LegalTech Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Tomoyuki Hirai) announced that its patent support AI platform, "MyTokkyo.Ai," has been first introduced by a company developing infrastructure inspection robots (company name undisclosed) for patent examination purposes related to AI-based deterioration assessment support technology.
In this case, for social infrastructure inspections such as bridges and tunnels, where assessment results vary among inspectors, an initiative was undertaken to organize the concept of objective deterioration assessment technology using AI as invention elements for patent application and to concretize it as an invention proposal.
■ Background of Introduction
As social infrastructure ages, there is a demand for standardized and efficient inspection quality. While the use of inspection robots is advancing, deterioration assessment based on acquired data still relies on human judgment, and the variability in evaluation criteria has been a challenge.
This company was conducting research and development to advance AI-based deterioration assessment, but faced an intellectual property challenge in how to organize its technological concept as an invention and clarify its differentiation from existing technologies.
■ Reasons for Adopting MyTokkyo.Ai
AI creates a research plan based on instructions.
Starts research.
An invention proposal has been created.
MyTokkyo.Ai, equipped with an AI agent specialized in patent practice, was adopted as a means to quickly translate concepts from the R&D stage into patent considerations.
The ability to automatically organize invention elements from the perspectives of "issues," "solutions," and "technical effects" based on input concept documents and technical memos, as well as the capability to conduct examinations based on prior art in related fields, were highly evaluated.
■ Utilization Status and Effects
Through the utilization of MyTokkyo.Ai, the following invention elements were systematically organized:
- Issues
Deterioration assessment depends on the inspector's experience, leading to variability in evaluation results.
- Solutions
Deterioration assessment support technology that classifies damage patterns and quantifies the degree of deterioration using AI based on image data and sensor data.
- Technical Effects
Improves the objectivity and reproducibility of assessments, contributing to the standardization of inspection quality.
This made it possible to concretize concepts from the R&D stage with a view to patent applications.
Future Outlook
In the infrastructure sector, alongside the advancement and efficiency of inspections, the objectivity and reproducibility of judgments are increasingly demanded. By utilizing MyTokkyo.Ai, it will be possible to efficiently visualize invention elements and proceed with patent examinations for such judgment support AI technologies.
LegalTech Inc. will continue to contribute to invention creation and the advancement of intellectual property strategies as a patent AI agent that supports corporate R&D activities from an IP perspective in fields that support social infrastructure, such as infrastructure, construction, and disaster response.
