IP × AI Legal Tech Seminar

Title: Should you file an application for that research? — An end-to-end process from organizing inventions to investigation and proposals with AI

Date & Time: April 14, 2026 (Tuesday) 16:00–17:00 JST

Format: Online (Microsoft Teams)

Fee: Free (Pre-registration required)

Speaker: Tomoyuki Hirai (CEO, LegalTech Inc.)

【Seminar Details】

Patent searches have traditionally been supported by specialized skills such as crafting search queries and designing classifications.

However, in the field of research and development, many cases start from a state where:

・Inventions are not well-organized

・What needs to be investigated is not clear

The reality is that a significant amount of time is spent on the 'pre-processing' stage before the actual search begins.

This seminar focuses on this pre-processing stage and introduces a practical workflow using MyTokkyo.Ai for:

“Organizing Inventions → Prior Art Search → Creating Invention Proposal Documents”

Even from information at the level of invention memos or technical descriptions, AI can organize and structure it based on patent information, making it usable for investigation and internal review.

Furthermore, in the search process, the AI visualizes the perspectives (keywords, patent classifications) it used for the investigation, allowing for a connection with conventional practices.

We will concretely explain how to utilize this in practice, based on the premise that AI handles the search and organization, while the final judgment is made by human experts.

【Recommended For】

・Those who want to turn R&D ideas into patents

・Those who spend a lot of time organizing inventions

・Those facing challenges in communication with the IP department

・Those who want to be able to conduct patent searches themselves

・Those interested in incorporating AI into their work but can't visualize how to use it

【What You Will Gain】

・How to connect invention memos to patent searches

・The specific process of organizing inventions using AI

・How to proceed with a prior art search (utilizing AI)

・The complete flow up to creating an invention proposal document

・Practical methods for bridging the gap between R&D and intellectual property
