BREAKING: an important consultation by the USPTO. While the DABUS cases have drawn attention to whether inventions by AI should be patentable, a far more profound and far-reaching challenge is whether the spreading use of AI will raise the threshold for inventive step across a wide range of potential inventions, making patent protection generally harder to secure. The USPTO is seeking comments by 29 July: “USPTO is requesting written public comments on how the proliferation of AI could affect certain evaluations made by the Office, including what qualifies as prior art, the assessment of the level of skill of a PHOSITA, and determinations of patentability made in view of these evaluations.” #AI #Patents
