Is AI Patentable?
In short, yes, AI can be patented. Having the right experience dealing with drafting an AI based patent application is crucial to the patent process as well as an understanding of the procedures at the USPTO. NYC Patent Firm provides the expertise and strategies you need to overcome the famed ‘101 rejection and move your AI patent from patent pending to patented.
Can AI be an inventor?
According to the USPTO, only natural persons can be named as inventors on patent applications. This position is based on the interpretation of the Patent Act, which uses terms like "individual" and "person," traditionally understood to refer to humans. In 2020, the USPTO denied a patent application where an AI system named DABUS was listed as the inventor, reinforcing the stance that AI cannot be an inventor.
Do I need a patent search before applying for an AI patent?
A patent search or prior art search is a tool used to uncover similar patents to your invention with the anticipation of improving the patent’s description, strategy and claims. However, there is an 18 month window of unpublished patent applications that are not available to the public and where a patent search won’t uncover the most recent filings. We encourage every inventor to consult with a patent practitioner whether it be a patent attorney or patent agent to determine whether a patent search is right move and aligns with their business goals. Since the U.S. is a first inventor to file patent system, a filing date should be acquired sooner rather than later for your artificial intelligence patent.
