USPTO Director Kathi Vidal gives another indication of U.S. opposition to EU SEP Regulation proposal "Future generation wireless networks" are among what the U.S. government considers "critical and emerging technologies" (with respect to which the U.S. government, with the USPTO spearheading the effort, will engage with other jurisdictions to promote balance and efficiency in #FRAND licensing of SEPs). https://lnkd.in/dyXaSzVi

💡 The 🇪🇺 #EU’s #DMA came into force just a few weeks ago, establishing an unprecedented regulation framework for digital gatekeepers in the European Union. 👀 🤔 How does #SoftwareFreedom relate to regulating corporate behaviour in digital ecosystems? ℹ️ Read this publication by #FSFE’s Lucas Lasota about increasing fairness and contestability of digital markets with #FreeSoftware! 🚀 https://lnkd.in/e2eHfjKj

IN THE NEWS:  In October IAM published an article entitled ”IBM and Amazon seek changes to USPTO’s Section 101 guidance for artificial intelligence”, which reported the companies’ feedback on the US Patent and Trademark Office’s Section 101 guidance for AI patents. While both companies welcomed some aspects of this, IBM suggested that the USPTO should provide further guidance for examiners who consider “mental processes for patent eligibility purposes”. Meanwhile Amazon raised a number of concerns, including that certain examples outlined in the guidance could potentially hinder innovation and lead to invalid patents.     Just as AI tech development is currently a hugely vibrant and fast-moving area, so the IP environment is having to evolve quickly in response. Interventions such as these show that this is not just a case of the leading patent offices taking decisions as to how to treat AI-related IP, but also developers and practitioners having their say as to what needs to happen. How this will ultimately play out in terms of guidelines and patenting procedures is yet to be seen, but we can be sure that it will develop significantly in the coming months and years.   TTN’s team of subject matter experts and practitioners, most of whom have served full careers in patent examination with the European Patent Office (EPO) and United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), includes leading international authorities in AI and software IP. TTN works closely with start-up, SME and multinational companies to help them develop IP strategies that maximise both protection and value creation. To learn more about Trusted Technology Network (TTN), visit us at https://www.trustedtn.com or contact us at [email protected].    #intellectualproperty, #intellectualpropertyrights, #ip, #patent, #patents, #innovation, #invention, #trustedtechnologynetwork, #ttn , #ipbackedfinance, #ai, #aipatenting   Source: https://lnkd.in/e7YpkMfS 

Today marks a milestone for technology regulation in the EU. The companies that have been designated as gatekeepers under the DMA last September must now start to comply with the obligations and prohibitions it establishes. We, at GERADIN PARTNERS, have been working on the DMA (and DMA-related issues) since before the Commission's proposal was published and we are thrilled to celebrate this milestone by announcing that we have been co-authoring and editing a book that will be published later this year (but can be pre-ordered). The book, which is an in-depth analysis of the DMA, will be published by Hart Publishing. Kudos in particular to my colleague Dr. Konstantina Bania who steered the project. can find more details about the book here: https://bit.ly/3P6VyPA #dma #digitalmarketsact #techregulation #platformregulation Activate to view larger image,

We have been very familiar with the implications of very large financial services institutions which are “Too Big To Fail”. With the advent of internet, a similar crop of large tech firms is building up which can be termed as “Systemically Significant Digital Enterprises”. Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) recently put the draft “Digital Competition Bill” for public comments aiming to counter anti-competitive practices by big tech players and creating a level playing field for smaller firms in order to promote innovation and benefit the end consumer. Unsurprisingly, the big techs have slammed the Bill. With much at stake for tech giants, the ball is now in the regulators court to decide whether competition rules are revamped or not. https://lnkd.in/dG6uq7r3 #collaboration; #enterprise; #software; #technology; #competition; #consumerinternet; #consumerinterest;

The EU Digital Markets Act came into effect on 7 March 2024; tech companies not compliant with the new regulations may now be subject to investigations by the European Commission. Accusations of non-compliance from competitors, and between the tech giants themselves, indicate that investigations are indeed likely. #DMA #EU #DigitalMarkets #BigTech
