Case Study: Comparison of Novelty Search Outcomes Using AI-Based Tools and an Integrated Approach Involving PatSeer

Dr. Tarakranjan Gupta, Head Operations, pHNiNE Kaleido, 🌐

This case study examines the results of novelty searches conducted using different AI-based tools and compares them with an integrated approach involving PatSeer. The findings indicate that combining PatSeer’s AI-based search capabilities with a paid AI tool can produce a more extensive patent and literature search than relying on standalone or combined AI-based searches alone. The session will highlight how incorporating PatSeer into the novelty search process can help improve search coverage and thoroughness. 

Innovations in PatSeer and IP8: The Latest Developments in AI-Powered IP Intelligence

Discover the latest innovations across PatSeer and IP8, including advancements in Semantic AI and their implications for intellectual property work. The session will explore how emerging AI capabilities are being applied across patent search, analysis, intelligence, and related IP workflows. 

Panel Discussion 2: From Implementation to Innovation: The Road Less Travelled

Moving from efficient implementation to meaningful innovation requires more than improving existing processes. 

This panel shifts the focus from executing established methods to creating a culture that encourages original thinking and breakthrough innovation. It will explore the strategic changes, organizational practices, and leadership mindsets required to move from operational excellence toward market-defining innovation.
