time – FREE

Artificial Intelligence tools, systems and platforms provide patent practitioners with great opportunity for both enhanced speed and higher quality work product. But how do you get AI tools to deliver what you want and need? This is an important question because the “prompt and pray” tactic often employed when using AI leads to frustration, dissatisfaction and is sometimes even a waste of time.

Please join us on Tuesday, February 10, at 12 PM ET for a conversation moderated by Gene Quinn, the President and Founder of IPWatchdog. Panelists will include Shrut Kirti, Ph.D., Director of IP Risk at Applied Materials, Chris Schaffer, a Partner at FisherBroyles, and Puya Navid, a Partner at Seyfarth, and Maryam Salehijam, PhD, the Chief Revenue Officer of Junior, who will explain how to structure inputs, so you receive reliable outputs, and how to safely use AI while keeping confidential data private and siloed even when working with public LLM endpoints.

We will roll up our sleeves and discuss prompting tips for various patent practice functions. The panel will show you exactly how to prompt state-of-the-art AI, with demonstrations you can replicate. You will learn a variety of strategies and tactics to help you ensure the AI understands what you want and actually delivers what you need.

Among other things, attendees will learn:

Prompting for effective patent search and prior art analysis
“Vibe Coding” tips to build agents to perform portfolio managements tasks
Prompting to draft different sections of a patent specification.
Preparing and validating patent claims with guardrail prompts.
Checking enablement and written description sufficiency with §112-oriented prompt checklists.
Reducing the risk of §101 subject matter eligibility rejections through iterative prompt scaffolds.
Differentiating over prior art and within a patent family with claim chart prompts.
Mining for continuation and divisional patent claims and alternative embodiments.
Mapping claims to products and features to create more valuable patents.

Whether you’re experimenting with AI to draft claims, refining prompts for office actions, or establishing internal guardrails for AI-assisted patent work, this CLE delivers concrete guidance on using prompting intentionally, defensibly, and effectively.
