USPTO AI UPDATE *Effective Date: July 17, 2024 The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a crucial guidance update on patent subject matter eligibility, focusing on innovation in critical and emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI). This new guidance aims to assist both USPTO personnel and stakeholders in determining the eligibility of AI inventions under patent law (35 U.S.C. § 101). Key Highlights: • Three new examples demonstrating the application of subject matter eligibility guidance across a wide range of technologies. • In-depth discussions on areas particularly relevant to AI inventions, including Federal Circuit decisions. • Resources to assist USPTO personnel in patent examination, appeal, and post-grant proceedings. Public Comments: Accepted through September 16, 2024. See the Federal Register Notice for submission instructions. https://lnkd.in/edq6fh8B #patent #uspto #artificialintelligence

The U.S. Patent Office updated its guidance regarding AI assisted innovation on July 17, 2024. The key takeaway is the requirement that a significant human contribution is required to be eligible for a patent. The other updates are additional examples demonstrating what will be considered a significant contribution. #uspto #ip #ai #peoplefirst #cuecardslegal #patents #inventorship #aiassistedinnovation #innovation #inventor #technology https://lnkd.in/eF42t_F9

Today, the USPTO released new patent eligibility guidance for AI inventions. Importantly, the USPTO explained that "many claims to AI inventions are eligible as improvements to the functioning of a computer or improvements to another technology or technical field." While not all AI inventions are deemed patent eligible, this guidance will certainly aid in arguing the eligibility of AI patent claims and could boost interest in AI-related patents. 🌟 https://lnkd.in/gw6pZrHZ

Diving into the USPTO's (The US Patent and Trademark Office) Inventorship Guidance for AI-Assisted Inventions? 🤖📜 Here's what you need to know: ➡ Human at the Helm: The guidance reaffirms that only natural persons can be inventors, not AI. ➡ Case-by-Case: It emphasizes a case-by-case approach to determining a "significant" human contribution to AI-assisted inventions. ➡ Guidance vs. Rulemaking: While not legally binding, the guidance aims to steer the interpretation of inventorship requirements. ➡ Clarification and Confusion: Attempts to clarify the role of human inventors amidst AI collaboration, yet leaves some ambiguity. ➡ Strategic Patent Drafting: Highlights the importance of articulating human inventive contributions in patent applications. In this evolving landscape, how are you ensuring your AI innovations are patent-ready? Full article link: https://lnkd.in/dhgpVvKc

The #USPTO has issued #AI subject matter eligibility guidance The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued a guidance update on #patent subject matter eligibility to address #innovation in critical and emerging technologies, including in #artificialintelligence (AI). This guidance took effect on July 17, 2024. It builds on previous guidance by providing further clarity and consistency to how the USPTO and applicants should evaluate subject matter eligibility of claims in patent applications and patents involving inventions related to AI #technology. This update also announces a new set of examples that are intended to assist USPTO personnel in applying the USPTO's subject matter eligibility guidance to AI inventions during patent examination, appeal, and post-grant proceedings. The guidance update is designed to assist USPTO personnel and stakeholders in evaluating the subject matter eligibility of claims in patent applications and patents involving AI #inventions. This guidance update addresses the subject matter eligibility of AI-assisted inventions, which are inventions created by natural persons using one or more AI systems. Under the guidance, AI-assisted inventions are not categorically unpatentable and where one or more persons made a significant contribution to the claimed invention, protection may be sought for AI-assisted inventions. How an invention is developed is not relevant to the subject matter eligibility inquiry. Instead, the inquiry should focus on the claimed invention itself and whether it is the type of innovation eligible for patenting. We share the guidance below for readers who are interested in the complete information. #intellectualproperty #patentlaw #stem #ip #intellectualproperttlaw

The influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is undeniable in today's world, impacting businesses and even the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO). The question arises – how does AI fit into the realm of intellectual property (IP) protection and the inventive process? 🧠💡 Key takeaways from new guidance on IP include the recognition of AI as an assistant to inventors, emphasizing the need for "significant" human involvement. Join a conversation on AI-assisted inventions and patentability during an upcoming USPTO webinar on the Inventorship Guidance for AI-Assisted Inventions. The event promises insights into the guidance, and our Woods Rogers Vandeventer Black IP partners will provide a comprehensive summary afterward. Thank you Nathan A.
