Call for Papers-"Special Issue on IP Data Analytics and IP Strategic Management in Deep-Tech Industries Using Large Language Models, Generative AI, and Agentic AI – Focuses on R&D- and Capital-Intensive Industries"

Journal: World Patent Information

Publisher: Elsevier

Submission Deadline: 31 Dec 2026

Key Requirements:

• Focus on LLMs, generative AI, and agentic AI for patent analysis and IP strategy.

• Strong emphasis on deep-tech industries such as semiconductors, energy, EVs, autonomous vehicles, and space/satellite systems.

• Submissions must show methodological contribution and/or domain-specific insight beyond conventional AI/ML or rule-based tools.

Overview

This special issue examines how foundation models and agentic systems are changing patent search, prior-art analysis, drafting, classification, landscaping, valuation, and broader IP strategy. It is especially interested in R&D- and capital-intensive sectors where IP is tightly linked to engineering know-how, standards, supply chains, and regulatory constraints. The issue welcomes both methodological innovations and practical empirical studies that demonstrate real value in high-stakes IP settings.

Key Research Themes

• Domain-specialized LLMs for patents and standards documents.

• Agentic AI workflows for prior-art search, FTO, and patentability.

• Generative AI for disclosure drafting and claim-chart generation.

• Multimodal and code-aware patent analytics.

• IP landscaping, competitive intelligence, and technology road mapping.

• Sector-specific analytics for semiconductors, data centers, energy, EV, and space systems.

• Cross-lingual and cross-jurisdictional IP analytics.

• Evaluation benchmarks, error taxonomies, and human-in-the-loop systems.

• Legal, policy, ethical, and inventorship implications.

Submission Details

• Submissions open 1 Feb 2026.

• Target deadline is 31 Dec 2026; early submissions are encouraged.

• Submit via Editorial Manager and choose the specified article type.

• Accepted articles will appear in regular issues and be grouped virtually as the special issue online.
