Machine-learning based irrelevant sentence classifierfiled 2022A text-comprehension system that uses a machine-learning classifier to flag and strip irrelevant sentences from a narrative, producing a pertinent summary and output indicium that condenses clinical or claims narratives before downstream processing.
The system receives a narrative made of one or more sentences and applies a machine-learning irrelevant-sentence classifier, trained on automatically generated data tailored to a specific circumstance, to score each sentence's relevance. Sentences judged irrelevant are removed to form a pertinent summary, from which the system generates an output indicia data object describing the narrative. By discarding noise before analysis, the approach supports faster and more accurate reading of long free-text records such as medical notes or claim descriptions. The filer is effectively protecting an automated way to pre-clean unstructured text so downstream models and reviewers work from the material that actually matters.

Machine learning-based systems and methods for breath monitoring and assistance of a patientfiled 2021A wearable system that uses sensors and machine learning to track a patient's breathing in real time, detect splinting points where breathing is impeded, and deliver timed electrical stimulation to target nerves to help the patient breathe through those points.
A wearable breathing monitor carries one or more sensors that continuously observe a user's respiration, while machine-learning techniques determine when a full breath occurs and identify splinting points where breathing is impeded. When a splinting point is detected, a paired stimulator apparatus transmits stimulation signals timed to that moment, applying electrical pulses to target nerves according to a stimulation schedule. The closed loop of sensing, model-based breath analysis, and automatically controlled stimulation is intended to assist the patient's breathing in real time. The capability being protected is the coordination of continuous respiratory sensing with model-driven, precisely timed neurostimulation delivered through a wearable device.

Machine learning techniques for predictive schema analysisfiled 2021A predictive structural analysis system that applies machine learning models for table column classification, clustering, structural variance generation, and emergence reporting to infer and monitor the schema of tabular data.
The system performs predictive structural analysis on tabular data using a combination of machine-learning models: table column classification models label what each column represents, clustering models group related columns, structural variance generation models detect deviations in structure, and emergence report generation models produce descriptive output about newly appearing structures. Together these components let the system infer and monitor the schema of data tables rather than rely on fixed definitions. The approach suits environments where data layouts shift over time and must be reconciled automatically, such as ingesting varied healthcare or claims datasets. The filer is protecting a model-driven way to classify, cluster, and flag changes in data structure and to report on emerging schema patterns.

Collision Analysis Platform Using Machine Learning to Reduce Generation of False Collision Outputsfiled 2024A telematics collision-detection platform that applies machine learning to sensor data and then filters false positives by checking whether the reading came from a known false-positive location and scoring the event against a telematics threshold, tightening the crash signals that feed auto claims.
The platform runs machine learning algorithms over received vehicle and telematics data to produce an initial collision output, then subjects any positive result to two suppression checks before affirming it. It first tests whether the data collection location falls within a set radius of a known false-positive location and, if so, reclassifies the event as a non-collision. Otherwise it computes a score from telematics data and compares it to a predetermined threshold, affirming a collision only when the score clears the bar. The output feeds first-notice-of-loss and automated claims triage for auto insurance, so the capability being protected is fewer spurious crash alerts and cleaner loss data.

Generating machine learning based models for time series forecastingfiled 2021A model-selection system for time series forecasting that evaluates a pool of machine learning models against a use-case-specific metric, selects the best performer, and uses it to forecast future values for that application.
For a given forecasting use case the system first determines a model metric appropriate to that use case, then draws on a pool of machine-learning models built from different techniques. It runs each candidate model to forecast the time series and computes the chosen metric for each, then selects the model whose metric value compares most favorably. That selected model is deployed to forecast future values of the time series for the application. The capability being protected is an automated, metric-driven way to match the right forecasting model to a particular use case, which in a health insurer's context could support projecting utilization, cost, or membership trends.

Systems and methods for utilizing topic models to weight mixture-of-experts for improvement of language modelingfiled 2023UnitedHealth's system tokenizes documents such as healthcare provider records, derives a topic vector, and weights multiple expert language models to combine their outputs into a next-text prediction.
The method receives documents, including documents associated with a healthcare provider, and processes them into tokens for downstream modeling. A topic model outputs a topic vector characterizing each document's subject matter, and the document is routed through multiple expert machine-learning models whose probability vectors are combined into a total probability vector weighted by that topic vector. A text output is selected using the combined vector, so the topic effectively controls how much influence each expert has on the final prediction. This topic-weighted mixture-of-experts design lets the language model specialize by subject matter, such as clinical or provider-record content, rather than treating all documents uniformly.

