Currently, technological innovation is progressing in various fields, and each company is focusing on patent strategy to increase its competitiveness.As a trend, while the number of patent applications in Japan is gradually decreasing, it is steadily increasing in the world due to the globalization of business.In this situation, patent practice (especially patent search) is becoming more important, and its efficiency is an issue.
 
In the technology patented this time, our original artificial intelligence engine "KIBIT" learns the content of the technology from the gazette of the patent to be investigated, and the literature with high reference eligibility (reason for refusal / invalidity) Find out from the survey population with high accuracy (such as publications that can be used as a reference for).Specifically, in order to improve the accuracy of learning in patent searches where teacher data is extremely limited, the specification paragraphs of each document included in the search population are scored and the top 10 are added up.This makes it possible to extract what you want to find with high accuracy (invalid materials, etc.) from a large amount of data (survey population) even if the teacher data is limited.The patented technology has been commercialized as a patent search and analysis system "KIBIT Patent Explorer" and has already been introduced by several companies.
 
By further promoting research and development of artificial intelligence application technology and acquisition of intellectual property, we will develop various data analysis solutions not only in the legal field but also in the fields of healthcare, digital communication, business intelligence, etc. By doing so, we will strive to create a better future.
