| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>The curl command is a powerful and versatile tool used to transfer data to or from a server using various protocols, such as HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and more. It stands for "Client URL" and is commonly utilized for web requests, enabling users to download files, send data via POST requests, and even interact with RESTful APIs directly from the command line. The curl command can handle a wide ran | Aug 14 11:59 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ge of tasks, from simple file downloads to complex multipart forms, and is often used in scripts for automation due to its flexibility and ability to provide detailed output, making it an essential utility in a Linux environment. </p> | Aug 14 11:59 |

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | [GuestPost] The Court of Appeal's latest AI decision begs the question - what inventions are deserving of patent protection? - The IPKat | Aug 14 20:47 | |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "The decision is correct in its result, but the reasons for it are not at all convincing. Discussing whether a neural network is a program appears rather beside the point and shows a total lack of understanding of the technique involved. On the other hand, it is more surprising that the UKIPO came up with this kind of argument.<br /><br />One thing is clear from the outset: there is no technical contribution from the invention in q | Aug 14 20:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | uestion. No effect other than the choice of similar music. Even with Aerotel this application should have been refused for lack of technical effect. <br /><br />Both in the High Court’s and the Court of Appeal’s decisions, T 702/20 was cited. It appears that this decision was misquoted, or better, not understood. T 702/20 makes clear that “A neural network defines a class of mathematical functions which, as such, is excluded | Aug 14 20:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | matter. As for other "non-technical" matter, it can therefore only be considered for the assessment of inventive step when used to solve a technical problem, e.g. when trained with specific data for a specific technical task.”<br /><br />There is no technical contribution whatsoever, as the choice of music is by no means technical, and the invention was a not merely creating a program. This is confusing cause and effect | Aug 14 20:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | . The output does indeed not turn the claimed invention into a system which produces a technical effect, but the training of the neural network is not merely excluded subject matter.<br /><br />Furthermore, it does not appear that the trained artificial neural network has been described and, more importantly, that the training data for the artificial neural network has been disclosed. <br /><br />Apart from the non-technical nature | Aug 14 20:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | , there is also a clear problem of insufficient disclosure. T 161/18 made clear that in the absence of training data for a neural network, the description is insufficient.<br /><br />Much is made of inventions using AI, but in order to obtain a patent, the learning data must be disclosed. Since data is a precious commodity in the modern world, I doubt that many applicants will be prepared to disclose it.<br /><br />The High Court o | Aug 14 20:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | verturned the UKIPO’s rejection of the application. The High Court was right to say that in the case of a trained artificial neural network, it is not a program as such. The High Court has however overlooked the absence of technical effect.<br /><br />In an article published in Chemistry World on August 1th by Victoria Atkinson, “Disappointing Hey Hi (AI) judgment could have a ‘catastrophic effect’ on UK science”, it is s | Aug 14 20:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | aid that ‘Fundamentally, [the judges] didn’t understand the technology’. It is difficult not to agree with this statement. <br /><br />Indeed, in view of the Common Law system, this decision might have dear, negative, consequences. One feels set back at the time of the “salami tactics”, the computer is known, and the program is not patentable, so nothing is patentable. Since VICOM, T 208/84 the situation has quite evolved | Aug 14 20:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | . <br /><br />Last but not least, the reasons for the exclusion of computer programs as such is a very practical one. There are many programming languages with their own peculiarities/syntax rules, and more over different versions. <br /><br />At the time, and still nowadays, it is impossible to carry out a significant search only in programs. In the early days, the EPO accepted short excerpts of programs, but the chore of the inv | Aug 14 20:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ention had to be disclosed in plain wording. <br />" | Aug 14 20:47 |
