Show Notes

In this segment of "Intellectual Property News" with Richard Gearhart on the Passage to Profit Show, we dive into a surprising new shift at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office: the introduction of AI into the patent search process. The USPTO has launched a pilot program using artificial intelligence to search inventions before examination — but with a twist. The results won’t be used by examiners, leaving inventors and attorneys wondering if this “informational only” search will help or create more confusion. Join us as we break down what this means for innovators, patent applicants, and the future of IP, and whether AI is about to streamline the system — or disrupt it.
