    Abstract

    The role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the patent examination for the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), European Patent Office (EPO), and Indian Patent Office (IPO) is under development. Traditional patent examination systems currently encounter increasing difficulties in managing rising worldwide patent applications. The combination of machine learning (ML) technology with natural language processing (NLP) simplifies prior art research while improving patent classification methods and claims examination, thus enhancing patent examination effectiveness and precision. The USPTO uses similarity search as an AI tool and EPO utilises AI-PreSearch for automated classification and prior art identification tasks. The integration of AI in India focuses on modern process implementation to handle increasing numbers of patent applications and corresponding examination delays. The article shows how AI can reinvent global patent examination through specific recommendations for its future development.
