Join patent expert Benita Mackay and me for a discussion on the future of software patents in Europe. We'll go beyond the COMVIK approach and explore potential new standards, especially for AI inventions.
In this session, we'll cover:
- Why COMVIK may be failing: Unpacking its limitations in protecting cutting-edge software and AI technologies.
- A new era of software patents: Exploring possible modifications to the novelty and inventive step requirements.
- ChatGPT weighs in: We'll analyze the AI's proposal for "Process Innovation Use Claims".
