Case Study: Roche transforms patent research with Dataiku agentic AI

Roche cuts patent research from months to days with Dataiku

Roche, a global biotech company, faced a high-stakes challenge in its patent process. Its attorneys were spending countless hours on manual legal research through thousands of European Patent Office cases, a slow and costly process that often produced incomplete insights using traditional keyword searches. To modernize knowledge operationalization and reduce this manual work, Roche adopted Dataiku, The Universal AI Platform.

Using Dataiku, Roche developed an agentic AI interface called Themis PatAI, which unified multiple specialized GenAI projects into a single workspace. This solution streamlined case law and internal knowledge research. The implementation by Dataiku resulted in massive efficiency gains, collapsing the time to build new GenAI projects from months to days and generating annual savings between $100,000 and $250,000 from reduced attorney hours. The platform also enabled citizen development, saving an additional $375,000 to $475,000 in consultancy costs.
