FRONTEO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Masahiro Morimoto, hereinafter FRONTEO) has started development for the sophistication of the patent analysis system "Patent Explorer".

　"Patent Explorer" utilizes the artificial intelligence "KIBIT®" originally developed by FRONTEO to quickly discover and extract patent documents that may be the basis for denying the novelty and inventive step of an invention. With the cooperation of Toyota Technical Development Corp. (Headquarters: Toyota City, Aichi Prefecture, Representative Director: Yoshiyuki Kagawa, hereinafter referred to as Toyota Technical Development), which specializes in patent analysis, is a patent search and analysis system that streamlines patent search. And did the initial development. Since its launch in 2015, it has contributed to the efficiency of patent search and analysis operations in more companies.

　From this year, FRONTEO has been conducting the following two studies using "Concept Encoder", another artificial intelligence engine of FRONTEO, for the analysis of "Patent Explorer".

phase1(Scheduled to be commercialized in the summer of 2021)
Improved analysis accuracy and operability

phase2(Scheduled to be commercialized in winter 2021)
Multifaceted analysis and visualization of analysis results in patent trend research

　We have repeated tests in Phase 1 so far, but as a result, it is possible to search for patents for a larger patent population than the processing of conventional products, and in addition to improving operability, analysis accuracy The verification result that also improves.Based on this result, we decided to proceed with the development of Phase 1 part with the support of Toyota Technical Development in terms of expertise in patent analysis as in the initial development.

　FRONTEO will support corporate IP strategies by realizing more advanced information discovery in patent searches.
