These models can generate vectorial representations of input text, enabling the use of vector similarity as proxy for semantic text similarity. We fine-tuned a patent-specific BERT model for prior art search on a large set of real-world examples of patent claims, corresponding passages prejudicing novelty or inventive step, and random text fragments, creating the SEARCHFORMER. We show in retrospective ranking experiments that our model is a real improvement. For this purpose, we compiled an evaluation collection comprising 2014 pairs of patent application and related potential prior art documents. We employed two representative baselines for comparison: (i) an optimized combination of automatically built queries and the BM25 ranking function, and (ii) several state-of-the-art language models, including SentenceTransformers optimized for semantic retrieval. Ranking performance was measured as rank of the first relevant result. Using t-tests, we show that the achieved ranking improvements of the SEARCHFORMER over the baselines are statistically significant (</span></span><span><math><mrow><mi>α</mi><mo>=</mo><mn>0</mn><mo>.</mo><mn>01</mn></mrow></math></span>).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51794,"journal":{"name":"World Patent Information","volume":"73 ","pages":"Article 102192"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43332331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Brazil is a developing country with a large territory and consumer market, attracting investment from foreign companies, including AI technologies. In the present work, we carry out a review of the Brazilian IP Law, Guidelines and Resolutions regarding patentability of AI inventions in Brazil, and also perform comparative analyses with the guidelines from the EPO and USPTO. Then, patent searches are carried out to analyze filing indicators of patent applications for AI inventions, wherein it is possible to verify that most of the filing applicants in Brazil are foreign companies, mainly from the US. Brazilian entities, which rank second overall in filing for patent applications in Brazil, do not even appear among the main applicants for AI inventions. We conclude that Brazil is not a competitive country in the production of patents related to AI, and it is important for Brazil to establish some degree of legal certainty regarding patent protection for AI inventions and disseminate knowledge about protecting such inventions by patents, so that inventors opt to disclose their AI inventions instead of keeping them as a trade secret. Therefore, more and more sectors of society might benefit from innovations arising from AI.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51794,"journal":{"name":"World Patent Information","volume":"72 ","pages":"Article 102177"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43459039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This manuscript aims to build generative language models in the patent domain and evaluate model performance from a human-centric perspective. The perspective is to measure the ratio of keystrokes that can be saved by autocompletion based on generative patent language models. A higher ratio means a more effective model which can save more keystrokes. This metric can be used to benchmark model performance. The metric is keystroke-based and different from conventional machine-centric metrics that are token-based. In terms of model size, the largest model built in this manuscript is PatentGPT-J-6B, which is state-of-the-art in the patent domain. Based on the metric, it is found that the largest model is not necessarily the best for the human-centric metric. The finding means that keeping increasing model sizes in the patent domain might be unnecessary if the purpose is to assist human writing with autocompletion. Several patent language models are pre-trained from scratch in this research. The pre-trained models are released for future researchers. Several visualization tools are also provided. The importance of building a generative language model in the patent domain is its potential to facilitate creativity and innovations in the future.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51794,"journal":{"name":"World Patent Information","volume":"72 ","pages":"Article 102173"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49715130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Industry 4.0 inventions are characterised by a particular nature and combination of technologies, notably the inclusion of aspects of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). The default information sources currently used to establish patentability of ‘conventional’ inventions may be inappropriate for this new class of invention. This is partly due to the different structures of publication and methods of dissemination of research results found within computer science professions. It is suggested that searching in the secondary or tertiary literature may be a more fruitful approach to establish patentability in these areas of technology. However, expertise in the use of these types of source has been substantially lost, as the information industry has concentrated on production of full-text primary sources.
