The Story Behind My AI Examiner ™

In a world full of AI patent search tools, most promise the same things—faster results, smarter algorithms, and sleek dashboards. But the truth is, the best patent search isn’t just about speed. It’s about experience, judgment, and knowing what matters—and what doesn’t.

​

That’s why I built My AI Examiner™ differently.

​

For nearly 27 years, I have conducted patent searches for inventors, including 15 years as a U.S. Patent Examiner. I know how prior art is interpreted. I know how §102 and §103 rejections are constructed. And I know how subtle differences in classification or phrasing can make—or break—a patent.

​

When I decided to build a search tool, I didn’t just create another algorithm. I created a proprietary AI-powered robo-examiner, trained exactly the way I was trained at the USPTO. It doesn’t simply hunt for keywords—it thinks like an examiner. It organizes, filters, and flags the same things I would, anticipating the connections and distinctions that can shape an invention’s future.

​

And, just like at the USPTO, where examiners are assigned to inventions based on an invention’s technical field—biotech, mechanical, software, and more—I built my system to work the same way. Instead of one AI, I built an entire task force of specialized robo-examiners, each one tailored to a specific discipline. A medical device is handled by the med-tech bot. A machine learning algorithm goes to the AI bot. Every invention is matched with the right expertise from the start.

​

But here’s where My AI Examiner™ truly stands apart: none of those search results go to a client without my review. Just as I once supervised junior examiners at the Patent Office, I personally review, refine, and approve every single search before it leaves my desk. AI can mimic process, but it cannot weigh nuance. It cannot sense what is missing from a disclosure. It cannot know when to pause, reconsider, or take a step back.

​

Only a human can do that. Only an examiner can do that.

​

By combining my lived experience with the speed and scale of a custom-trained AI, My AI Examiner™ delivers something no other tool can: precision, strategy, and insight in record time. Together, my AI team and I bridge the best of both worlds—the relentless efficiency of technology and the irreplaceable judgment of a human examiner.

​

Because in patent searching, speed matters, but accuracy and strategy matter more. My AI Examiner™ was built to give inventors both, so when it’s time to file, they can do it with clarity, confidence, and control.

​

It’s not just a search tool. It’s a strategic advantage. It’s the way patent searching should have always been.
