Time: 2026-04-22 Click count: 679
为消除参与人工智能检索自动化试点项目(ASAP!)的资金障碍,美国专利商标局(USPTO)依职权免除依据《联邦法规汇编》第 37 编第 1.182 条提交、用于参与该项目的申请所对应的、《联邦法规汇编》第 37 编第 1.17 (f) 条规定的申请费。本豁免适用于 2026 年 3 月 23 日及当日之后,使用 PTO/SB/470 表格、依据《联邦法规汇编》第 37 编第 1.182 条提交的该项目参与申请。

此外,美国专利商标局将提高该项目的受理专利申请数量。该局现计划在各实用新型专利审查技术中心(TC)间分配受理至少 3200 件专利申请,其中每个实用新型专利审查技术中心至少受理 400 件。美国专利商标局受理该项目参与申请的截止时间为 2026 年 4 月 20 日,或各实用新型专利审查技术中心均已立案至少 400 件该项目入选申请之日,以较早届满者为准。

什么是【ASAP!】?

一、核心定义与本质

美国专利 ASAP!(Artificial Intelligence Search Automated Pilot Program,人工智能检索自动化试点项目)是美国专利商标局(USPTO)于 2025 年 10 月 20 日 推出的 AI 辅助现有技术检索试点计划。

是在发明专利(Utility)实质审查开始前,由 USPTO使用内部 AI 系统对申请文件进行自动检索,并向申请人提供 提前检索结果 的官方服务。其本质是一份官方免费(2026.3.23 起)的专利申请 “提前体检报告”。

二、核心运作机制

1、检索触发:申请人在提交原始、非继续、非临时发明专利申请(Original, Noncontinuing, Nonprovisional Utility Application) 当日,使用 PTO/SB/470 表格提交参与[敏感词](Petition)。

2、AI 检索:USPTO 的 AI 系统基于 CPC 分类、说明书、权利要求书、摘要,在全球专利库(美国专利、预公开文件、外国专利)中检索。

3、结果交付(ASRN):向申请人发送 自动检索结果通知(Automated Search Results Notice, ASRN),列出多10篇相关的现有技术文献并按相关性排序。

关键属性:ASRN 不是官方审查意见(Office Action),无强制答复义务,不记入申请档案,不影响正常审查流程。

4、申请人策略:收到 ASRN 后,可在审查前主动修改权利要求、准备答复证据、请求延期审查或主动放弃申请
