Learn how to write AI patent applications which get granted and are infringed upon! This online course will give you the best practical tips to improve your skills in drafting applications for AI patents. Apply your knowledge in a practical test including feedback from our expert speakers.
Drafting patent applications for AI-related inventions raises a distinct set of challenges: selecting the right claim categories, and navigating frameworks that differ substantially between the EPO and the USPTO. This course equips patent practitioners to address both jurisdictions confidently. The European portion covers protectable subject matter across the full range of AI-related claim categories, the EPO's technical effects doctrine, sufficiency of disclosure under Article 83 EPC. The relevant case law will be presented first-hand by a Chairperson of the Boards of Appeal, whom participants can address directly with questions from practice. The US dimension is addressed in a targeted session covering the current USPTO guidance on § 101 subject matter eligibility for AI and software patents, recent Federal Circuit case law, the revised inventorship guidance for AI-assisted inventions, and the practical consequences of recent MPEP developments, with a consistent focus on where US and European approaches diverge and what that means for drafting strategy. Participants leave with a concrete framework for assessing patentability on both sides of the Atlantic and practical tools for building claim sets that are defensible from the outset.
