USPTO developing new artificial intelligence capabilities for examiner search tool

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is in the process of developing artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to add to the tool that patent examiners use for conducting prior art searches. When an examiner uses these AI capabilities in a prior art search, a notation that a search using AI capabilities was conducted will be documented in the search record.

You can find more information in the Official Gazette Notice available on the USPTO’s Patent Related Notices webpage.