Methods, systems, and computer program products for flagging dental claims for further scrutiny based on processing of dental clinical images and periodontal charts using multiple artificial intelligence (AI) modelsfiled 2023UnitedHealth's system flags dental claims for review by running clinical images through multiple AI models to identify procedure codes and using OCR on periodontal charts to read pocket measurements, then checking whether the submitted code is supported.
A clinical image tied to a dental procedure is processed through a plurality of AI models to independently identify one or more likely dental procedure codes, while a periodontal chart image is read via optical character recognition to obtain per-tooth pocket measurements and their positional coordinates. The system takes the procedure code submitted on the dental claim and first determines whether that procedure is visibly detectable in imagery. For visibly detectable procedures it checks whether the submitted code matches any AI-identified code, and it flags the claim when the codes do not match, when the procedure is not visibly detectable, or when the pocket measurements do not support the submitted code. This automates clinical review of dental claims for coding accuracy and potential fraud.

Data mining system using artificial intelligencefiled 2024State Farm's document analysis system extracts embedded media and text from third-party filings, generates vector embeddings and a queryable dataset with metadata, and mines it to surface product modifications or new product ideas.
The system retrieves a document filed by a third-party entity along with its metadata, then separates embedded media into a media file and the text into a text file. It analyzes the media file to identify and extract data from within images or other embedded content, and processes the text into discrete text portions. For each text portion it generates embeddings, assembling a dataset that combines the text portions, embeddings, and metadata so the document can be queried for contextual data. The same dataset is then processed to identify potential product modifications or new products, turning unstructured third-party filings into structured, searchable signals for insurance product development.

Methods and apparatus to process insurance claims using cloud computingfiled 2023State Farm's cloud platform uses an AI resource to process information gathered from insureds or their representatives, identify the appropriate claim action, and route it for automated or manual claims processing.
The cloud platform includes an assistance resource that interacts electronically with an insured person or their representative to collect information related to a claim, serving as the intake point. An artificial intelligence resource processes the collected information to identify what action should be taken, effectively triaging the claim based on the gathered facts. A backend system carries out the identified action, and the same backend module remains usable by a human adjuster, so straightforward claims move through automated resolution while complex claims route to people using the same execution layer. The protected structure is this intake-to-AI-triage-to-shared-backend pipeline for cloud-based insurance claims processing.

State Farm under examination published 8/28/2025Initiated automatic claim handling through conversational artificial intelligence (AI)
Proposes detecting client devices near a weather event, soliciting response data from them by messaging, and estimating how many claim records a locality will generate so that services can be allocated, aimed at claims handling and catastrophe response.
How it worksCombines weather data with IoT sensor readings to detect a weather event, identifies nearby users from profile data, activates an app that asks each user event-specific questions, then runs a classification engine over the responses and existing records to estimate the number of new records expected and allocates services accordingly.
Where it fitsWould support catastrophe claims intake and resource allocation for insurers after weather events.
StageFiled February 2024 and published August 2025; in examination, written from a claim the applicant has already narrowed during prosecution.
The claim as amended, showing changes
A method for facilitating an electronic record in response to an event, comprising:
- receiving, by a server of a service provider, weather data associated with a geographic region, and sensor data from a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in the geographic region
- determining, by the server and based at least in part on the weather data and the sensor data, an occurrence of a weather event in the geographic region
- responsive to determining the occurrence of the weather event, and based on profile data associated with a plurality of users, determining, by the server, an identifier of a particular client device associated with a user having an address within a defined proximity of the weather event
- causing activation, by the server, of an application on the particular client device, the application generating a user interface on a display of the particular client device, wherein the user interface includes a request for messaging response data associated with the weather event , wherein the request comprises one or morequestions based on the weather event and customized for the user
- obtaining, by the server and from the particular client device, the messaging response data
determining, by the server and based on the messaging response data, whether the particular client device will generate an electronic record associated with the weather event- applying, by the server,
an algorithma classification enginetocomparethe messaging response data from the particular client device [[to]]and electronic records associated with the service provider to output[[ - ]]
based on comparing the messaging response data to the electronic records, determining, by applying the algorithm,[[a]]an estimated quantity of new electronic records to be generated at a locality in the defined proximity of the weather event - based at least on the estimated quantity, determining, by the server, at least one service from a plurality of services to be allocated to assist in facilitating a processing of the new electronic records generated at the locality.

struckmatter was removed, as 37 CFR 1.121 requires the applicant to show. An amendment means the applicant moved, not that the examiner agreed.Verbatim from the applicant's amended claim at the USPTO. A pending claim is a request, not a granted right.
What the examiner said 3 office actions
First action 6/18/2025, most recent 7/1/2026. The grounds raised so far:
- section 101, eligibility: the examiner questions whether this is patentable subject matter at all
- section 112, definiteness or written description: the examiner says the claim is unclear or unsupported by the specification
Read from the examiner's own office actions at the USPTO. A rejection is a stage in prosecution, not a final answer: most applications are rejected at least once and many are granted anyway.

