Key points:
- 71% of in-house lawyers have already divested patent assets or are actively exploring divestiture, per Burford's market research.
- AI is raising portfolio hit rates. Typical infringement hit rates across a portfolio run around 2%, teams using AI push that toward 10%, without adding headcount.
- Human judgment still closes the deal. AI accelerates analysis, but it doesn't replace legal and financial judgment. Every result still gets vetted before it drives an investment or litigation decision.
- Corporate deal flows are changing. Companies now show up with their own AI-driven portfolio analysis in hand, instead of waiting for law firms to build the case first.
- Speed changes the economics. Work that used to take weeks or months of expensive manual analysis can now run in a fraction of the time.
The main takeaway:
AI doesn't close a deal on its own. It gives a company a shorter list of assets worth a conversation, in a fraction of the time manual review used to take. From there, someone still has to read the market, weigh the relationships at stake, and decide what's actually worth pursuing. Together, that mix of faster analysis and experienced judgment is what turns a large, unsorted portfolio into something investable.
