[{"type":"text","content":"\nExpanded patent portfolio protects the firm’s leadership in adaptive technologies that power intelligent negotiation\n\n\n STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nInformation Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm, today announced it has secured a U.S. patent for a sophisticated computational engine that can balance competing interests and negotiate contract terms.\n\n\nU.S. patent #12,572,606, issued March 10, 2026, is the firm’s third patent in AI-powered contracting. It establishes foundational IP protection for ISG for adaptive, self-improving negotiation technologies that will drive a new class of intelligent negotiation systems.\n\n\n“This technology has the potential to replace the traditional, manual process of exchanging ‘redlined’ document edits with an automated, optimization-based approach to agreement,” said Rekha Acharya, partner, ISG Governance Services. \"Our latest patented technology enables our intelligent contracting platform to deliver a fair agreement in seconds and sets the stage for future AI systems to negotiate autonomously.\"\n\n\nThe ISG automatic document negotiation engine employs neural networks and multi-factor optimization algorithms to identify document sections, apply a \"weighted satisfaction function\" and dynamically adjust values to find the specific combination that maximizes the priorities of all stakeholders.\n\n\nThe system also converts qualitative preferences into discrete numerical values, providing an autonomous commerce model where two independent AI systems can negotiate directly with one another.\n\n\nThis patented decision-making framework underpins a new class of intelligent negotiation systems, enabling conversational chatbot negotiation, voice and natural language interaction and real-time contract refinement. By continuously updating its internal value functions through user feedback and historical performance data, the system becomes progressively more effective.\n\n\n“Our third patent offers clients exclusive access to an automated approach that optimizes for specific business outcomes and reconciles multiple contractual priorities,” Acharya said. “In addition to faster contract cycle times, reduced negotiation friction and a less costly contract-to-close ratio, this technology sets the standard for the future of autono...
