AI Project
AI Project provides its clients with security system services by making full use of information technology.
AI Samurai Inc. operates at the intersection of artificial intelligence and intellectual property law, providing a platform designed to streamline the patent application process. The company was founded in September 2015 by CEO Haruhiko Shirasaka, a patent attorney, with the mission of creating a world where humans and AI can co-create.
The core of its business is the AI-powered patent examination simulation system, "AI Samurai ONE". This platform allows users to input an invention's description and, in turn, receive an evaluation of its patentability. The system conducts a search for prior art, assesses the novelty and inventive step of the invention, and provides a ranked result of the likelihood of securing a patent. This service is designed to significantly reduce the time and costs associated with traditional patent searches, which can be a considerable burden for inventors and companies. The company's technology is a result of a collaboration between patent attorneys and AI engineers and is also supported by joint research with academic institutions like Osaka University.
AI Samurai serves a range of clients, primarily in the B2B software and cloud services market. Its customer base includes companies in the manufacturing sector, such as those in transportation machinery, as well as firms in the gaming and advertising industries. The business model appears to be subscription-based, with different plans available to cater to the needs of various users, from individual inventors to large enterprises. For instance, they have offered plans with monthly fees to make the service accessible to a wider audience. The company also collaborates with a network of patent and law firms, called 'Samurai Masters', to offer more comprehensive intellectual property services to its users.
