A consulting firm focused on providing AI and strategic tech consulting.
Challenges
With over 20 years of experience in AI and strategic tech consulting, Dr. Yotam Livny has worked extensively with patents. During his tenure at Microsoft, he contributed to 150 patents, benefiting from the company’s vast legal support.He has since contributed to 50 patents with other companies in multiple industries. However, when he transitioned into independent consulting ,he quickly realized how cumbersome and expensive the patent process could be.
- Cost & Accessibility: Filing patents independently was prohibitively expensive, with provisional filings alone costing between $5,000 and $10,000. The traditional process often required 10+ hours of attorney calls, making it time-consuming and inefficient.
- Lack of Clarity: Communicating technical details to patent attorneys was often frustrating, leading to misunderstandings and suboptimal patent descriptions.
- Speed: In the fast-moving AI industry, getting a foot in the door first is crucial. Traditional patent filings took months—long enough for competitors to enter the space before an idea was protected.
Solution
Dr. Livny turned to senseIP, an AI-powered patent automation platform that streamlines the entire process from ideation to filing. With Leo, senseIP’s AI assistant, he could:
- Instantly validate patent ideas by comparing them against existing patents and identifying unique differentiators.
- Draft and refine patents without miscommunications or delays, ensuring technical accuracy.
- File provisional patents in hours instead of weeks—with just a single click.
- ”senseIP is available 24/7 at my convenience.” says Dr. Livny, “which gives me full autonomy to work on my inventions when it is comfortable and not have to wait for attorneys to call me back.”
By leveraging a combination of Leo’s AI guidance and refinement and his own expertise, Dr. Livny filed nine patents across multiple industries, including cybersecurity, healthcare, psychology, and AI-driven predictive maintenance.
Outcome
Using senseIP, Dr. Livny has been able to secure IP at a fraction of the cost and time required by traditional legal firms. The impact has been profound:

“I used to spend weeks working with attorneys to get a patent submission right. Now, I draft, refine, and file in a matter of hours—while ensuring my patents are strong and defensible.”
Dr. Livny continues to use senseIP for non-provisional and provisional patent filings and advises multiple companies to adopt the platform as a faster, smarter alternative to traditional patent attorneys.
