Development of an AI-Powered Patent Research and Innovation Scoring Platform

The client faces difficulties in manually researching patents, identifying similar existing patents, validating new ideas, and quantifying the innovation potential of patent proposals. These manual processes are time-consuming, prone to errors, and lack comprehensive, easily interpretable insights for decision-making.

A mid-sized legal technology firm specializing in IP and patent services, aiming to streamline patent research, validation, and innovation assessment processes for clients.

• Automate the patent search process and integrate a robust patent search engine.
• Implement AI/ML algorithms to score the innovation potential of patent ideas automatically.
• Provide visual metrics and insights, such as maps and funnel diagrams, to facilitate understanding of patent landscape and competitive positioning.
• Enhance dataset comprehension and improve code quality and documentation standards.
• Enable users to quickly identify the most similar patents, assess their strengths and weaknesses, and make informed patenting strategies.

• A patent search engine capable of retrieving similar patents based on user input.
• An automated scoring system that evaluates innovation potential of patent ideas.
• Visualization modules including maps, funnels, and other diagrams for presenting research findings.
• Data management features to maintain high-quality documentation and datasets.
• User interface for inputting ideas, viewing results, and interpreting metrics.

• Patent databases for search and comparison
• AI/ML models for scoring and similarity analysis
• Visualization tools for reporting and graphical representations

• High scalability to support varying user loads and large datasets
• Fast response time for search and analysis operations, ideally under 3 seconds per query
• Secure handling of confidential data and compliance with relevant data privacy standards
• Maintainability with clear documentation and modular code practices

The implementation of this platform is expected to automate and accelerate patent research and validation processes, reducing manual effort and analysis time. The innovative scoring system will provide quantifiable insights into patent ideas, aiding startups and patent lawyers in making data-driven decisions. The platform aims to significantly improve understanding of patent landscapes, with an anticipated increase in decision accuracy and faster go-to-market timelines for clients.
