Solution Overview

Problem

The conventional process of drafting patent applications is laborious and expensive, requiring significant manual effort to synthesize invention disclosures into specifications and claims, despite efforts to increase efficiency through forms and templates.

Innovation Solution

A document generation system that uses a model generator and document generator to create patent applications based on seed sentences, employing vectorization and sequence generation models to automate the drafting process, reducing manual labor and increasing efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If manual synthesis of invention disclosures into patent specifications and claims is performed, then the quality and accuracy of the patent application can be maintained, but the labor time and cost increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality and accuracy of patent applicationVSAvoidlabor time for drafting
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent application drafting system acts as an intermediary between the inventor's disclosure and the final patent application. It automatically processes invention disclosures, extracts technical features, and generates patent specifications and claims, reducing manual intervention while maintaining quality through structured processing and expert rule-based generation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service patent drafting by allowing inventors to input their disclosures through standardized forms, and the system automatically generates the patent application documents without requiring manual synthesis by patent attorneys or drafters, thereby reducing labor time while maintaining acceptable quality through automated processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Ease of operation

If invention disclosure forms with abstractions and roadmaps are provided to inventors, then the organization of information improves, but significant manual effort is still required to author the specification and claims

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveorganization of disclosure informationVSAvoiddrafting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing the invention disclosure information through automated extraction and analysis before patent document generation. It identifies technical features, relationships, and key elements from the disclosure forms, preparing structured data that can be directly used for automated specification and claim generation, thereby eliminating the need for manual information reorganization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces the mechanical manual process of synthesizing disclosure information into patent documents with an automated computational system. It uses natural language processing, pattern recognition, and rule-based generation to convert disclosure forms into patent specifications and claims, substituting human manual effort with automated intelligence while maintaining productivity

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

3Ease of manufacture

If patent templates with pre-written sections are used, then the drafting process is facilitated, but significant manual effort remains to author the specification and claims

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefacilitation of drafting processVSAvoidmanual effort in authoring
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses copying by extracting and reusing standardized patent language, claim structures, and specification templates from existing patent databases. It automatically copies proven patterns and formulations into the generated patent application, eliminating the need for manual authoring while maintaining the quality and consistency associated with established patent drafting conventions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system achieves universality by creating a multi-functional patent drafting platform that can handle various types of invention disclosures, generate different sections of patent applications (specification, claims, abstracts), and adapt to different technical fields. This single system replaces multiple manual processes and template-based approaches, significantly reducing manual effort while maintaining ease of use through standardized interfaces

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
