Abstract

AI is a field which has grown enormously in commercial application and social acceptability in recent times.  Innovations are increasingly likely to be based on AI.  We will look at how such innovations may be protected.  In particular, whether patenting AI-based innovations is the right approach and the limits to patent protection for AI.

  • Protection for AI might in some instances be obtained through controlling access to training data
  • Additional considerations arise in relation to whether to file for patent protection for AI-based inventions
  • AI can be patentable subject to certain limitations
