Before applying AI-proposed revisions to a patent specification, distinguish the parts you want to change from the wording you want to retain. A practical workflow is to compare the text before and after revision, lock the phrases you want to keep, and then check the results against saved versions and activity records.
Define the Scope of the Revision Request
Include both the section to review and the purpose of the revision in your request. For example, you might ask, “Please review claim 1 to make the criteria for adjusting the charging current explicit.” According to Patenty’s feature guide, the AI examines the specification and related materials to prepare proposed revisions within the requested scope.
As you prepare the request, also identify the terms and expressions you want to retain. If the document includes a proper name such as CADlingo, for instance, note its original spelling as an item to check. For technical terminology, also check that expressions referring to the same component are consistent throughout the document.
Compare Changes and Lock Wording You Want to Retain
Once a revision is proposed, compare the sentences before and after revision to see which expressions have been added or changed. Before choosing wording to apply, check not only whether it reads naturally, but also whether it serves the requested purpose and aligns with the invention materials. Patenty lets you compare AI-proposed wording, select it, and apply it.
Use phrase locking for key expressions you have decided to retain. The illustrative example in the guide shows a proposed revision that makes the adjustment criteria more specific, alongside a lock on the phrase “adjust the charging current.” Distinguish the conditions you want to change from the wording describing the action you want to retain. After applying the revision, reread it in context with the surrounding sentences.
Check the Results Using Versions and Review Records
After applying revisions, compare saved document versions to check the final wording. Patenty supports comparing saved versions and restoring earlier versions. Use before-and-after comparisons when reviewing individual suggestions, and version comparisons when checking a document that incorporates multiple revisions.
When preparing for the next review, also check each author’s changes and the review decisions. The saved text and activity records let you see which revisions were applied and recheck consistency in terminology, drawing reference signs, and claims. Users make their own judgments about the scope of protection and response strategy.
