Artificial Intelligence Technologies Useful in the Patent Process

December 12, 20222 min read

Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important in the patenting process. AI-driven technologies are being used to help identify and analyze patentable inventions, evaluate the novelty of inventions, and even predict the outcome of patent applications.

Natural Language Processing & Patents

One of the most useful AI technologies for patenting is natural language processing (NLP). NLP is a type of AI that can understand and analyze natural language, such as text from patent applications. Using NLP, patent professionals can quickly identify relevant prior art and determine the novelty of an invention. NLP can also help to identify potential infringement issues and suggest solutions.

Machine Learning & Patents

Another AI technology that is useful for patenting is machine learning (ML). ML is a type of AI that can learn from data and make predictions. ML can be used to predict the outcome of patent applications, helping patent professionals to make informed decisions about which applications to pursue. ML can also be used to identify trends in patenting and help to identify potential areas of innovation.

Patent Automation Leveraging Artificial Intelligence

AI-driven technologies are also being used to automate the patenting process. Automation can help to reduce the time and cost associated with filing and prosecuting patent applications. AI-driven automation can also help to ensure that patent applications are complete and accurate, reducing the risk of rejections.

Artificial Intelligence-Driven Patent Landscape Analysis

Finally, AI-driven technologies are being used to help patent professionals better understand the patent landscape. AI-driven technologies can help to identify potential competitors, identify potential areas of innovation, and help to identify potential licensing and monetization opportunities. AI-driven technologies are revolutionizing the patenting process.

By using AI-driven technologies, inventors, entrepreneurs and patent professionals can more quickly and accurately identify and analyze patentable inventions, evaluate the novelty of inventions, predict the outcome of patent applications, automate the patenting process, and better understand the patent landscape.

Jeffrey Schell

Jeff’s mission is to transform innovative concepts into extraordinary companies. In 2019, top tier law firm Hall Estill acquired the rights to the Rocky Mountain Patent brand, where he became the director of its national Ventures Growth practice. Following his departure from Hall Estill, he founded Schell IP specifically to incorporate all aspects of artificial intelligence in a new model for an intellectual property law practice. Jeff attended Northwestern University, graduating with degrees in Industrial Engineering & Management Sciences and Economics in 2004. He subsequently earned his JD and masters degrees in International Studies and Medical Informatics. Jeff separately studied economics at Harvard University, and in 2007, was a delegate at the Harvard China-India Development & Relations Symposium. ColoradoBiz Magazine named Jeff one of the 25 "Most Influential Young Professionals in Colorado.” He was also a finalist for the Denver Post's "Colorado Innovator of the Year" and "Denver Trailblazer" awards. In 2017, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock invited Jeff to participate in Denver's official trade delegation to South Africa and Kenya. He also became elected President of TiE Denver, one of Colorado’s leading entrepreneur and angel investor ecosystems, from 2019-2020.