State Farm under examination published 8/28/2025Electronic management of license data
Describes querying a database of user licenses, detecting which are in a renewal period, notifying those users, and pre-populating a renewal application for their approval, aimed at agent and adjuster licensing administration.
How it worksFeeds a candidate user's profile into a model trained on sample roles, practice locations and license data, infers the person's role or location of practice, compares their licenses against those held by similar profiles, and flags a potential licensure discrepancy when a peer-held license is missing before notifying the user.
Where it fitsWould support agent and producer licensing compliance and renewal management.
StageFiled May 2025 and published August 2025; in examination, written from the original claim as filed.
The claim as filed
A computer system for identifying licensure discrepancies, the computer system comprising at least one processor in communication with at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
- retrieve a candidate user profile from the at least one memory, wherein a plurality of user profiles, including the candidate user profile, are stored in the at least one memory
- input candidate user data associated with the candidate user profile to a machine learning model, wherein the machine learning model is trained based upon sample user profiles comprising at least one of sample roles, sample locations of practice, or sample license data, and wherein the machine learning model is configured to, based upon the candidate user data: determine at least one of a role of the candidate user profile or a location of practice of the candidate user profile based upon the candidate user data
- identify license data associated with user profiles, of the plurality of user profiles, associated with at least one of the role or the location of practice
- compare at least part of the candidate user data to the license data
- identify a potential licensure discrepancy for the candidate user profile based upon the comparison, the potential licensure discrepancy associated with a license included in the license data and not included in the candidate user data
- receive an output from the machine learning model identifying the potential licensure discrepancy
- transmit a notification associated with the potential licensure discrepancy to a user computing device associated with the candidate user profile. 2

State Farm awaiting examination published 8/28/2025Systems and Methods to Leverage Unused Compute Resource for Machine Learning Tasks
Describes identifying computing nodes in an inactive state and scheduling machine learning sub-tasks to run on them, then collating the results, a general-purpose resource-utilisation method with no insurance function stated in the abstract.
How it worksUses a resource model to estimate a sub-task's resource requirement, schedules that sub-task to run on a computing node during the node's inactive state, collates the finished sub-task into the completed task, and generates a notification when the task is done.
Where it fitsThe abstract describes general compute-resource scheduling and does not specify an insurance workflow.
StageFiled May 2025 and published August 2025; in examination, written from the original claim as filed.
The claim as filed
A system for leveraging inactive computing resources to optimize task scheduling and performance among available computing resources, comprising:
- one or more computing nodes having an inactive state indicating deactivation
- one or more processors
- a memory communicatively coupled to the one or more computing nodes and the one or more processors, the memory containing instructions therein that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to: determine, based upon a resource model, a resource requirement for a sub-task of a task for execution on the one or more computing nodes, schedule, based on the resource requirement, the sub-task for execution on a computing node of the one or more computing nodes during the inactive state of the computing node, collate the sub-task into a completed task, and generate a completed task notification indicating the completed task. 2
Verbatim from the applicant's claim as filed at the USPTO. A pending claim is a request, not a granted right.
These are requests, not property. A published application is what a company asked for; the claims almost always shrink before anything issues. On the 2026 grant cohort, 85% of independent claims were narrowed before allowance, at a median of 71 words added.

From our coverage
Methodology
What is counted. Granted US utility patents that either carry the patent office's artificial intelligence and machine learning classification or name a machine learning technique in the invention title, counted by grant date over a trailing 12-month window against the preceding 12 months. Each grant is attributed once, to the organization that filed it, so ownership transfers never double-count a patent.
Entity names are verified, not guessed. Companies rarely file under their consumer brand, so each organization's filing identities are consolidated from official records and counts reflect the organization rather than the paperwork.
What the numbers mean. Grant counts measure issued intellectual property, with the patent office's roughly two-year lag from filing. They signal sustained investment and which capabilities a company thinks worth protecting, not patent quality or product deployment. Pending applications are shown separately and are requests, not property.
