2026年4月21日、OpenAIは「ChatGPT Images 2.0(基盤モデル:gpt-image-2)」をリリースしました。Googleの最新画像生成モデル「Nano Banana 2(正式名称:Gemini 3.1 Flash Image)」と比較すると、知財実務においてマーケティング素材や標準的なクリアランス調査用の比較画像を高速に量産する場合は「Nano Banana 2」が適しており、特許明細書用の複雑な概念図の作成や、意匠出願に向けたプロンプトベースでの微細なデザイン調整が必要な場合は「ChatGPT Images 2.0」がより強力なツールとして機能するようです。 生成AIに「ChatGPT Images 2.0」を知財実務へ用いた場合のインパクトを深堀させました。なお、生成AIによる調査・分析結果は、公開された情報からだけの分析であり、必ずしも実情を示したものではないこと、誤った情報も含まれていることについてはご留意されたうえで、ご参照ください。 ChatGPT Images 2.0 On April 21, 2026, OpenAI released “ChatGPT Images 2.0” (base model: gpt-image-2). Compared with Google’s latest image generation model, “Nano Banana 2” (official name: Gemini 3.1 Flash Image), it appears that in intellectual property practice, “Nano Banana 2” is better suited for rapidly mass-producing marketing materials and comparative images for standard clearance searches. On the other hand, “ChatGPT Images 2.0” functions as a more powerful tool when creating complex conceptual diagrams for patent specifications or when fine-grained, prompt-based design adjustments are required for design patent filings. I conducted an in-depth analysis using generative AI on the impact of applying “ChatGPT Images 2.0” to intellectual property practice. Please note that the research and analysis generated by AI are based solely on publicly available information and may not necessarily reflect actual conditions, and may include inaccuracies.

A key feature of this report is its empirical approach, examining intellectual property not merely in terms of the number of filings, but in relation to corporate value and business performance. Particularly noteworthy are the findings on GX (green transformation) patents. While the number of applications (quantity) does not necessarily enhance corporate value—and may even have a negative impact—the number of citations (quality) shows a clear positive effect. This strongly suggests a shift in IP strategy from “quantity to quality.” Furthermore, the analysis of patent portfolios reveals that corporate performance improves when firms strike a balance between concentration in specific technological fields (deepening) and expansion into diverse areas (exploration), rather than simply increasing the number of patents. The fact that this supports the concept of “ambidextrous management” from an IP perspective is highly insightful for practitioners. The report also points out the presence of information asymmetry between companies and investors regarding patent quality and IP management, which may hinder appropriate corporate valuation. To address this issue, the importance of proactive disclosure of IP-related information is emphasized. Overall, the report presents three key evidence-based messages: “IP quality matters more than quantity,” “portfolio design determines competitiveness,” and “information disclosure enhances corporate value.” It offers valuable insights for rethinking intellectual property not as a cost, but as a source of value creation. I have asked generative AI to conduct a deeper analysis of this report—please refer to it as appropriate. Note that the AI-based analysis relies solely on publicly available information and may not fully reflect actual conditions; it may also contain inaccuracies.

In the field of design creation, AI generation tools such as Midjourney and Adobe Firefly have been incorporated into standard workflows, and in July 2025, the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office) introduced the AI image search tool “DesignVision” into design examination. Meanwhile, the Japan Patent Office (JPO) continues discussions toward revising the Design Act in light of advances in generative AI technology, with the aim of submitting a bill to the ordinary session of the Diet in 2026. I asked generative AI to provide a deeper analysis of how generative AI is being used in design-related work.

生成AIに、意思決定を左右する内部情報の重要性を深掘りさせましたので、ご参照ください。なお、生成AIによる調査・分析結果は、公開された情報からだけの分析であり、必ずしも実情を示したものではないこと、誤った情報も含まれていることについてはご留意されたうえで、ご参照ください。 The Importance of Internal Information in IP Landscape Analysis Why is it that even a highly sophisticated IP landscape (IPL) analysis—based on publicly available information such as patent data and market intelligence—often receives feedback like, “It’s certainly a good analysis, but something feels off,” and struggles to gain acceptance within organizations (e.g., top management, business unit executives, and R&D leaders)? The primary reason is said to be the lack of integration with “internal information,” such as the company’s historical context and the tacit knowledge held at operational levels. A major contributing factor is that internal (confidential) information like the following is not incorporated:
I asked generative AI to explore in depth the importance of internal information that affects decision-making.

These guidelines systematize the default rules under current tort law regarding liability for damages in cases where AI causes infringement of rights. They classify AI usage into two categories: (i) “assistive/support-type,” where AI aids human decision-making, and (ii) “reliance/substitutive-type,” where decision-making is delegated to AI. For each category, the guidelines clarify the scope of the duty of care borne by the relevant parties. In particular, in the field of intellectual property, the guidelines emphasize that, in response to risks of infringement involving copyrights, patent rights, and trade secrets, users are expected to establish appropriate verification frameworks, while developers are required to implement technical guardrails. While the guidelines include certain IP-related case examples, we also used generative AI to further explore additional potential scenarios in the IP domain by applying the framework presented in the guidelines.

The time required for contract review has been reduced by up to 90%, patent analysis can now be completed in a matter of minutes, and AI agents capable of autonomously conducting contract negotiations are already being put into practical use. I asked generative AI to conduct an in-depth analysis of how generative AI and AI agents are being utilized in IP licensing operations.

Generalist AI社が開発した「GEN-1」は、物理世界で自律的に動く身体性AI(フィジカルAI)の基盤モデルで、従来のAIとは異なり、言語データに依存せず、「Data Hands」という独自のデバイスで収集した膨大な人間活動データから物理法則を直接学習しています。 その結果、産業利用の基準となる99%のタスク成功率と、競合を圧倒する約3倍の動作速度、そして未知のトラブルに即興で対応する物理的常識を兼ね備えているということです。この「GEN-1」について、生成AIに深掘りさせました。なお、生成AIによる調査・分析結果は、公開された情報からだけの分析であり、必ずしも実情を示したものではないこと、誤った情報も含まれていることについてはご留意されたうえで、ご参照ください。 2026/4/9 Generalist、実世界ロボットの動作を最適化するAI基盤モデル「GEN-1」発表 成功率99%、従来比最大3倍高速 https://ledge.ai/articles/generalist_gen1_real_world_robot_motion_foundation_model Robot AI Foundation Model “GEN-1” “GEN-1,” developed by Generalist AI, is a foundation model for embodied AI (physical AI) that autonomously operates in the physical world. Unlike conventional AI, it does not rely on language data; instead, it directly learns physical laws from vast amounts of human activity data collected באמצעות its proprietary device called “Data Hands.” As a result, it reportedly achieves a 99% task success rate—the benchmark for industrial applications—along with approximately three times faster operation compared to competitors, and possesses physical common sense that enables it to improvise and respond to unforeseen problems. I asked generative AI to conduct an in-depth analysis of this “GEN-1.” Please note that the investigation and analysis by generative AI are based solely on publicly available information and may not necessarily reflect the actual situation; they may also contain inaccuracies.
