The world of intellectual property is a complex one, and the need for accuracy and compliance to guidelines and timelines cannot be emphasized enough. Ensuring quality patent applications requires proper strategy, and subject matter experts, and is a time-consuming process that is prone to error.
This is where artificial intelligence can make a monumental difference. With AI, IP workflows within innovation-driven companies can become more streamlined and accurate. Make no mistake — AI is a game changer for Indian innovators in more ways than one can imagine.
Background and state of IP ecosystem in India
Protecting new innovations has traditionally involved creating complex search strategies for searching through existing patents to ensure that the filed application is a unique one.
As can be imagined, this is a time-consuming process with a high margin for error, given that one can easily miss out on relevant information amidst the sheer vastness of patent data.
To avoid this, companies rely on experts to assist with the prior art searching, drafting, and eventual filing of the patent. This has historically made it difficult for smaller companies in India to apply for the patents they need.
