| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | [GuestPost] 59% of IPKat readers say its time to overhaul patent exclusions - The IPKat | Nov 15 00:46 | |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "The only overhaul suggested in the post actually boils down to accept programs for computers as patentable inventions.<br /><br />It has first to be reminded that the Diplomatic Revision Conference of 2000 decided that the patentability of computer programs would be left for a second basket to be dealt with by a future Diplomatic Revision Conference. <br /><br />I would say that a new Diplomatic Revision Conference is a certain as | Nov 15 00:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | a Conference of Ministers of the Contracting States according to Art 4a EPC2000. A conference according to Art 4a should by now have been convened twice. <br /><br />It is only by a revision of the EPC that computer programs as such could become patentable. <br /><br />Originally, the reason for not allowing computer programs as such as patentable inventions, was indeed to be seen in the impossibility to carry out a significant se | Nov 15 00:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | arch. There are lots of computer program languages and it is not possible for an examiner to be aware of all of them and of their different syntax. In the 80ies and early 90ies, the EPO even allowed short excerpts of programs, but the nub of the invention had to be disclosed, not in the program, but in plain language in the description. <br /><br />The case law developed by the boards of appeal of the EPO, going from Vicom to Comvi | Nov 15 00:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | k, just to name a few, has long accepted Computer Implemented Inventions. <br /><br />As a patent monopoly is prima facie a technical solution to a technical problem, inventions in which a device is controlled by a program or when a method is implemented with the help of a program are more and more usual. It is just necessary to provide a connection with the real world or a specific technical effect inside a data processing machin | Nov 15 00:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | e. In order to be patentable, an invention need to involves a technical effect achieved with technical means. The requirement of technicality is thus anything but arbitrary. <br /><br />Machine learning and quantum computing are perfectly patentable, provided there imply a technical effect on the real world. As far as machine learning is concerned, the problem lies more in sufficiency. In order to obtain a patent, it is not enough | Nov 15 00:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | just to disclose the correlation rules and the weighing factors of a neural network, but as the same time the learning data has to be disclosed. As data are in our modern world a precious asset, I cannot see the holder of data happily disclosing learning data.<br /><br />In view of the above considerations, the need for a revision of Art 52(2) in respect of computer programs as such appear simply unnecessary.

| -TechBytesBot/#techbytes-ipkitten.blogspot.com | [GuestPost] How the European Patent Office uses AI to facilitate patent searches - The IPKat | Nov 15 21:01 | |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "I've played around with the Hey Hi (AI) search tools of a number of companies and not found them to be particularly great. The issues are:<br /><br />1) "AI search tools" that appear to just be processing your request to identify keywords and then carrying out a keyword search. You might as well just input keywords in to a keyword search.<br />2) "Summaries" that appear to be just a randomly-selected paragraph | Nov 15 21:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | from the text of the patent monopoly specification.<br />3) "Ask this document a question" is actually bad, since you need to actually look at what is said in context.<br />4) A general inability to handle the importance of drawings being looked at alongside the text.<br />5) Systems which make requests to e.g., OpenAI, resulting in them being very slow.<br /><br />AI search is a developing field, but it just isn't where | Nov 15 21:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it needs to be to actually assist a professional searcher." | Nov 15 21:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "It is difficult to get a patent monopoly attorney to understand patentability exclusions when their salary depends on them not understanding it. I am surprised that only 59% want to remove the computer program exclusion.<br /><br />That patent monopoly offices might not be able to search programs was not the only reason for the exclusion - https://www.wipo.int/edocs/mdocs/scp/en/scp_15/scp_15_3-annex2.pdf. Programs were seen as ab | Nov 15 21:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | stract, maths, and algorithms. There is the practical issue that if only the program per se was intended to be excluded, that only excludes something that no one in their right mind would actually patent monopoly since its scope would be far too narrow. The exclusion would be an exclusion in name only and have no teeth.<br /><br />There is mixed evidence supporting a link between patenting and innovation, especially outside pharma. | Nov 15 21:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I am not aware of evidence that proves removing the exclusions would lead to increased innovation. There is hardly a shortage of it. Removing the exclusion primarily benefits patent monopoly attorneys. An applicant might very well want a patent monopoly for their computer program, but equally would be less keen on a competitor having one. The OSS lobby is not going to agree to this anything soon and has a powerful voice. The statu | Nov 15 21:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | s quo is that some computer implemented inventions are patentable and others are not. The line between is very clear assuming you want to see it." | Nov 15 21:02 |
