[Held Online on April 14, 2026 (Tue) at 16:00] Intellectual Property x AI Legal Tech Seminar

[Event Overview] Intellectual Property x AI Legal Tech Seminar Title: Should You File That Research? A Seamless Workflow from Invention Organization to Search and Proposal Using AI Date and Time: April 14, 2026 (Tue) 16:00–17:00 Format: Online (Microsoft Teams) Participation Fee: Free (Advance registration required) Speaker: Tomoyuki Hirai (Representative Director and CEO, LegalTech Inc.)

[Seminar Details] Patent searching has traditionally relied on specialized skills such as search formula construction and classification design.

Meanwhile, in R&D environments, many projects start from states where: - Inventions are not organized - It is unclear what needs to be searched

In reality, a significant amount of time is spent on these "pre-processing" stages before the actual search begins.

In this seminar, we will focus on these pre-processing stages and introduce a practical workflow using MyTokkyo.Ai that covers: "Invention Organization → Prior Art Search → Invention Proposal Drafting"

Even from information at the level of invention memos or technical descriptions, AI can organize and structure the data based on patent information, connecting it into a format that can be used for searches and internal reviews.

Furthermore, regarding searches, the AI can visualize the perspectives (keywords and patent classifications) used, allowing for integration with conventional practices.

We will provide a concrete explanation of how to utilize this in practice, under the premise that AI handles the searching and organizing, while the final judgment is made by experts.

[Recommended for those who] - Want to utilize R&D ideas for patents - Spend too much time organizing inventions - Have challenges communicating with the IP department - Want to be able to conduct patent searches themselves - Want to incorporate AI into their work but lack a clear image of how to use it

[What you will gain from this seminar] - Methods to connect invention memos to patent searches - Concrete processes for organizing inventions using AI - How to proceed with prior art searches (utilizing AI) - The end-to-end flow up to drafting an invention proposal - Practical ways to bridge R&D and intellectual property
