This week's published patents
Adobe's 11 filings are almost all generative editing:
- Fixing AI video. A generator that keeps scenes consistent across frames and a fix for the flickering that plagues AI-generated clips.
- Editing by conversation. Building graphic designs by talking through them, catching where AI misreads plain-English commands, and turning hand-drawn sketches into editable design files.
- The eyebrow-raiser. A filing that predicts web browsing behavior for ad targeting.
