85% of IP teams now use AI for patent search. But adoption is not the same as accuracy. AI can find documents that look relevant but miss critical claim elements. It can give confident outputs that prompt researchers to stop too early. It can surface topically similar art that fails on the one limitation that matters. Join GreyB’s senior patent researchers as we walk through the exact failure modes and the discipline to avoid them.
How AI surfaces topically close documents that fail on the exact claim elements that matter and the checkpoint that catches it.
Why confident AI outputs cause researchers to stop searching before finding the strongest reference and how to keep the search alive.
Words like "in response to," "without," and "in the absence of" define the invention. AI often misses them. Here is how to catch the gap.
Why English only, familiar jurisdiction searching leaves prior art behind and how synonym expansion and classification analysis closes the gap.
The strongest prior art is often two citation hops away. How to use forward and backward citations and family analysis as active search leads.
What the USPTO duty of candor requirements mean for AI assisted searches and what human review actually needs to look like.
AI detects broad features and misses the smaller limitations that define the claim scope.
“Without,” “excluding,” “free from” — exclusions that AI scanning of positives misses entirely.
UE, WTRU, mobile station — the same concept, five different terms. Weak keyword lists make everything downstream weak.
When the right words are missing, classification search reveals what text search cannot reach.
The strongest prior art is often two hops away from the first result. Citation analysis is a search tool, not paperwork.
The first publication found is rarely the best version. Family members can have clearer figures, broader claims, and better dates.
Prior art does not stop at English databases. Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Soviet era references have decided real cases.
