IPWatchdog offers a webinar sponsored by Israeli company Similari: "Augmenting Innovation and Competitive Intelligence using AI based IP Insights”
March 16, 2021, at 12pm ET | 5 PM CET
Everyone understands the importance of monitoring technology trends, competitors and new market entrants to support innovation and portfolio optimization but engaging in competitive landscape analysis takes time — lots of time. In the fast-moving world of technology, those in the day-to-day IP operations end of businesses must find efficient ways to do their jobs better to be able to extract valuable insights from endless data.
Similari is an Israeli start-up company that has pioneered an AI-based patent data insights platform that proactively delivers technology and competitor analysis monitoring on an ongoing basis. Analyze data quicker and find technology trends faster using their machine learning algorithms and social-media-like newsfeed display, that allows you to provide continuous like/dislike feedback to adjust the algorithm to your IP data preferences.
Join Gene Quinn, the founder of IPWatchdog.com, along with J. Monty Wright, Managing Director, IP Strategy at AON, and Udi Cohen, CEO and Co-Founder of Similari on Tuesday, March 16, 2021, at 12pm ET, for a free webinar conversation on how technology trend analysis can augment ongoing research efforts to stay abreast of technology markets. We will review Similari’s tool and demonstrate a variety of insights into several markets of the future that have relevance for both the automotive sector and Silicon Valley, more specifically the race to own the technologies that will be incorporated into cars of the future. We will take a look at the following industries:
1. Electric vehicles, specifically battery technology;
2. Autonomous Vehicles; and Similari
3. Graphic User Interfaces and Infotainment.

==================
Similari is known for its work for using AI in patent searching. See quotations from some documents below:
1. Statement by Mr. Saar Abramovich, ILPO's Patent examiner at WIPO Conversation on AI and IP, the Third session, 4 Nov. 2020.
“My name is Saar Abramovich, Patent Examiner; I am taking part in a team at the Israeli Patents and Trademarks Office, which examines the use of search engines based on AI technology, designed to find prior art documents during the process of patents examination…
During the last two years the ILPO has tested 4 state of the art systems through a series of comparative studies. The tests were designed to compare the AI systems performance to human examiners performance, and included two complementary questions: Does the system find the same prior art pieces found by a human examiner, and Does it also find prior art not found by the examiner?
The system with the best results was Similari, of an Israeli startup company by the same name. Similari was successful in finding a third of the prior art documents cited in search reports conducted by examiners without the aid of AI system; these prior art documents were included amongst the first 100 results of the system. . Similari's AI search engine was also occasionally successful in adding relevant publications to those found by examiners.
Based on these results, the office currently uses the AI system regularly as starting point for searches in the fields of computers, medical-instruments, physics, electronics and mechanical engineering, both as international search authority and as a national registrar. The examiners are instructed to go through the first 50 publications Similari finds, and complement the search with a "traditional " search where needed.

2. Udi Cohen. “Artificial Intelligence Will Help to Solve the USPTO’s Patent Quality Problem”. Posted on IPWatchdog Nov. 23, 2019.
“Better, Faster Prior Art Searches. AI tools can streamline the application review process and the quality of the results by reducing the amount of time examiners spend researching prior art. Instead of two to four days of prior art research, artificial intelligence can do all that leg work in one to two hours…”

Similari Launches Top Ranked Patent Search Platform Stateside. Israeli Startup Brings [Israel] PTO-Lauded AI Tools to U.S. IP Counsel
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fresh off a first place finish in the Israel Patent Office’s test of automated patent search tools, Tel Aviv-based Similari launches its patent analysis services in the United States market. Utilizing the powers of artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP), the deep learning engine revolutionizes patent searching, saving users money, time and effort.
Similari automatically analyzes a new invention by comparing it to a database of millions of patent records to find relevant prior art results in a matter of seconds — streamlining the entire patent search process and eliminating human error. The technology compares full documents’ content and ideas — not just words. It is this recognition of the textual relationships that describe scientific concepts that allows the engine to compare inventions more accurately than traditional search methods….
“We are three best friends who were challenged by our business partners to leverage our passion for AI and machine learning to reinvent the patent search process – labor intensive research that relies on manual and keyword-based searches; involves large, dense databases; and is highly prone to human error,” said Udi Cohen, the company’s Chief Executive Officer. “… we are eagerly anticipating the results of testing by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.”
In the United States, Similari offers two business model options – a SaaS subscription and managed service searches. The technology is currently being used by intellectual property (IP) firms and in-house departments throughout Israel.
