iPELiNT: Your AI-Powered Patent Solution

Streamlining patent workflows with artificial intelligence

Project Overview

iPELiNT is an AI-powered patent solution designed to streamline the patent application process for law firms and legal professionals. Our platform provides comprehensive tools for patent analysis, reporting, and workflow management, making the complex patent process more efficient and accessible.

Scalable & Secure

Built with modern security practices and scalable architecture to handle the needs of law firms of any size.

Patent Analysis

Advanced AI algorithms analyze patent applications to provide valuable insights and predictions.

Custom Tools

Specialized tools for patent research, prior art search, and application tracking in one unified platform.

The Problem

The patent application process is complex, time-consuming, and involves multiple fragmented tools. Patent attorneys and legal professionals face challenges such as:

The USPTO Process

The United States Patent and Trademark Office handles patents through a multi-step process that can take months or years:

  1. Inventor writes a detailed description of the invention
  2. A patent attorney helps prepare and file the application
  3. Manual search for similar patents (prior art)
  4. USPTO reviews the application (can take months or years)
  5. Patent is approved or rejected

AI Models

Art Unit Model

A specialized model that predicts the most likely Art Unit(s) responsible for examination of a patent application. The Art Unit is a specialized technical team within the patent office covering a distinct technology domain.

The model ingests a new patent application (title, abstract, claims) and predicts the most likely Art Unit(s) that will be assigned to review it.

Performance

Top-5 Accuracy

Patent Search Query Model

This model generates keywords from patent application data to use in USPTO patent search queries. It significantly reduces manual workload for prior art search by automating the generation of effective search terms.
