Business Solutions Headquarters
Two years have passed since the KIBIT Patent Explorer, a patent search and analysis system that utilizes artificial intelligence, was launched at the end of October 2015.During that time, we have made changes to make it easier to use and more sophisticated by repeating version upgrades, reflecting the needs of user companies. At the end of April, 10 people from 2 companies who have introduced the system participated in the "4st Patent Explorer User Study Group" to promote their utilization.It ended with great success.And this month, we held the second study session on September 12th (Tuesday), so I would like to introduce the contents. On September 9th (Tuesday), we invited 5 user companies from 19 companies from all over Japan to hold the "30nd KIBIT Patent Explorer User Study Session" at a certain place in Tokyo.The day started with a special lecture by Mr. E-Patent Nozaki, followed by two user lectures by Mr. Ota of PLASDOC Online Study Group (Bridgestone) and Mr. Hirao of Kirin, an update from our company FRONTEO, and finally a question and answer session. .. In the first session entitled "Utilization for Artificial Intelligence and Intellectual Property Business" by Mr. Nozaki, President of E-Patent Co., Ltd., while unraveling the transition of artificial intelligence utilization, the scope of utilization in the patent search / analysis business flow He talked about how to use it effectively and how to interact with him.In the coming era, automation and efficiency of work will be commonplace, and it is important to allocate the time born there, and the skills of intellectual property information personnel required in the age of artificial intelligence include communication and knowledge stock, and It was concluded that it was a decision. In the first user lecture that followed, Mr. Ota of Bridgestone Corporation talked about the results of verification of Patent Explorer and examination of how to use it at the PLASDOC Online Study Group. The PLASDOC Online Study Group is an organization established in 1980 with the participation of 18 chemical manufacturers, mainly for the purpose of collecting, exchanging, and studying information on information retrieval related to polymers.Currently, members of corporate companies such as Asahi Kasei, Idemitsu Kosan, JSR, Showa Denko, Sumitomo Chemical, Sekisui Chemical, Daicel, Tosoh, JNC Petrochemical, and Bridgestone are working on the desired theme for each group.The results are announced at the general meeting in June every year.This time, from the contents announced as the working theme in 6, (2016) Examination of utilization for prior art literature search in the field of chemistry (3) Examination of utilization for Japan / US invalid material search in the field of chemistry (XNUMX) Examination of utilization for publication sorting XNUMX He explained the theme.Even when claims and chemical formulas with a small number of words are included, a high effect is exhibited by adding the effect (purpose) of the invention to the analysis axis, and we received a very meaningful verification result. Next, in the second user lecture, Mr. Hirao of Kirin Company, Ltd. gave a lecture on two themes: (2) assessment (infringement) investigation, (2) how to use Patent Explorer in invalidity investigation, and effectiveness. In the infringement investigation, we received the following two verification results regarding the optimal representation method of teacher data.・ Should the basic components of the product that are not directly related to the product characteristics be described?・ Is the description of the higher-level name other than the substance name of the product feature valid?In addition, in the invalidity search, as an evaluation when using non-patent documents, when news release information is taken in, the result of verification that important information can be evaluated in the same way as patent information is explained.Finally, Mr. Hirao's session ended after sharing his ideas for evaluating the analysis results. In the update from FRONTEO, Mr. Furuta of the consulting department introduced the contents of the version upgrade scheduled for October. Patent Explorer is regularly upgraded to reflect the requests from user companies, and the following four items are scheduled to be implemented on October 10st. (10) Addition of patent data (1) Improvement of user interface (4) Addition of analysis axis creation upper limit setting function (XNUMX) Expansion of CSV export items and time for questions and answers / discussions held after a break were given in advance by participants. We proceeded in the form of answering questions from other user companies who are practicing each.Since the question and answer session on the operational aspect was more active than the previous time, it can be seen that Patent Explorer is becoming an operational base in the patent search business at the introducing companies. At the social gathering held after the study session, Mr. Morimoto, President and CEO of the Company, gave a greeting at the beginning, and Mr. Nakata of Kuraray Co., Ltd. gave a toast. Mr. Nakata, who is the development group leader of the research center instead of the person in charge of intellectual property, said, "I found that it can be easily used even by the person in charge of development who is not a patent expert. In the future, it will be used as a tool to improve the work efficiency of researchers. I want to go. " Employees from our sales, consulting, and development departments also participated in the social gathering.Participating companies actively exchanged business cards and actively exchanged information, which seemed to be a meaningful social gathering place.At the end, Mr. Takeda, CTO of the Company, gave a greeting, and the study session and social gathering on that day ended. We would like to thank everyone who took the stage, all the user companies who participated, and thank you for participating in the busy schedule.We would like to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. FRONTEO plans to hold regular user study sessions introduced this time in addition to training programs that support how to use it so that it can be put on an operational base as soon as possible after its introduction and used effectively.In addition, we hold an online seminar to introduce the functions with a demonstration every month for companies considering introduction. Please refer to the following website for information on Patent Explorer and seminar / event information. http://www.kibit-platform.com/products/patent-explorer/   Furthermore, in November, the year before last and the same as last year, the "11 Patent and Information Fair & Conference" (http://www.pifc.jp/) Will be exhibited.The session will be held for three days from November 11th (Wednesday) to 8th (Friday), and the venue will be the Science Museum in Kitanomaru Park, Tokyo, as usual.Please drop in at the FRONTEO booth, which will be exhibited in the largest four booths ever.
