I would think there are many changes that will be coming to the entire patent process. In particular, AI discovery of new inventions will throw a wrench into the system at it's core. What happens when 6 months from now, 90% of new inventions were originated by AI.
I built Grounded Discovery Labs, a system that takes a science or engineering problem statement and produces a ranked portfolio of candidate concepts, along with decisive experiments and kill criteria.
This is not just a thin AI wrapper around a model. The point is not simply to generate ideas, but to force candidate concepts through a structured workflow that pressure-tests them, repairs weak points where possible, and tries to separate stronger directions from noise and hallucination.
