Time Travel: 2014

After submitting a software patent application in the country.

Lin Hui started to apply for a U.S. patent again.

In this time and space, it seems that all countries can apply at the same time.

Instead of applying for a Chinese patent first like in previous lives,

Only then can you apply for patents in other countries or regions.

Compared with patent application in China, Lin Hui feels that patent application in the United States is more urgent.

In 2014, many domestic Internet companies are still busy making money.

How can I have time to chat with Lin Hui?

When it comes to patent applications in the United States, the situation is somewhat different from that in China.

In the United States, it is easy to have disputes over software patent applications.

Of course, there is basically no controversy over domestic software patent applications in the United States.

However, there are still many controversies when it comes to software patent applications in the United States from other countries or regions.

To put it bluntly, he is a typical double-standard dog.

In order to avoid controversy, Lin Hui decided to directly apply for a patent on the algorithm itself.

Rather, a series of steps in an algorithm are patented.

Under U.S. patent law, an algorithm is considered a series of mathematical steps and procedures.

Patent applications involving algorithms are relatively less troublesome.

When specifically applying for a patent, Lin Hui did not apply for a patent on the entire extractive/generative news summarization algorithm.

Lin Hui only needs his "original" part:

——It is enough to apply for a patent on the generative news summarization algorithm.

To bite off more than we can chew, if Lin Hui covers all aspects of extractive summarization algorithms, it also includes them.

It is very likely to be involved in patent disputes.

After all, patents related to extractive summarization algorithms are mainly in the hands of Americans.

That would probably cost you both your wife and your troops.

And it is enough to patent only generative summarization algorithms.

Although the generative summary algorithm in Nanfeng APP still has various problems.

You can't do it alone.

But now the generative summary algorithm in Nanfeng APP can only be said to be the second generation of the generative summary algorithm.

A little lameness is also normal.

In fact, when the generative summary algorithm develops to the third generation, it can completely abandon the extractive summary algorithm and start a solo career.

The third generation summary algorithm Lin Hui also has it.

As for why not take it out?

No way, it's too advanced.

At least it's too advanced for people in this time and space.

If we say extractive news summarization is the first generation.

(The first generation of generative summary algorithms is probably the 1.5th generation)

Then the second generation of generative summary algorithm is undoubtedly the second generation.

The extractive/generative compound summary algorithm is probably the 2.5th generation

The third generation of generative summary algorithms is basically the third generation.

It's understandable if he's a generation and a half ahead.

But it seems a bit unreasonable to be directly two generations ahead.

But that was only before.

If this second-generation patent application for generative abstracts is successfully approved.

It didn't take long for Lin Hui to "reasonably" come up with the third generation of the generative summary algorithm.

In terms of technology, if you want to be ahead, be ahead of the United States!

Specific to the patent application process, Lin Hui did not narrowly name the patent as a generative news summary algorithm.

Instead, it is directly named a generative text summarization algorithm.

Although Lin Hui's algorithm is mainly used as a news summary.

But that doesn't mean it can't handle other forms of text.

Such as blogs, chats, reports, etc., the algorithm can also handle it.

Due to the technical specialization, the algorithm is not as sophisticated in processing other types of text as it is in news processing.

But that's not important.

A good patent does not depend on how difficult the technology is.

Rather, it lies in how broad the scope of its claims is.

In this time and space, whether it is China or the United States.

When applying for a software patent, there is no need to disclose all the detailed technical content.

It only needs to clarify the technical route and verify it with the actual effect of the algorithm.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Hui can handle the technical content of the patent application without much effort.

But that doesn't mean everything is over.

Lin Hui found a legal team with a fairly good rating on the website where he was looking for an outsourcing website for related consultation.

As for why we need legal consultation when applying for a patent.

This is an essential process.

It may not be so troublesome at home.

But when it comes to complex intellectual property matters in the United States, it would be a dream without dealing with a legal team.

What's more, the so-called patent is a legal document disguised as a technology.
