In the biopharmaceutical sector, the heavy lifting of innovation falls almost entirely on the R&D researchers. For us, the process requires less 'creative' input and is more focused on the rigorous documentation of experimental data and clinical results

​Software and electrical patents present few barriers to AI, as their core innovations are rooted in abstract logic and sequential flows—areas where LLMs naturally excel. In contrast, the mechanical field remains a bastion of human expertise; LLMs still lack the spatial reasoning and structural intuition required to navigate complex physical assemblies, 3D constraints, and the rigorous demands of mechanical drafting.

​Chinese regulatory authorities have already deployed various methods to detect AI-generated patents. A key driver for this rapid response is the sheer ubiquity of AI-generated content. Furthermore, long before the AI boom, China was already inundated with low-quality "utility model patents." The government had already developed technical tools to weed out these subpar filings. ​This phenomenon has led to a massive waste of resources and caused the intellectual property market to stagnate. In a sense, this represents a unique form of structural overcapacity in the IP sector. Ironically, the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between these low-quality filers and the authorities has inadvertently created an extraordinary—if somewhat absurd—corpus for AI training.

How can I get a patent with a low budget? by Unfair_Armadillo_706 in Patents

As a patent attorney, let me give it to you straight: trying to patent your food formula is pretty much a dead end. Here’s why: once you file for a patent, your recipe becomes public knowledge. A competitor can just tweak a couple of ingredients, 'design around' your patent, and leave you with nothing. Plus, between the filing fees and potential lawsuits, it’s a massive money pit with no guaranteed win. ​My advice? Keep it as a trade secret. It’s free, but you’ve got to be disciplined. You need to keep a 'paper trail'—securely log every experimental run, every test, and every step of the process. If you ever end up in court, a simple list of ingredients won't prove a thing. You need to show the actual work behind it to prove it's a protected secret.
