Intanify AI Platform: Embedded AI for Automated IP Audit and Due Diligence
This is an incremental application of AI for SMEs in IP management, offering a domain-specific tool for due diligence.
The paper tackles the problem of helping small and medium enterprises (SMEs) extract value from intangible assets by introducing an AI platform for automated IP audit and due diligence, resulting in a deployed system with two completed cases and white-label versions for two firms.
In this paper we introduce a Platform created in order to support SMEs' endeavor to extract value from their intangible assets effectively. To implement the Platform, we developed five knowledge bases using a knowledge-based ex-pert system shell that contain knowledge from intangible as-set consultants, patent attorneys and due diligence lawyers. In order to operationalize the knowledge bases, we developed a "Rosetta Stone", an interpreter unit for the knowledge bases outside the shell and embedded in the plat-form. Building on the initial knowledge bases we have created a system of red flags, risk scoring, and valuation with the involvement of the same experts; these additional systems work upon the initial knowledge bases and therefore they can be regarded as meta-knowledge-representations that take the form of second-order knowledge graphs. All this clever technology is dressed up in an easy-to-handle graphical user interface that we will showcase at the conference. The initial platform was finished mid-2024; therefore, it qualifies as an "emerging application of AI" and "deployable AI", while development continues. The two firms that provided experts for developing the knowledge bases obtained a white-label version of the product (i.e. it runs under their own brand "powered by Intanify"), and there are two completed cases.
