2.2 Improving the quality of machine translation by applying AI technology

As early as 2008, the China Patent Information
Center launched the first Chinese-EnglishMachine Translation system for Chinese patentdocuments based on mixed strategies, providing
online Chinese-English machine translation
service for Chinese patent information to thepublic through the website of the CNIPA.

2.2 Improving the quality of machine translation by applying AI technology
In 2019, the China PatentInformation Center introduced
the neural network machinetranslation technology into thepatent domain.
The multi-lingual neural network
machine translation system has
been successfully applied to thenational intellectual property
bureau's intelligent patent review
and retrieval system.

2.3 Initially realizing intellectualized patent management by applying AI technology
China Patent Technology Development
Corporation has made full use of patent
big data, independently developed
intelligent patent value assessment andpatent management products (IP7 +patenthierarchicalmanagementsystem), and taken advantages ofintelligent tools to release the potentialof big data and accelerate the activationof patent assets.

2.3 Initially realizing intellectualized patent management by applying AI technology
The intelligent rating and valuation of patents are realized by applying big data, cloudcomputing, distributed computing, and AI technologies such as deep learning, semanticrecognition, etc.

By referring to the scores given by big data and experts, the patent value is classified, and theclassification management and the label management can be carried out.

The system uses AI algorithm to analyze the target patent citation big data, and intelligently
recommends the potential demanders, competitors, and industry-university-research
partners of the target technology.
