Here at ktMINE, we’re proud to announce our AI-Chat, the next evolution of our AI-Assisted Search functionality which we launched in December of 2024. With AI-Chat, we’re taking our Search capabilities one step further! Created to enhance workflows, AI-Chat allows users to ask deeper questions about their search results. Our custom-trained AI combs the patent or agreement text to succinctly provide answers.
We promised that our AI would only get smarter and expand its capabilities over time. We are delivering on that promise.
This isn’t just an update, it’s a research innovation created to further streamline your process and strengthen your analysis. Ask our AI-Chat and get your answer within seconds, saving you hours that would be spent tediously shifting through documents.
Revolutionize Your Agreement Search
AI-Chat enables users to instantly search, interpret, confirm and cross-reference facts across licensing agreements and other IP-related contracts. This eliminates the need to manually review documents, improving comparability analyses, valuation, due diligence, portfolio management, negotiations, and executing DEMPE analyses. It makes users smarter and quicker, allowing them to prioritize the most important documents.
Through the AI-Chat, users can use natural language and prompts to ask questions that would have historically required manual document review. The following describes five key use cases by profession.
Agreement Search Use Cases
For IP Professionals:
- Instant access to agreement intelligence: Gain insights into agreement terms and extract the insights to support your engagements.
- Smarter risk analysis & compliance: Ensure you don’t miss critical issues that could impact agreement enforcement and value.
- Drafting & negotiation support: Understand common clause structures and industry standards as the AI suggests tailored provisions or flags potential risks.
- Saves time, adds strategic value: Advise clients with better insights that were previously hidden or difficult to find.
- Scalable IP management: Organize, retrieve, and analyze agreement terms based on your specific assessment requirements.
For Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs):
- Maximize IP monetization: Quickly identify high-value licensing terms, royalty structures, and revenue opportunities across agreements.
- Accelerate deal flow: Instantly access key clauses in collaboration contracts and license agreements to eliminate manual review.
- Enhance negotiation strategy: Learn from similar technology license agreements and surface strategic royalty rate structures for smarter, more competitive deals.
- Ensure compliance and protect ownership: Spot gaps or risks that could impact commercialization or future licensing.
- Scale tech transfer operations: Extract actionable insights from complex legal documents. Free up time for strategic partnership and innovation management.
For Transfer Pricing (TP):
- Streamline comparability analysis: Instantly search, review and compare royalty terms, licensing structures, and IP usage clauses across a wide range of agreements.
- Identify arm’s-length royalty rates: Leverage real world contract data to support defensible transfer pricing strategies and documentation.
- Accelerate benchmarking: Quickly filter agreements by industry, geography, exclusivity, and other key comparability factors, while prioritizing questions that meet your project’s requirements.
- Enhance audit readiness: With easy access to clause insights and standardized language, AI-chat supports your transfer pricing reports to document a defensible approach.
- Increase analytical efficiency: Focus on value and risk drivers by reducing manual document review.
Revolutionize Your Patent Search
AI-Chat also provides additional tools for patent professionals to search, interpret, verify, and cross-reference key facts across patent documents. As with ktMINE’s agreement search functions, AI-Chat enhances workflows for prior art analysis, patentability assessments, portfolio valuation, due diligence, and competitive intelligence. This enables users to focus on the most relevant patents, claims, and disclosures without getting bogged down in less critical content.
Using natural language prompts, professionals can interact with patent documents as if consulting a knowledgeable colleague, asking detailed questions and receiving precise, contextual answers in minutes rather than hours.
Five Ways to Leverage AI-Chat with Patent Results
- Accelerate prior art analysis: Use AI-Chat to quickly identify similar inventions, typical claim language, or common technical disclosures across large sets of patent documents, streamlining the search for relevant prior art during patentability or invalidity reviews.
- Summarize key claims and technical contributions: Instantly generate plain-language summaries of claims or technical descriptions to understand the scope of protection and innovation without reading full patent texts.
- Support freedom-to-operate and competitive intelligence: Use natural language queries to scan large patent sets for potentially blocking patents, overlapping claims, or emerging trends, enabling faster risk assessments and strategic insights.
- Track technological trends and innovation focus: Use AI-Chat to analyze keywords, claim language, and classifications across patent documents to uncover emerging technologies, R&D priorities, and innovation clusters within an industry or organization.
- Uncover product features from patent disclosures: Use AI-Chat to extract functional descriptions, use cases, and technical implementations from patent specifications, providing valuable insight into product features, design approaches, and potential applications tied any given invention.
Training Our AI
Using existing AI models, ktMINE’s AI-Chat is custom-trained to our platform’s ecosystem and our IP data. Users of both Chat with a Patent and Chat with an Agreement can rest assured that the results of their queries will remain contained within the document they are viewing, eliminating any outside noise or irrelevant information. In the past, these systems have been leveraged by ktMINE analysts to ensure data quality and accuracy. Now, you have the ability to expand its use to meet your project needs.
Data integrity and privacy are also at the forefront of everything we do at ktMINE. Any questions input into our system will only remain for a short time for quick user reference and are neither stored nor tied to your user data, keeping your queries protected.
Enhance Your Research with ktMINE
ktMINE is dedicated to making your life easier, continuously pushing the boundaries of IP data innovation. AI-Chat is the next step for our ever-expanding portfolio of technologies created to save you time and give you the edge over your competitors.
