The epidemic disease caused by COVID-19 has greatly affected
people's daily work and life. For example, many intellectual
property (IP) employees are working remotely from home. It is
believed that this epidemic situation will accelerate changes
promoted by artificial intelligence (AI) to people's daily work
and life. Let's imagine the future, and take a look at which
tasks AI could take over in patent prosecution.
Before discussing this issue, let's first learn about AI.
The development of machine learning drives progress in AI, and the
learning capability of a machine comes from a large quantity of
training data including definite results. For example, if a trained
machine is expected to be able to identify masks and goggles, a
great number of photos of masks and of goggles, need to be
inputted. These photos are labeled for identifying which are the
masks and which are the goggles; and finally, the photos and labels
are inputted together into the machine. After
