`Excited to be invited as a guest lecturer at Northwestern School of Law, sharing my thoughts on legal tech
`entrepreneurship, and the best pathway to success.
`| will also be sharing Visualize IP's platform, and how
`it will shape computer vision patent search.
`| will share the class link when/if available!

`
`Looking forward to our team digging into |Prally's search tool. We will be doing a full test, and will release
`our findings when complete. We are testing against previously vetted and confirmed search results from
`an 1) invalidity perspective, and 2) FTO perspective. The main question to be answeredis: can utility
`patent Al search tools such as |Prally make our team moreefficient, etc. but most importantly improve
`search efficacy.
`If there is a net positive impact, IPrally will surely find a place in our workflow.
`
`So, we are putting our decades of experience and best practices to the test, and will take an empirical
`comparison approach. Wewill release our findings upon completion. &

`
`SPSG has seen a 100% uptick this year in our Expert Witnessservices, relating to prior art estoppel, and
`other prior art search purposes. You'll soon see our name on many upcoming cases. SPSG has become
`synonymous with patent search expertise, and | couldn't be more proud of the reputation we've built the
`past 11 years. Only onward and upward from here. «ij

`About a week ago, we had a client ask us to perform FTO's on searches, where they already had A.l. search
`results. This was a prime opportunity to go head-to-head with the Al.
`I'm more than excited to share
`someof our results.
`
`Wehave someinitial takeaway numbers from one of the FTO's,it is very compelling:
`
`1. SPSG found 15 highly relevant references.
`2. A.l. only found 1 out of the 15 highly relevant references.
`3. Of the 50 references in the A.l. search results, only 10 out of the 50 appeared during SPSG's search
`strategy. These 10 references were deemed oftertiary relevance, at best.
`4. SPSG found 100% of all most relevant/useful prior art. The A.l. demonstrated a 6.6% success rate in
`locating any of the 15 keyprior art.
`5. A.l. search results did not improve SPSG's search efficiency or effectiveness.
`
`The A.l. tool used is a well-known one. Our goal is not to denigrate A.I. tools, but to shed light on where
`they are actually useful in the patent sphere. Patent searching is difficult. Effective patent search requires
`communication with the client, and a deep contextual understanding of the technology (among many
`other things that can't be done in a software U/l), and how wecan translate that into a search strategy.
`This process cannot be replaced by typing a paragraph into an Al.
`
`| do think utility patent A.I. search can be used in the early stages of a search to perhapshelp with
`classification, but that is also something we can do veryeasily as professional patent searchers.
`Nonetheless, this was an interesting (and telling) real-life case study. What do you guys think?

`
`Commercial patent search tools. There are more options available than ever before, however mosttools
`are older legacy search platforms.
`It's been a while since we've been compelled to try a new tool, and I'm
`glad wedid.
`
`It was built by patent searchers,
`At SPSG this year, we decided to give a newer tool, called Patworld a try.
`and offers the same coverage as all the other tools, e.g. Patbase, Total Patent, etc.
`
`Wearetotally blown away by Patworld's capabilities. At the end of the day,all the patent databases get
`their raw data from the same place,i.e. lighthouse,IFI, etc. The real innovation comes from how they
`connect their U/I to the back-end. You can tell Patworld was built for the patent searcher, by the patent
`searcher. The workflow is outstanding.
`
`The cost of Patworld is also incredibly competitive (in a time where legacy patent tools are only increasing
`in cost).
`
`If you'd like to learn a bit more, comment below or DM me.

`Visualize IP is becoming the go-to for all USPTO rocket docket design searches. Our system is more
`comprehensive than human search,and is at least half the cost. You can also receive an analyst-assisted

`
`SPSG was recently asked to perform FTO searches that were already searched by one ofthe Al patent
`search platforms. We are beyond thrilled to compare our results to the Al, in a true head-to-head. We are
`hoping to be able to share (redacted of course) our results, at least in a qualitative output. Stay tuned...

`
`Thrilled and proud to havefinished our 2nd expert witness prior art estoppel case of 2023, with our 3rd
`case upcoming.
`
`As we have experience with defendants presenting their own counter prior art experts, deposition
`arguments,etc. - we've finely-tuned our approach to skilled searcher declarations. Behind our successful
`skilled searcher reports is a battle-tested approach and methodology. Our results and record speak for
`itself.

`
`Amazing outcome by our team! There is nothing more satisfying than being the 2nd or 3rd at-bat with an
`invalidity search project, and then knocking it out of the park. So proud of our team, and our collective
`mindset to perform at the highest level. We have alwayslet our work speak for itself. Onward!

`
`AWESOME victory here for our client, Boston Scientific and counsel at Arnold Porter.
`was one the most fun casesI've had the pleasure of working on.
`
`| have to say, this
`
`| was honored to serve as expert witness for prior art estoppel in this case, and couldn't be happier with
`this outcome. Onward! «i
`
`Some excerpts from Summary Judgement:

`"..Throughouthis opinion, Lhymn used clear language indicating the reasonableness and probability of his
`methods...

`

`..Second,Plaintiffs’ expert Lhymn provides a substantial report detailing various methods that a skilled
`searcher could have used to reasonably discover the references in question, including examples of search
`strings that a searcher could have used to reasonably find the prior art. (ECF No. 621-33 at 19-20.) Lhymn's
`analysis explained why the terms used in the search terms are reasonable in light of the Asserted Claims...
`
`..laken together, these three arguments mean no reasonable jury would find for Defendants here.
`Accordingly, because a skilled searcher conducting a diligent search reasonably could find all of the
`remaining asserted references, Defendants are estopped from asserting them individually or in
`combination with one another..."
