Description
BlueFoot wants to build a machine translation and categorization solution for Chinese-language only patents. Enabling this translation and categorization provides insight into the Chinese domestic innovation landscape, and how IP theft by Chinese actors is being leveraged and monetized via the patent system. In particular, BlueFoot can help the Air Force (including its Phase 1 LoS signor, SAF/CDM) closely and accurately track Chinese actors’ domestic patenting activities in key technology areas (e.g., quantum computing, microelectronics, hypersonic, etc.) and how similar these patented technologies are to U.S. patents in the same technology areas. The solution would require creation of a custom emerging technology dictionary to enable the translation and categorization of Chinese-language only patents to technology areas.
