Comments submitted to the USPTO over AI impacts on prior art

Through policy advocacy work with Unified Edge, Unified Patents has submitted comments to the USPTO's request for comments regarding the impact of the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) on prior art, the knowledge of a person having ordinary skill in the art, and determinations of patentability made in view of the foregoing.

Unified has suggested that the USPTO may need to be wary of unscrupulous actors creating AI data dumps, including using bulk patent applications at the USPTO itself to create patent thickets.

Heeeerrrreees Patty! World's First Patent Chatbot

Unified is pleased to announce the latest addition to its patent analytics tools, ‘Ask Patty’ - Unified’s first AI ChatBot. Patty is our new interactive chatbot assistant designed to enhance the user experience on our Portal. It will automatically pop up on every patent information page.

With Patty, users can interact directly and ask questions. Conversation history is stored anonymously so that the system can analyze data for future use and assist in building products that cater to our users' specific needs.

Powered by OpenAI, users can have natural language conversations, regenerate individual responses, or reset the entire discussion.

Patty has general world knowledge, including patent law. The system provides Patty with patent metadata displayed on the current page including important dates, inventor names, and many other bibliographic details.

Patty features two modes. In “Document-Only Mode”, Patty answers questions strictly based on the current patent document. When the toggle is flipped, answers utilize both document content and the model's external knowledge for more comprehensive insights.
