Theoretical Insights: Challenges and Opportunities in AI Patentability
Svenskt Näringsliv (Confederation of Swedish Enterprise) and Queen Mary Intellectual Property Institute (at the Center for Commercial Law Studies, Queen Mary University of London), with BusinessEurope as supporting partner invites you to an event on the patenting of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
This session offers expert insights into the patentability of foundational AI innovations, with a particular focus on the European approach. Members of the Boards of Appeal for Computer-Implemented Inventions (CII) will share their perspectives, providing valuable guidance on the factors and considerations shaping patentability determinations at the European Patent Office (EPO).
The discussion will then expand to a comparative, international context. Professor Noam Shemtov (QMIPRI) and Dr. Jur. Christina Wainikka (Svenskt Näringsliv / Confederation of Swedish Enterprise) will examine approaches adopted in other jurisdictions, including South Korea, Japan, China, and the United States. This comparative framing will highlight both convergences and divergences in global practices, offering participants a nuanced understanding of how AI-related patentability is evaluated across different legal systems.
