| schestowitz | I’ve received quite some pushback on my last week’s email citing an article about “the EPO’s hostility towards software and AI patent applications”. | Jul 28 04:45 |
| schestowitz | And yes, I guess I cited the article’s key message without making my own position clear enough: I’m a big fan of how the EPO treats software patents overall. | Jul 28 04:46 |
| schestowitz | Three main reasons: | Jul 28 04:46 |
| schestowitz | The conceptual framework (called the COMVIK approach) is simple and pragmatic | Jul 28 04:46 |
| schestowitz | There’s a huge body of case law on the question “is it technical?” for many if not most relevant domains of digital innovations, which makes patenting in Europe comparatively predictable | Jul 28 04:46 |
| schestowitz | The EPO is quite progressive on the question “is it technical?” | Jul 28 04:46 |
| schestowitz | For example, | Jul 28 04:46 |
| schestowitz | cryptography is technical (although it’s math), | Jul 28 04:46 |
| schestowitz | many database optimizations are technical (even when they are rather algorithmic), and | Jul 28 04:46 |
| schestowitz | many computer gaming aspects are technical (even when they are about presenting information). | Jul 28 04:46 |
| schestowitz | The only facet of the article I was intending to confirm was that the EPO could be more progressive when it comes to patenting AI and machine learning-related innovations. | Jul 28 04:46 |
| schestowitz | Other than that, I pretty much ♥ the European way of software patenting. | Jul 28 04:46 |
