Patent x Generative AI Seminar: Pitfalls in Patent Operations Streamlined by Generative AI – Practical Aspects of Patent Translation and Patent Search

【Overview】 ■Title The 'Pitfalls' of Patent Operations Streamlined by Generative AI – Practical Aspects of Patent Translation and Patent Search ■Date & Time April 15, 2026 (Wednesday) 16:00-17:00 JST ■Format Online Seminar ■Participation Fee Free (Pre-registration required) ■Speakers ・Ayaka Fukuda (AI Patent Translation Inc.) ・Tomoyuki Hirai (CEO, Legal Tech Inc.) 【Seminar Outline】 The rapid advancement of generative AI is significantly changing the landscape of patent practice. Especially in the fields of patent translation and patent search, while AI dramatically improves work efficiency, the importance of specialized verification and judgment has become higher than ever. Although AI is a powerful tool, it often harbors subtle problems such as mistranslations, discrepancies in contextual understanding, and inconsistencies in technical interpretation, which are not easily noticed on the surface. Therefore, it is crucial to use AI not merely as an automation tool, but to 'combine it with expert knowledge'. This seminar will explain the next-generation patent practices realized through the collaboration of AI and experts, introducing AI utilization know-how cultivated in the field of patent translation and the latest trends in AI tools supporting patent search and analysis. 【AI Patent Translation Inc. Presentation Outline】 The rapid evolution of generative AI has significantly transformed the environment surrounding patent translation. In the process of embracing AI with its advanced language processing capabilities as a powerful support tool, the role of translators has shifted towards more advanced technical and legal verification. AI translations may appear very good at first glance. However, careful verification often reveals hidden problems. To master its correct use, it is necessary to grasp these problems and filter out errors. We will share our practical knowledge cultivated in the field on the following themes: ・Know-how/precautions for using AI in patent translation ・Our human management initiatives for handling AI 【Legal Tech Inc. Presentation Outline】 Using 'MyTokkyo.Ai', an AI patent search and drafting tool provided by Legal Tech Inc., as a case study, this presentation will explain the latest trends in streamlining patent search and technical trend analysis—which originally require advanced search formulas and specialized knowledge—with AI, how to utilize patent search in R&D and new businesses, and the changing role of intellectual property operations in the AI era. ■Co-hosted by AI Patent Translation Inc.
