Cadence IP
Cadence IP is an AI-powered practice management platform designed specifically for patent and trademark professionals. It centralizes matter management, task tracking, deadline monitoring, document editing, and client communication into a single interface. The platform's embedded AI assistant understands the context of each matter—including documents, emails, parties, and deadlines—and proactively proposes actions such as drafting correspondence, generating invoices, and updating matter statuses. All AI-suggested actions require explicit user approval before execution, ensuring human oversight. The system also includes a self-learning knowledge base that extracts substantive expertise from firm correspondence and feeds it back into future AI drafts, enabling the assistant to reflect the firm's unique reasoning and style. Cadence IP supports integration with external AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing users to work from their preferred AI environment while maintaining the same review-before-action safeguard. An email assistant feature lets users forward client emails to the platform, which then automatically identifies the relevant matter, drafts a reply, and queues follow-up tasks—all pending user approval.
