1. Protecting Your Innovation An AI patent protects your unique AI algorithms, methods, and systems from being used, sold, or distributed by others without your permission. This protection ensures that your investment in developing cutting-edge AI technology is not exploited by competitors.
2. Encouraging Further Innovation Patents provide a legal framework that incentivizes innovation. By securing an AI patent, you can confidently invest in further research and development, knowing your intellectual property is protected.
3. Attracting Investment Holding an AI patent enhances the value of your company and makes it more attractive to investors. Patents demonstrate that your company is at the forefront of AI technology and committed to protecting its innovative solutions.
Is AI Patentable?
In short, yes, AI can be patented. Having the right experience dealing with an AI based invention is crucial to the patent process as well as an understanding of the procedures at the USPTO. Palo Alto 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 However, there is an 18 month window of unpublished patent applications that are not available to the public and where a patent search won’t uncover the most recent filings.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 to determine whether a patent search is right for their business goals.
