RESPONSE BY QATENT CO-FOUNDER 2/2

Beyond clients, we are looking for partners in this field. Qatent can hyper-specialize Hey Hi (AI) on top of the base brick for specific verticals (e.g. cosmetics, etc).

So as a temporary conclusion: please continue considering this market as an emerging market, and please come back to test again. Meanwhile, if you have feature requests, [04:22] schestowitz[TR2] from baby steps to big challenges, come find us and discuss !

All the best,

I am one of the two co-founders of qatent (my cofounder is Kim Gerdes, Professor in ComputationalLinguistics at Paris-SaclayUniversity, and former head of the master track in AI). As a qualified French patent monopoly attorney,I worked for patent monopoly law firms, I.C.B.M. and Roche Diagnostics: I know the very high expectations of my former colleagues in p [04:39] schestowitz[TR2] harma.

Please findbelow some thoughts:

- qatent did itscomputations on all IPC/CPC classes, including C and D. Qatent is workable for chembio but is surely not optimized for this huge and diverse field (at least as of today). But again, it is workable. We focus on the "fundamental" layer, mechanics, software, medicaldevices, etc. We make steady progress (new release every month in average, so p [04:39] schestowitz[TR2] lease come back and test again!) but there are tons of challenges for this "very basics" layer (e.g. jurisdiction-dependent draftingstyles, patentability diagnostics at claims' drafting, handling of consistency, handling of sufficiency of disclosure partly, machine vision to speed-up the description of figures, reference numerals management, etc).

- with respect to the generation of claims: they are not fit [04:39] schestowitz[TR2] -for-purpose "out of the box". It lacks the incorporation of business insights (single or multiple providers, etc) and regulatory insights (e.g. mandatory redundancy of systems in medical devices), for example. Maybe this will change in the future. We are working hard to sophisticate this generation of claims,and our next release will likely improve the situation. But please note that today, you can already use the chat [04:39] schestowitz[TR2] bot and reprocess claim sets (e.g. rephrase method claims into system claims, handle product-by-process, handle Markush claims, etc).

- the proficiency in the use of chatbots is highly variable amongstour users.A chatbot is like a virtual partner that knows a lot of things (like the skilled person, it knows all patents on earth), but is not proactive (not yet), it will respond only. If asked the right questions, yo [04:39] schestowitz[TR2] u can get amazing value. It is your role as a patent monopoly attorney to dive deeper and deeper.The deeper the question, the better value you extract from the AIs. At qatent, we try to facilitate this extraction but we cannot (and do not want) to automate 100%. We encode the "canonical" best drafting practices, which may be considered as "non-debatable", to guide the Hey Hi (AI) models. This minimal set of ru [04:39] schestowitz[TR2] les is not trivial and we probably can discuss subtleties endlessly. As an apart, for example, in my opinion, the problem-solution approach shall be encoded by the IP community as a whole, including patent monopoly offices (yes!), not by proprietary systems ... Code was law, now law is code, but who is writing the code ? For chembio, you know better than me that clinical data cannot be faked, that plausibility / credibility of te [04:39] schestowitz[TR2] chnical effects is at stake, etc. Decision G2/21 is super interesting in this view." ● Mar 01 [07:11] schestowitz[TR2] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libreplanet-discuss/2025-02/msg00019.html [07:11] -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-lists.gnu.org | All too quiet coverage of seemingly important court case regarding softw [07:11] schestowitz[TR2] "There is a case going on which can impact not just the copyleft licenses [07:11] schestowitz[TR2] but even the non-reciprocally licenses: [07:11] schestowitz[TR2] "I don't think the community realizes that if the [07:11] schestowitz[TR2] Ninth Circuit upholds the lower courts ruling, [07:11] schestowitz[TR2] it wont just kill GPLv3," PureThink's John Mark [07:11] schestowitz[TR2] Suhy told The Register.

    FreeBSD Status Report Fourth Quarter 2024 | The FreeBSD Project

    [11:58] schestowitz[TR2]

    Here is the fourth and last 2024 status report, with 44 entries.

    [11:58] schestowitz[TR2]

    It shows: 2024 has been a tremendously successful and busy year. Usually, one would expect the final months in a year to be less busy, with people leaving for holidays and New Years celebration. We still managed to deliver and see great progress on so many things!

    [11:58] schestowitz[TR2]

    Collecting and compiling this report took longer than planned, but it was worth the wait.

    The price of statelessness is eternal waiting
    [12:05] schestowitz[TR2]
    [12:05] schestowitz[TR2]

    How much could you reduce resource usage (or, if you prefer, improve CI build speed) by giving up on statelessness? Let's find out by running some tests. To get a reasonably large code base I used LLVM. I did not actually use any cloud or Docker in the tests, but I simulated them on a local media PC. I used 16 cores to compile and 4 to link (any more would saturate the disk). Tests were no [12:05] schestowitz[TR2] t run.
