WilmerHale’s Post

Interesting summary from IPKat about the recent Court of Appeal decision in the Emotional Perception AI case. Big implications for AI inventions, but maybe also for computer-based inventions in general given the new (and extremely broad!) definitions laid down in the judgement. #AI #IP #Patents #UKIPO #PatentLaw #IPAdvisory

IronCrow IP's Ironcrow AI was recently featured in the Washington State Bar Association’s Side Bar publication. The publication features a Q&A discussing Ironcrow AI’s achievement of a score above the 70% threshold required to pass the patent bar exam. The article explores the meaning of this achievement, what legal professionals should takeaway from it, and Ironcrow AI’s LLM Sandbox can improve patent drafting and prosecution quality and efficiency.

The Sandbox can provide well-cited answers along with relevant excerpts from the MPEP, etc., to its users. This unique feature sets Ironcrow AI’s LLM Sandbox apart from other systems in the market. #AI #LLM #patentlaw #intellectualproperty https://lnkd.in/gDFfCaXu

Cha Ching!!! 400+ more patents to be invalidated in the US if/when asserted. There are many good use cases for generative AI in patent services, but drafting is not one of them for anyone seeking to build litigation grade patent claims and enforce them in the US.

The UK's highest court, like other courts, has now ruled that inventions developed solely by AI can not be granted patent protection. Ian Sterlin discusses the case and outlines the court’s strict interpretation of the Patents Act of 1977 in this IP alert. #AI #patentlaw #intellectualproperty

It used to be that interviews would progress the prosecution, and I don't find interviews that useful nowadays. To see a trend takes time. But over the last six months or so, it has got a lot worse." https://lnkd.in/ed2FK4W7 #USPTO #PatentProsecution
