The new Rowan GenAI Assistants uses a local language model and generative AI to help you draft select parts of your application. This initial version uses your claim language to generate text for the Title, Technical Field/Field of Invention, Background, Brief Summary, and Abstract sections of your application.

A local language model (Microsoft phi-3-mini) is downloaded to your system so that any patent matter you provide as input remains secure and local to you. Rowan has created pre-built generative AI workflows for each assistant that are also stored and run locally. No data is transmitted out of your system for any part of these generations.

The Rowan GenAI Assistants are currently enabled for users or organizations by request only. Contact your Account Manager or Tracy Campbell to request access.

How to Use the Rowan GenAI Assistants

  1. Draft at least one claim.

    Rowan's secure local LLM takes your claims as input for these generations, so the more claims you've drafted, the more options you'll have for comprehensive AI text generation.

  2. To generate a title for your application based on Claim 1, click the AI icon to the left of the Title section



    Note that the AI generation icon is grayed-out and unavailable until you have drafted at least one claim.

  3. To generate field of invention or technical field matter from Claim 1, click the Generate Field of Invention button available in any new paragraph in the Field of Invention or Technical Field section


    Note that the Technical Field section is available by default in select Rowan templates, but either section can be added manually to your application if desired.

    OR

    Click the More Options dropdown to select additional or alternative claims and Generate your field of invention from your updated selection.


  4. To generate background matter from Claim 1, click the Generate Background button available in the Background section, or click the More Options dropdown to select more or other claims, as described above.


  5. To generate a brief summary from Claim 1, click the Generate Summary button available in the Brief Summary section, or click the More Options dropdown to select more or other claims, as described above.


  6. To generate an abstract from Claim 1, click the Generate Abstract button available in the Abstract section, or click the More Options dropdown to select more or other claims, as described above.



    The generated text should meet USPTO standards for word count, but an alert will appear at the bottom of the section if adjustments are needed.

  7. Review and edit the AI-generated text inserted in the respective sections as needed.
