A PRACTICING LAWYER’S WORKSHOP
INDEPENDENT WORK / 2026I’m Pooya Shoghi, a patent attorney with a background in computer science and software development. This is where I explore how AI can support the substance of legal work.

THE APPROACH / 02
Take a closer look at the proposed Claim Construction workflow. Select a stage to see the question it addresses.
01 / SOURCE RECORD
Collect the patent and relevant prosecution materials, and identify the sources that later stages can cite. Record gaps belong in the analysis from the beginning.
An indexed source set with document identifiers and locations that can be checked.
Review questionCan a reviewer locate the material behind each finding?
This is an interactive explanation of the proposed workflow. It does not run a model or produce a legal analysis.
ABOUT / 03
I work at the intersection of patent practice and software development. The questions that interest me are practical: what should a tool examine, which distinctions must it preserve, and how can a lawyer evaluate its conclusions?
These projects are a way to work through those questions. My aim is to turn a professional method into explicit steps, test the connections between them, and make the resulting work easier to examine and improve.
