Seattle startup TurboPatent is releasing a pair of new products designed to improve the patent application process, with help from artificial intelligence. <\/p>\n
TurboPatent, which raised $1.4 millionin funding earlier this year, focuses on corporations and law firms, automating taskslike formatting or document preparation, for example, freeing up people to work on more complex, high-value work. The service is designed to cut costs, save time and lead to more accurate patent documentation. <\/p>\n
The new products are called RoboReview and RapidResponse. RoboReview uses AI and predictive analytics to automatically analyze and review draft patent applications. The company says this will reduce to seconds a process that can normally take several people multiple days to complete. RapidResponse helps speed upoffice actions,written correspondence between an applicant and patent examiner during the application process. <\/p>\n
Like any procedure that involves people, the review process is subject to human error, said TurboPatent CEO James Billmaier. TurboPatent automates the most tedious and time-consuming parts of the process, which drastically cuts down on the likelihood of potential issues going unnoticed. That leaves humans to decide whether or not to submit a patent and if so, what alterations need to be made. <\/p>\n
Formerly known as Patent Navigation, TurboPatent has an experienced team led by co-foundersBillmaier and Charles Mirho. Billmaier was previously CEO of Melodeo, a cloud-based media platform company that sold to HP in 2010. He also teamed up with Paul Allen in 1999 to launchhome-entertainment technology company Digeo, which was eventually sold in 2009 to ARRIS Group Inc. <\/p>\n
Mirho, meanwhile, is a patent law veteran, having worked as a patent counsel at Intel and later as a managing partner of a patent law firm. He also has a computer science degree from Rutgers. <\/p>\n
