              Overview

              Inspiring the Future: Our Vision for Artificial Intelligence and Intellectual Property

              Questel is committed to leading the charge in transforming the IP landscape with artificial intelligence (AI), but we recognize the importance of doing so responsibly.

              We believe in harnessing AI to amplify human expertise, not overshadow it

              By using AI to resolve the cumbersome nature of certain IP processes, especially those related to the identification and classification of large amounts of data, we can assist the human expert. By wrapping and controlling the application of AI to provide analysis and support, we can harness its benefits to augment (rather than replace) the role of the IP professional.

              Our vision is clear: to provide specialized, intuitive tools that empower patent and trademark professionals by enhancing their productivity and precision.

              Our roadmap for artificial intelligence and intellectual property

              As part of our roadmap for artificial intelligence and intellectual property, we are on track with our goals to revolutionize patent review—and to tackle every use case that defines the value of a patent, from litigation and licensing to standards and freedom to operate. Patent engineers deserve tools tailored to their needs, designed with the specifics of their practice in mind, without having to adapt to generic software that wastes their time. 

              Our plans to integrate our solutions into our IP management software and to deploy an AI search engine in all our products will be key for the future.

              We invite you to join us on this journey as we redefine the boundaries of what’s possible for artificial intelligence and intellectual property. Together, we will create a future where innovation and ethics go hand in hand, ensuring that technology serves humanity in the most profound and impactful ways.

              The Ethics of AI and IP

              AI holds a vast and unique potential to impact the field of intellectual property. It carries within it the seeds to build new forms of productivity and to shake at the foundations of established practices. However, that is not to say that everything that can be done with AI should be done with AI. That’s why at Questel, we take an ethical approach to software development with AI that places the user at the heart of our innovation.

              At Questel, we are not just innovating for innovation’s sake; we are committed to ensuring that our advancements benefit users in meaningful ways. Our approach to AI is guided by the principles of responsibility, transparency, and respect for the expertise of human professionals.

              The Augmented IP Practitioner

              As a tech leader in the IP industry, Questel is committed to providing the best of AI to all IP practitioners. With our focus on the user, we are working to simplify and enhance the entire patent and trademark process by:

              • Streamlining Data Management: Efficiently identifying and classifying vast amounts of data.
              • Enhancing Analytical Capabilities: Supporting thorough and insightful analysis without replacing the critical human judgment.
              • Providing Tailored Tools for Patent Engineers: Developing dedicated tools that consider the unique needs of patent engineers, saving time and improving accuracy.

              Patent search and analysis

              We use AI technology to boost semantic search, similarity search, automatic classification and to verify patent data in our IP Intelligence Software. By simply entering paragraphs of English text, users can retrieve and analyze relevant patent documents across the entire patent database, including patent information, invention disclosures, scientific abstracts/paragraphs, and technical descriptions. As data quality is the foundation of all forms of analysis, our AI methodologies also use deep learning to clean up assignee information, including highlighting name errors, aggregating patent families, and proposing corrections ready for human verification.

              Shortly, we will launch our AI Assistant (a large language model (LLM)-based patent claims comparison system) to provide users with rapid access to patent insights and information, such as patent summaries, claims summaries, and publication comparisons. What makes this new tool particularly exciting is how quickly technology has evolved as we have developed it.

              IP portfolio management

              Our IP management software is at the heart of Questel's end-to-end integrated IP strategy. 

              Double docketing, manual review, time-consuming data entry, and the high volumes of paperwork and emails that IP professionals receive daily lead to an increased risk of data-processing errors. We are investigating the use of AI to automate data verification, audits, reporting, and beyond.

              "The significance of AI in our field necessitates an internalized approach which partnerships simply cannot offer. In addition to immediately impacting patent drafting and searching, AI will directly benefit several of our other products such as Equinox, our highly successful IPMS solution.”

              “Intellectual property is a sweet spot for artificial intelligence, with real efficiency gains to be achieved, including by reducing the risk of data errors. Given the high stakes associated with failing to pay renewals on time or drafting a patent too hastily and narrowly, we can see the potential benefits of AI-elevated tools.”
