My past experience of AI-assisted patent drafting is mainly with Qatent, and now I am testing Redigendis www.redigendis.com.
I have drafted several patents with Qatent, but the interface is a little chaotic. It does show the potential as a smart drafting assistant. It is a steep learning curve because I needed to change the way that I drafted applications – more preparation beforehand to get a pretty good draft before generating the final one. It is particularly helpful to make sure that you don’t forget anything, but you spend a lot of time deleting suggestions. It is also a worry that AI-things get left left in the application, or something is accidentally deleted.
I have recently switched to Redigendis. I prefer their approach – they are adding the AI elements to a solid patent drafting platform that already integrates the drawings. The conversion to a final version is in real-time and per section, so it offers more control. Please contact www.linkedin.com/in/wouterkempes/ if you need more info.
I can see how different clients will also use the tools themselves – they will often take the risks because of the reduction in costs. This will not completely replace patent attorneys, because they will need someone competent to fix all the problems and get the applications granted.
The main problem that I see in the future is the creation of a lot of “prior art” with AI which will make getting a patent much more difficult / expensive.
