Your Intellectual Capital with AI
Discover Questel’s holistic and responsible approach to artificial intelligence
and intellectual property and our vision to inspire the future of IP with AI
Inspiring the Future: Our Vision for Artificial Intelligence and Intellectual Property
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.
Discover our plans for artificial intelligence and intellectual property and join us on this journey by exploring our solutions below.
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.

Patent preparation and prosecution
We have integrated AI-boosted 'one-click' workflow technology to standardize and streamline the preparation and prosecution process for patent owners, using simple chat interactions to instantly analyze complex documents, automatically collect data insights, and promote strategic stakeholder collaboration. With no set-up or internal resources required, you can start to realize the efficiency benefits immediately of this easy-to-use dedicated AI copilot for patent preparation and prosecution.

Patent drafting
Using leading-edge natural language generation and machine learning, we help IP professionals draft quality patents quicker using AI. Our intuitive interface combines knowledge from patent and intellectual property attorneys with Large Language Models (LLMs) to produce high-quality text proposals and/or validate text to reduce the number of objections during patent prosecution.

AI assistants for trademark productivity
Trained by IP experts for IP experts and powered securely and confidentially by OpenAI and Gemini, our all-in-one IP preparation and prosecution workflow, data, and collaboration space delivers efficiency and productivity for trademark practitioners across a wide range of trademark skills. Review search and watch results, create first drafts of goods and services descriptions, classify evidence of use, manage office action responses effectively, with more features coming soon.

Trademark search and watch
Our best-in-class similarity technology, powered by Predictive AI, allows users to search words and images in the description and detach the source image for ease of review.
Questel already uses Predictive AI in our world-class Clearance & Watch Platform, but there is more to come. AI tools could automate and enhance the brand creation proposal by proposing unique logos and product designs (Generative AI), support monitoring (AI Search Assistants), and automate monitoring to identify infringements and manage workflows for potential conflicts.

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.

Online brand protection
Our combined online brand protection monitoring and tracking solution reduces the demands on brand owners by automatically detecting online threats according to pre-defined criteria and triggering pre-agreed automated alerts and notifications. All activity is coordinated via a centralized online case management system so that take-downs can be initiated rapidly or managed in bulk.

Tech-enabled translation
From machine translation (MT) to post-editing and quality checks, we streamline and automate translations through the smart application of AI translation technologies. Our AI-boosted translation and editing tools provide a first or final check on translations for expert review, identifying grammatical errors, leveraging knowledge from similar translations that have been completed previously, and offering real-time editing suggestions to linguists as they translate.
We are harnessing the potential of AI technologies to not only streamline and automate translations but also to put our clients in greater control of the entire end-to-end process. Through Predictive AI, we can enable clients to analyze quality, price, availability, and capacity to determine the best choice of vendor or linguists for a specific project or task.

Cost management
Drawing on our artificial intelligence and intellectual property technology, our invoice management module assigns and groups invoices to a patent lifecycle phase to reduce the time required for human review.

Looking to maximize the use of Generative AI technologies for IP? With Sophia, you can harness the power of Generative AI across Questel software, from IP search to innovation management. Trained to understand IP questions, instructions, and requests in natural language, our AI chatbot assistant Sophia utilizes generative AI technologies to unlock patent and trademark data for our clients. Reduce time creating search queries, gain access to instant data analysis, and unlock AI-powered use cases across Questel software with Sophia, the industry’s first cross-solution AI assistant for IP.

- ISO 13485

As part of our artificial intelligence and intellectual property roadmap, Questel has been investigating, assessing, and testing AI capabilities for many years. We apply supervised and unsupervised machine learning (ML), natural language processing (NLP), genetic algorithms (GA), and neural networks (among other AI technologies) to drive innovation for clients in three key areas: to supercharge IP data, to unlock insights, and to analyze outcomes.

CEO, Questel
"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.”

Patent Product Strategy Director, Questel
“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.”
Director of Global Production Platform, Questel
"From optimizing machine translation (MT) output to automatic post-editing and concordance search, we have the potential to streamline and automate translations through smart application of AI technologies. AI could correct raw MT output before sending results to a human reviewer, run quality checks, facilitate access to translation memories, and even offer real-time editing suggestions to linguists as they translate.”
Project Manager BioSciences, Questel
“Our ambition is not only to create exciting new features based on current AI technology but also to look well beyond that at future possibilities, including larger projects that can encompass entire patent families and even complete datasets. Imagine conversing with our software, asking for trends, summarizing complete datasets, classifying with excerpts, and reasoning. This is just the beginning for artificial intelligence and intellectual property at Questel."

Founder & CEO of ipQuants
“With Questel as our partner, we’re excited to empower IP professionals worldwide, helping them to achieve superior patent prosecution more efficiently via dedicated workspace supported by AI-driven automation."

CTO, qatent
“The unparalleled richness and structure of the Questel global patent, trademark, and design databases is an incredible learning ground for AI-algorithms and will quickly give more depth to our calculations.”
Questel partners with tech company ipQuants
Through our strategic partnership with the innovative Swiss-based company, ipQuants, we are enabling clients to harness the potential of AI-automated workflows to elevate patent prosecution. Along with streamlining the automation of document collection and response generation during prosecution, this collaboration offers IP attorneys an unparalleled platform for data analysis, trend spotting, and strategic decision-making. This new partnership also serves to increase the AI capabilities and expertise of the entire Questel group.
To find out more about how we are leveraging AI to simplify patent prosecution work, watch our on-demand webinar featuring Tony Afram of ipQuants and Dr. Andres Buser of F. Hoffmann-La Roche.
