I posted this about a year ago. Might be a good time to repost it.
"Search With Stateful Chat" patent (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20240289407A1/en ) - appears to describe the Gemini app for smartphones.
"Method for Text Ranking with Pairwise Ranking Prompting" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20250124067A1/en ) - documents an experimental process described in this research paper titled "Large Language Models are Effective Text Rankers with Pairwise Ranking Prompting" (Cf. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.17563 ). There is no indication this was introduced into a live agentic system like Gemini.
"User Embedding Models for Personalization of Sequence Processing Models" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2025102041A1/en ) - documents an experimental process for improving recommender (sub-)systems (like movie searches) that incorporate large language models. The process is described in this research paper titled "User Embedding Model for Personalized Language Prompting" (Cf. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.04858 ).
"Systems and methods for prompt-based query generation for diverse retrieval" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2024064249A1/en ) - updates a 2022 patent for a process named PROMPTAGATOR that generates queries more efficiently based on a small number of examples, as described in this research paper titled "Promptagator - Few-shot Dense Retrieval from 8 Examples" (Cf. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2209.11755 ). This could be used to generate query fan-outs (but query fan-out has been used in multiple systems at least since the 1990s, so there are many implementations).
"Instruction Fine-Tuning Machine-Learned Models Using Intermediate Reasoning Steps" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/US20240256965A1/en ) - documents an older method for fine-tuning instructions submitted to LLMs, as described in this 2022 research paper titled "Scaling Instruction-Finetuned Language Models" (Cf. https://www.jmlr.org/papers/volume25/23-0870/23-0870.pdf ). The work has been superseded by this paper titled "Mixture-of-Experts Meets Instruction Tuning: A Winning Combination for Large Language Models" (Cf. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.14705 ).
This is the AI Overviews patent, titled "Generative summaries for search results" (Cf. https://patents.google.com/patent/US11769017B1/en )

Game Developer: EA makes photosensitivity and speech recognition tech patents open-source. “In 2021, EA made a pledge to let the wider game industry use its accessibility-related patents at no cost, and now the publisher has added 23 new patents to its lineup. As of today, third parties can freely use patented technology such as improved speech recognition, simplified speech tech in games, […]

Hi all! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I graduated law school earlier this year. I practice at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.
I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for 2 years now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.
My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.

#Stratasys uses 10 patents, two of them orginally from #Makerbot (anyone remember?) to sue #Bambulab in two separate US court cases. Patent infringement claimed on using a heated bed, using a purge tower, force detection etc. Seems to me that Stratasys is patent trolling really hard ATM. https://www.tomshardware.com/3d-printing/3d-printer-maker-bambu-lab-faces-patent-infringement-lawsuits-that-could-threaten-hobbyist-3d-printing-in-general

Another #introduction from a different angle:
I have programmed computers since 6 years old in 1988, professionally from ~1998. Done #MachineLearning, #AI, #NeuralNetworks from late 1990s, #robotics and #MobileRobotics from 2000-2005.
#FullStack #SoftwareEngineering work from #embedded to #enterprise, from #coding to #CTO.
I have #authored over 20 #patents, many #publications in #software and AI.
I build #communities and create #OpenInitiatives in various #causes and #topics.

We just saw this on the birdsite from @wbfeldman. Similar observation to ours regarding devices and just published in JAMA. Great that this aspect of patent manipulation is getting attention!

From 2000-2021, manufacturers earned $111 billion on brand-name #inhalers in the US AFTER patents on their active ingredients had expired.
How?
By patenting other aspects of the products (e.g., delivery devices). -
Introducing myself using hashtags. I teach and research on #intellectualproperty rights, mostly #patents. I am interested in use and circulation of #geneticresources and have worked on the #BBNJ Agreement #NagoyaProtocol and #ABS mechanisms. #VaccineEquity and #pharmapatents remain a preoccupation as is #IP across the #lawanddevelopment divide. I enjoy #teaching on the #LLB and #LLM.
