In artificial intelligence (AI) development, particularly in domains like generative AI (Gen AI), running structured evaluations - known as evals - is an incredibly useful tool. Evals test models and algorithms in development against real-world tasks to measure performance, detect errors, and improve reliability. In fields such as intellectual property (IP) law, these evals ensure that AI tools meet the high standards of accuracy and compliance required for professional use.

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more integrated into professional workflows, the need for transparency in AI-assisted tasks is increasingly important. One key area where this applies is the patent industry, where accuracy and traceability are critical. To support this, we are introducing a new feature: AI Track Changes, designed to provide clear insights into how AI-generated suggestions and edits are being made to your patent applications, Office action responses, and other patent documents.

In today’s fast-paced innovation landscape, having access to effective patent analysis tools is crucial for businesses looking to stay competitive. These tools help companies analyze existing patents, uncover trends, and identify potential opportunities for innovation. With advancements in AI, AI patent analysis tools have become a game changer, allowing more accurate and efficient research. This article highlights the top patent analysis software for 2024 that can aid in making informed decisions about intellectual property.

The field of intellectual property (IP) is constantly evolving, as businesses and innovators look for more efficient ways to manage and protect their ideas. As IP portfolios grow, the traditional methods of managing patents, trademarks, and copyrights can become increasingly time-consuming, resource-heavy, and prone to error. To keep up with the fast pace of innovation, IP professionals are now turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline processes and deliver better outcomes.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has released updated guidance on patent subject matter eligibility. This update focuses on critical and emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI). The new guidance aims to assist USPTO personnel and stakeholders in evaluating the subject matter eligibility of claims in patent applications and patents related to AI technology and inventions. Furthermore, it introduces new examples to help apply the USPTO's subject matter eligibility guidance during patent examination, appeal, and post-grant proceedings. The guidance also addresses stakeholder feedback and recent Federal Circuit decisions.

The integration of generative AI into the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) submission processes is reshaping the landscape of patent and trademark filings. This article provides an overview of all prior guidance from the USPTO on the use of AI and explores the multifaceted role of AI tools in enhancing efficiency, ensuring compliance, and navigating the complex legal and ethical landscapes of patent applications. From drafting patent applications to managing confidentiality and security, legal practitioners must adapt to maintain accuracy, inventorship integrity, and ethical standards in their submissions. Given the numerous practical applications and their benefits, generative AI is becoming an indispensable asset in legal practices, especially in interactions with the USPTO systems.

Stephen Hou, VP & COO of American Patent Agency and long-time customer of Solve Intelligence™, explores the impact of artificial intelligence on patent law, focusing on new regulations for AI patent drafting and AI inventorship across major global patent offices. Stephen describes how jurisdictions in the IP5 (China, Europe, Japan, Korea, and the United States) are updating their guidelines to address the challenges of AI in the patent process, specifically stating that AI cannot be an inventor but highlighting its role in aiding human-driven patentable innovations. This highlights the growing role of artificial intelligence in patent law.
