Abstract
This paper analyzes artificial intelligence (AI)-related patents that were granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) between January 2008 and December 2018. The study used both the USPTO patent classification systems and a keyword-based search to obtain AI-related patent information. By considering the AI-related patents, growth in AI-related research and development (R&D) activities, as well as AI trends during the period, are investigated. The leading countries and companies in AI and widely used techniques and applications of AI in each region are identified in order to evaluate the level of attention paid to AI in different countries and industries.
Highlights
Artificial intelligence (AI) is widely used in different industries, such as power electronics [1], transportation [2], healthcare [3], and telecommunications [4]
Pecht: artificial intelligence (AI) Trends Based on the Patents Granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)
In order to assess the state of the art and determine the trends related to AI technologies and applications, this study evaluated the patents granted by the USPTO between January 2008 and December 2018
Summary
Artificial intelligence (AI) is widely used in different industries, such as power electronics [1], transportation [2], healthcare [3], and telecommunications [4]. Tseng and Ting [16] analyzed AI-related patents that were retrieved from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) dataset, to examine AI technology developments and compare trends in different countries. In order to assess the state of the art and determine the trends related to AI technologies and applications, this study evaluated the patents granted by the USPTO between January 2008 and December 2018.
