On Stage

Reliable and Efficient AI in Patent Systems

Good AI Requires Good Data — How Both Must Work Together

Artificial intelligence is increasingly positioned as a universal solution—yet in IP practice, not every problem is a nail, and AI should not be treated as a hammer. In corporate patent environments, responsible, compliant, and effective AI deployment requires significantly more than generic Generative AI models. Data quality, domain specificity, transparency, and governance are decisive factors. At the same time, GenAI has clear technical limitations that must be addressed through intelligent system design, curated patent data, and controlled workflows. 

This lecture explains Questel’s approach to AI in patent systems: how AI can be integrated in a way that is compliant, reliable, and operationally efficient, while delivering real value to patent professionals. Attendees will gain insight into how good data, well‑designed AI architectures, and domain expertise must work together to support high‑stakes IP decisions.
