Solution Overview

Problem

Large organizations face challenges in ensuring the accuracy and compliance of contractual clauses and terms due to the time-consuming and error-prone manual review process by legal teams, leading to potential risks and delays in contract generation.

Innovation Solution

A computer system utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to analyze and classify agreements and clauses, generating proposed revisions or new clauses, and evaluate potential risks, with a human-in-the-loop process, ensuring compliance with regulations and minimizing the organization's exposure to risk.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual review and approval of contractual elements by a legal team is used, then compliance with regulatory requirements and risk mitigation is ensured, but the process becomes time-consuming and error-prone, leading to delays in contract generation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance accuracyVSAvoidcontract generation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary AI system that acts as a mediator between the manual review process and contract generation. This system includes a language model trained on legal clauses and documents, which automatically analyzes proposed clauses, identifies potential risks, and suggests revisions. The AI intermediary handles the bulk of compliance checking, allowing human legal teams to focus on complex cases, thus improving both speed and accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual review process with an automated AI-based system. The system uses machine learning models to automatically parse contracts, classify clauses, and evaluate compliance, substituting human manual labor with automated computational processes. This substitution dramatically increases contract generation speed while maintaining compliance standards through consistent application of legal rules.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If manual review process is used to verify and approve clauses and terms, then potential risks can be mitigated, but the process is error-prone and may overlook important risk factors

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverisk mitigationVSAvoidrisk detection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a digital copy of the legal review process through AI models trained on extensive legal documents and clauses. The system learns from historical legal data and replicates expert legal analysis capabilities. This AI copy can consistently apply legal knowledge without human errors, fatigue, or oversight, improving both reliability and precision in risk detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where the AI model continuously learns from reviewed contracts and risk outcomes. When human legal teams review or reject AI-generated风险分析, this feedback is used to retrain and improve the model. This creates a self-improving system that becomes increasingly accurate at detecting risks over time, enhancing both reliability and measurement precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A computer system and method for managing a contract by receiving and analyzing attributes to classify the agreement based on its type. Proposed clause inputs are received, analyzed, and classified, considering their relationship to a document family and whether they pertain to an amendment or new agreement. Revised clause language is generated by identifying and reformatting previously utilized legal clauses to align with the document family and propose revisions or new clauses. Potential risk exposure is evaluated based on risk management parameters or regulatory requirements, and the revised clauses are reformatted to address identified risks. This system enables efficient contract management, ensuring appropriate classification, tailored clause generation, and risk mitigation.
