Sounds like a problem AI could solve filtering patent applications before they make it to a person.

Former patent examiner here. Current AI patent search isn't that useful in my experience. The USPTO had multiple AI patent search tools circa 2022 (when I quit), most of which were of comparable quality to the similar documents listed at the bottom of a patent document on Google Patents.

I've posted before about some of the issues here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33506286
