Further enhancement of PCT Applicant’s Guide

Now users can access AI-assisted summaries of updates

A new feature of the PCT Applicant’s Guide – the comprehensive collection of practical, step-by-step information on using the PCT system – is being rolled out during September.

WIPO is leveraging artificial intelligence to provide AI-assisted summaries of the latest updates to the PCT Applicant’s Guide. Users can review a summary of the latest updates when they access the Guide annexes online, and AI is also being used to expand the PCT Guide Updates that are emailed weekly to subscribers.

The AI-assisted summaries of updates are available in English, French and Japanese, and will be offered in eGuide versions in other languages in due course.
