    [06:06] schestowitz

    In an announcement last night, MariaDB plc, which is separate from the MariaDB Foundation running the open source project, said it had received an "unsolicited non-binding indicative proposal to acquire the company's shares through K5 Private Investors," a fund controlled by K1. MariaDB said its board was reviewing the offer and taking advice.

    [06:06] schestowitz

    K1 first announced its possible offer of $0.55 per share late on Friday. The value is equivalent to $37.3 million. Estimates of the company's valuation based on its current share price are around $23 million.

Policy debates in the US and the EU - The IPKat [12:10] schestowitz "@Harm van der Heyden

    The reference to PHOSITA in respect of IA systems conveys the false anthromorphic perception of IA systems as intelligent in a human sense. Artificial intelligence is a metaphor but a misleading one. It is wrong to isolate IA systems from human actions. IA systems cannot act autonomously, they are just tools driven, trained, configured, tested and used by human beings.

    For a very w [12:10] schestowitz ell documented analysis, see Clarifying Assumptions About Artificial Intelligence Before Revolutionizing Patent Law , Kim et al, GRUR International 14 Feb 2022, htpps://doi.org/10.1093/grurint/ikab174. See also AIPPI Q272 resolution 4(a)-(e) which lists human contributions to be considered for an Hey Hi (AI) system to yield outcomes of interest.

    Patent law thus needs no revolution. IA-aided inventons, however, raise ch [12:10] schestowitz allenging issues, especially in respect of the sufficiency of disclosure requirements, the definition of the skilled person for inventive step and sufficiency assessment and the plausibility issue.

    As to sufficiency, I am quite pleased to give you credit for your insighful article Hey Hi (AI) inventions and sufficiency of disclosure when enough is enough published in IAM Yearbook 2020. I had cited it in my ac [12:10] schestowitz count of EPO decision T 0161/18 (epi-information 4-2022) in which the Board had remarkably raised ex officio an Art 83 rejection for lack of disclosure of training data.

    It is of note that the revision of the EPO Guidelines recently reported on this blog includes an addition concerning the disclosure of training data in Hey Hi (AI) systems.

    As to the definition of the skilled person, it is a fact that Hey Hi (AI) a [12:10] schestowitz pplications require interdisciplinary teams including data scientists suitably competent in the field or type of data to be used for training and specialists competent in the field of the invention. An interesting example of in-depth discussions around the skills required for Hey Hi (AI) applications can be found in the file of EP2449150 which relates to Agrosciences."
