2026 : The year of operational and AI-augmented Intellectual Property

Best wishes 2026 – New IP services, product evolution and AI
Dear clients, dear partners,
At the beginning of this new year, the PI Motion team joins me in extending our best wishes for 2026.
We wish you a year filled with exciting projects, innovation, and success.
Following a 2025 marked by significant enhancements to our PI Planner and Patent Pulse solutions, 2026 continues this momentum with a roadmap built around three key pillars: artificial intelligence, decision support, and operational assistance for IP teams.
Patent Pulse : an AI operational, continuously evolving for your intellectual property
The artifical intelligence integrated into Patent Pulse is now fully operational.
It will continue to evolve over time, driven by usage and ongoing developments, to deliver ever greater value in patent analysis.
Key areas of focus include:
-
continuous improvement of natural-language querying capabilities, enabling more intuitive and faster access to patent information;
-
simplifying patent claims analysis;
-
the progressive enhancement of summarization features (smart clustering), making it easier to quickly leverage large result sets.
Our objective is to enable users to reach what truly matters more quickly, with an ever higher level of understanding, reliability, and clarity.
PI Planner : toward the evaluation and valuation of IP portfolios
For PI Planner, 2026 will mark a major milestone with the launch of an IP portfolio evaluation module.
This module will represent a first step toward the valuation of intellectual property assets, with a particular focus on strategic and priority rights.
It is designed to deliver decision-support indicators that will:
-
better assess the relative value of patent families within a portfolio;
-
help identify key assets to prioritize, strengthen, or valorize;
-
complement the budgeting and portfolio management analyses already available in PI Planner.
A strengthened suite of services to support IP teams.
In addition to our software solutions, 2026 will also see the expansion of a high-value-added services offering, specifically designed for innovative SMEs, mid-sized companies, startups, and very small enterprises, and more broadly for industrial organizations seeking an accessible, pragmatic, and immediately operational approach to intellectual property.
This offering is designed to remain accessible and budget-conscious for SMEs, mid-caps, startups, and very small enterprises, while fully meeting the expectations of industrial organizations. Our services are conceived by industry professionals, for industry professionals, and delivered by experts with hands-on industrial experience who understand real-world constraints, priorities, and operational realities.
This offering will notably include:
-
patent portfolio clean-up and rationalization;
-
practical IP training, focused on concrete use cases, tools, and best practices;
-
support for the implementation and use of patent monitoring and intelligence activities;
-
coaching and methodological support, working closely with R&D, innovation, and IP teams.
The objective is to help our clients fully leverage their tools while strengthening the efficiency and operational maturity of their IP management.
We remain, of course, at your disposal to discuss these developments in more detail—whether related to our products, our AI roadmap, or our new services.
Once again, we wish you an excellent year 2026.
Kind regards,
The PI Motion Team
