Patent Strategy Behind a Breakout AI Company

In 2026, Netflix announced its acquisition of InterPositive, the filmmaking technology company founded by Ben Affleck that develops AI-powered tools built by and for filmmakers.  InterPositive’s technology is designed to support filmmakers’ creative choices while bringing greater control and consistency to AI-enabled production workflows.

In the years leading up to the acquisition, Marshall, Gerstein & Borun LLP worked closely with InterPositive to develop an accelerated, strategic international patent portfolio covering its cutting-edge technology.

Netflix’s acquisition of InterPositive reflects the growing significance of AI-enabled creative technology and the increasing value of tools designed to serve artists and the filmmaking process.
