LegalTech Unveils Tokkyo.Ai for the Medical Device Sector

On May 29, 2025, LegalTech Inc., headquartered in Tokyo, announced the official launch of its intellectual property support AI platform, Tokkyo.Ai. This innovative service aims to assist the rapidly evolving medical device and diagnostic equipment industries, particularly in the realm of AI diagnosis technologies and Software as a Medical Device (SaMD).

Background: The Intersection of Medicine and AI

In recent years, the medical device industry has witnessed a surge in the use of AI for various applications, including image diagnostics, voice record analysis, and remote consultation aid. As SaMD gains traction, the emphasis is shifting from hardware to software. However, this shift comes with challenges. Many software algorithms and UI designs lack patent applications and remain as unprotected, proprietary code assets. Additionally, numerous cases have emerged where overseas startups and major medical IT firms preemptively secure patents, leaving smaller manufacturers and R&D departments puzzled about what aspects could be patentable.

Solution: Supporting Patent Strategies with Tokkyo.Ai

Tokkyo.Ai stands out as a specialized AI designed to support the patenting of AI diagnosis and control software within the medical sector. This platform offers various functionalities to streamline the patent application process.

Key Features

• - Automatic generation of patent specifications and claims drafts based on diagnostic logic, processing flows, and UI layouts.
• - Comparative analysis with overseas patents (U.S., China, and Europe) to identify differences and assess infringement risks.
• - An IP map function that promotes collaboration between R&D and IP departments.

Implementation Cases

Several medical device manufacturers have already utilized Tokkyo.Ai to achieve significant results. They have used the platform to:

• - Automatically generate draft specifications for new medical devices.
• - Conduct functionality comparisons with existing patents, thereby clarifying differentiation elements.
• - Leverage their applied patents to negotiate licensing agreements with larger firms.

Benefits of Implementation

The introduction of Tokkyo.Ai aids in:

• - Strengthening competitive advantage through the intellectual property transformation of software assets.
• - Enhancing technical negotiation power and brand value during overseas expansions and partnerships.
• - Enabling startups and R&D departments to develop IP strategies with ease.

Future Expansion Plans

Looking ahead, LegalTech aims to collaborate with HyperJ to facilitate:

• - Certification of legitimate licenses, version control, and blockchain history management for medical AI software.

In conjunction with AI Komyo on IDX, the goal is to systematically bridge the gap between clinical expertise and technology, establishing a comprehensive platform for “medicine, software, and intellectual property.” As the saying goes, “AI can diagnose, but we must protect our patents with AI.” Tokkyo.AI is positioned as a robust partner for intellectual defense in the medical device and software industries, transforming companies’ research outputs into future competitive advantages.
