Solution Overview

Problem

Computer-generated patent documents lack depth and richness due to the perception that human creativity is essential for providing non-explicit support for claim features, leading to stigma against automated systems.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilize machine-readable instructions and machine learning models to parse patent claims into features, align them with corresponding descriptions, identify explicit and non-explicit support, and generate novel text to provide non-explicit support for individual claim features, enhancing the content of computer-generated patent applications.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If computer-generated patent documents are used, then productivity is improved, but the depth and richness of content deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepatent document generation efficiencyVSAvoiddepth and richness of content
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system comprising natural language processing models and training datasets that bridge the gap between automated generation and human-level content quality. The system uses trained AI models as intermediaries to generate specification text that mimics human creativity and provides non-explicit support for claim features, thereby maintaining both productivity and content depth.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Loss of information

If human creativity is used to provide non-explicit support, then content depth is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenon-explicit support qualityVSAvoidsystem automation level
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of human creativity with an automated AI-based natural language generation system. The system uses trained machine learning models to substitute human intellectual effort, generating non-explicit support text automatically without requiring human intervention, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining content quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Ease of operation

If automated systems are used, then ease of operation is improved, but content quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation levelVSAvoidspecification quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training the natural language generation models on extensive datasets of patent specifications and claim-feature support relationships. This preliminary training equips the automated system with the knowledge and patterns needed to generate high-quality content, allowing it to operate autonomously while maintaining specification quality comparable to human-generated content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Systems and methods for enhancing the depth and richness of content in computer-generated patent applications by providing non-explicit support for individual claim features are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive a previously unseen claim feature, the previously unseen claim feature being absent from the previously received patent documents; provide one or more sentences of never-been-seen-before computer-generated text using the trained machine learning model and the previously unseen claim feature as input; and insert the one or more sentences of non-explicit support in a draft patent application proximal to explicit support for the previously unseen claim feature.
