Our team has built countless successful products in the AI and NLP spaces and brings decades of experience to this ambitious endeavor. AutoPat is the culmination of four years of research which began in 2019 funded by grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF).In our early stages, we developed several pioneering AI features. Many of these have now been incorporated into state-of-the-art patent analytics tools, including highly accurate semantic searching, classification, and retrieval-augmented generation. However, we refused to settle with just incorporating AI into existing workflows and adamantly believed in AI's ability to take on the process as a whole, not just individual components.
