Abstract:

A global review of high-tech patentability focussing on AI and software with smart city applications. The speakers will each give their perspective of the patentability issues such as eligibility (under s101 USC 35), and inventiveness (under Article 56 EPC). The session aims to enable attendees to understand the limits of patentability and how to navigate the possibilities to achieve a patent strategy for global success.
