Exploring Patent Data with Artificial Intelligence: An Automated Approach Using Langchain, Open AI, Google Search API, and Browserless

Navigating the Challenges of Data Extraction in Intellectual Property: Overcoming Obstacles with the Help of AI for Enhanced Analyses. With the rapid advancement of generative AI, let’s discuss how it’s possible to automate formerly complex tasks such as analyzing a 2023 Excel file from WIPO’s official patent gazette, identifying the top 10 applicants, and generating detailed summaries. Ultimately, we’ll integrate these insights into our Data Lake, but Data Warehouse or database options are also feasible.

Increasingly, we face a range of challenges in extracting data for Intellectual Property analyses, from a lack of standardization to the technological limitations of official bodies. Often, we find ourselves resorting to manual methods to collect specific information that can be integrated into our Data Lake for comprehensive data analysis.

However, thanks to the ongoing advancements of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly following the popularization of ChatGPT in November 2022, we’re witnessing the growing ease of automating tasks previously considered unreachable through traditional programming.

In this article, I’ll demonstrate how it’s possible to read an Excel file from a 2023 official publication of the World Intellectual Property Organization (OMPI), look for the top ten applicants, and employ a robot to search for these applicants on the internet. The AI will create a summary of each of these applicants, clarifying the type of company, their business lines, global presence, and websites, among others.

The obtained information will be saved in an Excel file. However, it’s worth noting that this data can be easily transferred to a Data Lake, Data Warehouse, or any other database system you prefer to use for your data analysis needs.

What is Google Search API?

Google Search API is a tool that allows developers to create programs that can search the internet and return results. It is like a library of code that developers can use to build their own search engines or other applications that use Google’s search technology. It is an important tool for people who want to build websites or apps that use search functionality.

What is Browserless?

Browserless is a cloud-based platform that allows you to automate web-browser tasks. It uses open-source libraries and REST APIs to collect data, automate sites without APIs, produce PDFs, or run synthetic testing. In other words, it is a browser-as-a-service where you can use all the power of headless Chrome, hassle-free¹. It offers first-class integrations for Puppeteer, Playwright, Selenium’s WebDriver, and a slew of handy REST APIs for doing more common work.

Conclusion

The challenges of data extraction in Intellectual Property have always been a roadblock to effective and efficient analyses. However, with the advent of advanced generative AI models, we’re now able to automate complex tasks that used to require manual effort. From analyzing extensive patent gazette files to identifying top applicants and generating comprehensive summaries, AI is revolutionizing the way we handle data extraction in this field.

The integration of tools such as the Google Search API and Browserless illustrates the growing potential of AI to not only enhance the accuracy of our data but also to significantly reduce the time taken for these tasks. Our discussions have shown that whether the data is to be integrated into a Data Lake, Data Warehouse, or other database options, AI capabilities make it all possible and increasingly convenient.

However, it’s important to remember that as we continue to navigate the changing landscape of Intellectual Property, staying adaptive to technological advancements is crucial. AI will continue to evolve, and as it does, the ability to utilize it to its full potential will become an invaluable asset in our field. The challenge, therefore, is not just in overcoming the obstacles of data extraction but also in keeping pace with the rapid evolution of technology, and the many benefits it brings to Intellectual Property analyses.

As we look to the future, the promise of AI in overcoming challenges and enhancing analyses in Intellectual Property is incredibly promising. While we have made significant progress, this is only the beginning of the journey. The full potential of AI in this area is yet to be completely unlocked, and its future applications may very well reshape the entire field of Intellectual Property as we know it today. This rapid evolution of technology is not something to be feared, but rather, it’s an exciting opportunity that we must embrace, and I look forward to witnessing where this journey takes us.

That’s it for today!
