Abstract

Artificial intelligence is considered to be a system capable of thinking and reacting
in ways that resemble human intelligence by simulating cognitive processes, and
reasoning to solve problems. AI technologies can also learn rapidly and deeply,
generalize from data, generate new solutions, and perform highly accurate
evaluations. As a result, they are now widely used across many industries. Patents
are among the most valuable assets individuals and entities possess, and securing
exclusive rights requires formal registration. However, because substantive
examination governs patent registration at both national and international levels, the
process is often complex, highly technical, and time‑consuming. Given the
capabilities of artificial intelligence and the challenges inherent in the registration
process, the question arises whether AI can be used in patent procedures—either as
an expert system or as a tool assisting patent examiners. This study, using an
explanatory‑analytical and library‑based method, examines this issue and concludes
that AI can be effectively employed in patent classification, prior‑art searches, and
the assessment of novelty. Nevertheless, like other technologies, AI also presents
drawbacks, the most significant of which are the lack of transparency and the
potential loss of human employment opportunities
