Utility Patent Application Cost

A utility patent application includes patent claims, drawings and description of the invention. Cost of utility patent application drafting increases in case of complex inventions because of comprehensive set of patent claims and extensive description of the best mode of the invention.

Artificial Intelligence Patents

The artificial intelligence patent landscape shows disruption across the entire technology ecosystem. For patenting artificial intelligence based innovations, issues related to patent eligibility and inventorship need to be tackled. At present, the USPTO is looking for data on computerized reasoning Artificial Intelligence (AI) Inventions, covering:

(a) creations created by AI (completely or somewhat); and,

(b) developments of AI.

In spite of the fact that the concentration here is AI development, the important hidden string is the corporate invention. The following are the basic elements of AI Inventions:

  1. Perception – sense audio-visual and other input
  2. Language – understand human intent
  3. Knowledge – capture concepts and relationship
  4. Learning – improving with experience
  5. Solving – logical deductions, completion
  6. Planning – best use of options to achieve goals
  7. Action – move or manipulate objects or programs
  8. Social & General Intelligence – adapt to affect

For AI Inventions the person who conceives the training program of that AI is the inventor as well.

Distinguishing the new unobvious arrangement would establish a discovery, since AI isn’t aware, the individual who initially recognizes it makes the discovery. Whoever concocts or finds any new and helpful procedure, machine, production, or structure of issue, or any new and valuable improvement thereof, may get a patent accordingly, subject to the conditions and prerequisites of this title. The trained AI is either new and valuable procedure or machine or new and helpful improvement thereof.

Patent Ownership

For technology companies, only employees can be listed as inventor but not a company. But a company can be the owner of a patent, which leads us to the concept of ownership. In the preponderance of patent applications, the inventors are employees of a company that own the patent rights (by virtue of an employment agreement with the company). In that situation, the company is the “applicant” who has the power to file and prosecute patent applications, and the inventor does not have any standing with the patent office.

In case of artificial intelligence inventions, machines can and do process data and produce valuable surges of visual or sound-related images which people can see and accordingly consider, yet the machines are not aware nor cognizant: they don’t think nor imagine anything, they process data in a way which produces results which are comparable to what a conscious being conveys what the individual in question has delivered during the time spent reasoning and conceptualization, yet the current machinery are not even close to anything prepared to do real thinking and can’t contribute anything “applied”.

An AI entity other than a natural person or company to which a natural person assigns an invention cannot own a patent on the AI invention. An AI entity can only ever be considered a joint-inventor, as without human intervention on the training data and algorithms, it would churn out rubbish. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies are increasingly turning to AI to drastically speed up the process of discovering new drugs, analyzing huge quantities of data to come up with new molecules that could potentially have a therapeutic effect.
