DeepIP invites you to their event
About this event
On The Record is a live conversation with one practitioner: no script, no pitch, no panel. In the first episode, Bryan McWhorter Partner at Knobbe Martens, sits down with Matt Maitland to talk about what that change looks like in practice.
As a patent attorney focusing on software, telecom, and emerging technology, Bryan has integrated AI into the full arc of his prosecution workflow — not as an experiment, but as infrastructure. He's changed how he runs inventor calls, how he drafts, how he reviews associate work, and how he thinks about the division of labor between human judgment and machine output.
The friction points, the workflow that emerged, the things AI still can't do, and where he thinks the profession is headed.
No demo. No pitch. A practitioner speaking plainly about the work.
Wednesday, July 16 · 10:00 AM PT / 1:00 PM ET · Live on Livestorm
Free to attend. Registration required.
Bryan focuses on patent prosecution and dispute resolution for companies in software, telecommunications, and emerging technology. His practice covers the full lifecycle of patent development — from identifying patentable concepts and drafting applications to prosecuting before the USPTO and handling appeals and special proceedings.
Bryan has been an early and vocal advocate for responsible AI adoption in patent practice. He authored "Reports of Death Greatly Exaggerated: Why Generative AI Is Powering, Not Pulverizing, Patent Prosecution" in Legaltech News (November 2025) and has been recognized for high achievement in patent prosecution in the 2024 Patexia Patent Prosecution Intelligence Report. He became a partner at Knobbe Martens in 2017.
Matt is a UK and European patent attorney and US patent agent with over 18 years of experience across private practice and in-house counsel roles in London and Boston. At DeepIP, he brings an attorney's perspective to product development — ensuring the platform performs the way practitioners actually work.
Dual-qualified across three jurisdictions, Matt has prosecuted patents across the US, Europe, and internationally, with particular expertise in cross-border strategy and drafting quality. He was most recently in-house IP counsel at a dental robotics company before joining DeepIP.
