  The USPTO disseminates one of the largest publicly accessible repositories of
scientific, technical, and commercial data worldwide. USPTO data has
historically seen frequent use in fields such as patent analytics, economics,
and prosecution & litigation tools. This article highlights an emerging class
of usecases directed to the research, development, and application of
artificial intelligence technology. Such usecases contemplate both the delivery
of artificial intelligence capabilities for practical IP applications and the
enablement of future state-of-the-art artificial intelligence research via
USPTO data products. Examples from both within and beyond the USPTO are offered
as case studies.
