I'm explaining how the European Patent Office examines AI patents using the two-hurdle approach. This is a snippet from my 3-hour masterclass on patenting AI. The full masterclass covers:
1. Which parts of an AI solution should be patented
2. How to draft strong AI patent claims
3. How to ensure an enabling disclosure in an AI patent

MagicLeap just lost a patent on a biometric information sharing function in their AR headset. The EPO Board of appeal ruled that the patent covered “a mere administrative scheme” rather than a true technical advancement, leading to its complete revokation. In this video, I break down MagicLeap’s patent, the resoning behind the decision, and the lessons we can learn to navigate software patents in Europe.

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".
- Navigating the EPO: Benita shares her predictions and practical advice for successfully patenting software...

In this session, we’ll dive into even more of OpenAI's latest patent filings that we didn’t get to last time. We need to talk about their strange patent pledge, too.

This episode dives into a thought-provoking discussion about "Cloud AI vs. Local AI" inspired by a recent debate I had in the LinkedIn comments. I explore the different perspectives and insights from that conversation, and unpack the key pros and cons of cloud AI vs. local AI for patent drafting.

In this episode, I share the exact AI tools I use daily to streamline my patent attorney work. We cover key areas where AI can make a real impact:

Patent Drafting
• I talk about my AI patent drafting journey, from early attempts with chatbots to the current setup using GPT4All with Llama 3.2 and Rowan Patents.
• Discover how integrated drafting environments, like those used in software development, can be a game-changer for patent drafting.
• Learn why prompt engineering is essential to getting better results with AI chatbots.

Document Analysis
• Tools like Google’s NotebookLM help with understanding...

Google’s NotebookLM just turned any document into a podcast! It’s like having two people discuss the topic in a super realistic conversation. As a patent nerd, I couldn't resist feeding it the COMVIK decision. Hear the AI’s autogenerated podcast and my commentary in this video. It's wild! 🤯

OpenAI is one of the most influential companies in artificial intelligence, and since I’m both a computer nerd and a patent attorney, we have to take a look at their patents, obviously.
