[Seminar Overview]

The rapid advancement of generative AI is significantly transforming the landscape of patent practice.

In fields such as patent translation and patent search, while AI usage dramatically improves efficiency, the importance of professional verification and judgment has become more critical than ever.

Although AI is a powerful tool, it often hides issues that are not immediately apparent, such as mistranslations, gaps in contextual understanding, and inconsistencies in technical interpretation.

Therefore, it is essential to use AI not merely as an automation tool, but in combination with professional expertise.

This seminar will introduce know-how on AI utilization cultivated in the field of patent translation and the latest trends in AI tools that support patent search and analysis, while explaining the future of next-generation patent practice realized through the collaboration between AI and experts.

[AI Patent Translation Co., Ltd. Session Overview]

The environment surrounding patent translation has changed drastically due to the rapid evolution of generative AI.

As we embrace AI with advanced language processing capabilities as a powerful support tool, the role of the translator is shifting toward more sophisticated technical and legal verification.

AI translations may look excellent at first glance. However, careful verification reveals hidden problems.

To use it correctly, one must understand these issues and catch the errors. We will share our practical knowledge gained in the field, covering the following themes:

・Know-how and precautions when using AI for patent translation

・Our company's human management initiatives for handling AI

[LegalTech, Inc. Session Overview]

Using the AI patent search and drafting tool "MyTokkyo.Ai" provided by LegalTech, Inc. as a case study, we will explain the latest trends in streamlining patent searches and technical trend analysis—which typically require advanced search formulas and expertise—using AI. We will also discuss how to utilize patent searches in R&D and new business development, and how the role of intellectual property operations is changing in the AI era.
