Abstract

This work-in-progress paper proposes a framework to generate and measure personalized patent claims. The objective is to help inventors conceive better inventions by learning from relevant inventors. Patent claim generation is a way of "augmented inventing." for inventors. Such patent claim generation leverages the recent transfer learning in the Deep Learning field, particularly the state-of-the-art Transformer-based models. In terms of system implementa-tion, it is planned to build an "auto-complete" function for patent claim drafting. The auto-complete function is analyzed from four different perspectives: extent of generation, generative direction, proximity of generation, and constraint in generation. Technically, the framework is composed of two Transformer models. One is for text generation and the other is for quality measurement. Specifically, the patent claim generation is based on GPT-2 model and the measurement of personalization is based on BERT model. The training data is inventor-centric and comes from the Inventors Endpoint API provided by the USPTO.
