The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is significantly expanding its use of artificial intelligence in patent examination, introducing a new AI-powered image search tool—DesignVision—for design patent examiners. This follows the broader implementation of Similarity Search, an AI tool that is now mandatory for utility patent examiners and has become a key part of locating prior art efficiently, especially in foreign jurisdictions.
For technology entrepreneurs, this development signals a shift toward faster, more data-driven patent examinations.With AI accelerating prior art discovery and improving examination quality, strategically crafted patent applications—especially those involving a clearly identified patentability focal point though an interactive search session with our members—are more likely to withstand scrutiny and hold long-term value. Investing in IP that is both globally defensible and AI-resilient is increasingly critical when building a scalable, monetizable technology portfolio.
