Implicit Chain-of-Thought Outperforms Explicit Verbalization in Patent Drafting

A new paper explores the effectiveness of Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting in patent claim generation, a task requiring technical expertise and linguistic precision. The research indicates that while CoT can enhance claim quality, an implicit form of CoT, where reasoning remains internal, performs better than explicit verbalization. Explicit CoT may hinder output quality by abstracting details, disrupting generation patterns, and propagating errors. AI

IMPACT Suggests that for highly structured tasks like legal drafting, internal reasoning processes in LLMs may be more effective than explicit verbalization.
