AI - is transforming intellectual property
“Where most patents could previously be safely disregarded, formerly forgotten patents now matter.”
“The vast majority of patents do not matter. They are almost never enforced or licensed and, in consequence, are almost always ignored. This is a well-accepted feature of the patent system and has a tremendous impact on patent policy. In particular, while there are many aspects of patent law that are potentially troubling—including grants of unmerited patents, high transaction costs in obtaining necessary patent licenses, and patents’ potential to block innovation and hinder economic growth—these problems may be insignificant in practice because patents are under-enforced and routinely infringed without consequence.
… the technological developments are greatly increasing the salience of patents by making patents easier and cheaper to find and enforce. These developments—including private platforms’ adjudication systems and AI-driven patent analytics—profoundly impact how the patent system functions and upend the system’s present dependence on under-enforcement and ignorance.”

Generative AI alone has seen an eightfold increase in patenting activity since 2017
(WIPO). The monthly filing trends are part of an ongoing global increase, driven by advancements in AI models and technologies such as large language models (LLMs). According to WIPO, 2023: Early reports and data from patent offices suggest that AI-related patent filings continued to grow at a rapid pace, with a global increase of around 30% year-on-year.

AI related patent landscape if getting crowded and much more expensive and challenging to navigate.
Tech industry leaders, (such as Microsoft, IBM, Amazon) are filing an unprecedented number of patents spanning a broad spectrum of industries and domains. This explosion in patent applications, especially in fast-moving fields like AI, is leading to an increasingly crowded and complex intellectual property landscape. As companies push to innovate and bring products to market, navigating this environment is becoming far more difficult. The overlapping of claims, the proliferation of similar patents, and the sheer volume of filings create enormous challenges for companies looking to carve out their unique IP space.

"With years of experience in the Smart Antenna industry and my involvement in securing over 20 patents, I know firsthand how time-consuming and complex it can be to manually search through patent databases. It’s all too easy to overlook important patents due to minor variations in language or technical descriptions. However, with IPVectors' IP Analysis Report, the level of accuracy I observed was impressive. The AI-driven algorithms identified patents that were not only highly relevant but also very close to the original claims I was investigating. This precision helped me quickly pinpoint patents that may infringe on my work." Jim Brennan, Distinguished Engineer and holder of 20+ patents.
