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

Last month the USPTO, led by Kathi Vidal, Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO, issued detailed guidance on AI-assisted inventions, clarifying that only “natural persons” may be listed as inventors on U.S. patents and patent applications. Here is an excellent resource from PatentDocs about this ever-shifting legal landscape around #AI.

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. Evans, CBH's corporate secretary and partner at Woods Rogers Vandeventer Black for this insightful piece and sharing this opportunity! #AI #IntellectualProperty #Patents #USPTO #InventorshipGuidance #Innovation #LegalTech #AIPatents #WRVBIP #WebinarAlert https://lnkd.in/eJur8t3f
