Abstract

The USPTO disseminates one of the largest publicly accessible repositories of scientific, technical, and commercial data worldwide. USPTO data has historically seen frequent use in fields such as patent analytics, economics, and prosecution & litigation tools. This article highlights an emerging class of usecases directed to the research, development, and application of artificial intelligence technology. Such usecases contemplate both the delivery of artificial intelligence capabilities for practical IP applications and the enablement of future state-of-the-art artificial intelligence research via USPTO data products. Examples from both within and beyond the USPTO are offered as case studies.
