• Title: Pap2Pat: Towards Automated Paper-to-Patent Drafting using Chunk-based Outline-guided Generation
• Authors: Valentin Knappich, Simon Razniewski, Anna Hätty, Annemarie Friedrich,
• Abstract summary: We present PAP2PAT, a new challenging benchmark of 1.8k patent-paper pairs with document outlines. Our experiments with current open-weight LLMs and outline-guided generation show that they can effectively use information from the paper but struggle with repetitions, likely due to the inherent repetitiveness of patent language.

• Abstract: The patent domain is gaining attention in natural language processing research, offering practical applications in streamlining the patenting process and providing challenging benchmarks for large language models (LLMs). However, the generation of the description sections of patents, which constitute more than 90% of the patent document, has not been studied to date. We address this gap by introducing the task of outline-guided paper-to-patent generation, where an academic paper provides the technical specification of the invention and an outline conveys the desired patent structure. We present PAP2PAT, a new challenging benchmark of 1.8k patent-paper pairs with document outlines, collected using heuristics that reflect typical research lab practices. Our experiments with current open-weight LLMs and outline-guided chunk-based generation show that they can effectively use information from the paper but struggle with repetitions, likely due to the inherent repetitiveness of patent language. We release our data and code.

  This paper explores the feasibility of employing smaller, domain-specific encoder LMs alongside prompting techniques to enhance performance in specialized contexts. Our study concentrates on the Italian bureaucratic and legal language, experimenting with both general-purpose and further pre-trained encoder-only models. The results indicate that while further pre-trained models may show diminished robustness in general knowledge, they exhibit superior adaptability for domain-specific tasks, even in a zero-shot setting.

Secondly, to further enhance the relevance of the generated text to the inputs, we utilize continuous inverse prompting to refine the process of natural language generation.
