| schestowitz | "A lot of the (over) excitement about LLMs seems to reveal something about the perception of the role of a patent attorney, which I think is sometimes shared by some in the profession. Rose is 100% right to say:<br />"...LLM are similarly very good at summarising and reformatting text whilst retaining the pre-existing meaning of the text, e.g. from a bullet point list into paragraphs. However, both of these tasks are far removed fr | Oct 05 16:45 |

Personally I think a lot of attorneys could do better to use some of those words much less.<br />I am sure Rose is also right to say &q | Oct 05 16:45 |
| schestowitz | uot;LLM are thus good at providing long-form novelty or inventive step arguments, provided that they are spoon-fed the argumentative points in the form of prompts." But how useful really is that as a tool? Do examiners really want "long-form" arguments when the same point could be made in a succinct list of bullet points?<br />Yes there are certain conventions we have to (or probably ought to) follow but the ability of LL | Oct 05 16:45 |
| schestowitz | Ms is a reminder of the importance of style over substance. Patent attorneys (at the moment) have nothing to fear if substance matters.<br />I remember reading a few years ago some survey that CIPA had done about training. One of the top complaints from trainees was about supervisors "correcting" work for style. I am sure an LLM could be made to take in an already good draft specification and turn it into one that the trainee' | Oct 05 16:45 |

| schestowitz | "@Anonymous<br />Indeed the definition of the technical field in the application is key. And I mean by "technical field" a reference to a certain field of use, which can also equated to the "art" of the skilled person.<br />In the discussions about the "closest prior art" and the "technical problem", be it subjective or objective, a missing but key element is generally the "art" of the s | Oct 05 16:45 |

This may sound surprising, since the skilled person is a most critical notion and it is explicit in the EPC (as in other patent laws), not just for inventive step but also for sufficiency and implicit for novelty. Whereas the PSA and the CPA are not in the EPC.<br />In my view, the presentation of the PSA as a three-step approach starting with the CPA is defective because it skips the preliminary crucial step which is th | Oct 05 16:45 |

| schestowitz | "Great article Rose as usual. You mentioned how LLMs could be used to replace the work typically done by trainees to keep costs down. I think this is actually a really big concern for our industry. Firms that can replace their trainee work with LLMs operated by skilled attorneys could be significantly more cost-efficient than those that don't. If trainee attorneys can be entirely replaced, how will firms justifying the cost of training | Oct 05 16:46 |
