Haynes and Boone, LLP Partner Raghav Bajaj spoke with Law360 and Bloomberg Law, and Partner Dina Blikshetyn was quoted in a World Trademark Review article after The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office detailed risks facing attorneys using artificial intelligence, warning that they must ensure that filings are accurate and humans played a role in inventions, which attorneys say illustrates that ethical rules are unchanged in the AI era.
Bajaj told Law360 that AI currently has potential for analyzing documents, but using generative AI to write patent applications and similar tasks is "still a little bit too new, and a little bit too unknown, and there have been too many horror stories that have come out early, to fully go down that path."
“If a particular piece of prior art was cited during prosecution, that can affect whether the patent gets reviewed or not,” Bajaj said to Bloomberg.
“With generative AI tools that create video and images from text, AI-generated submissions can look realistic and like they were actually used in commerce,” Blikshetyn stressed to World Trademark Review. “It is good to see that the USPTO is thinking about those use cases and is cautioning against them.”
