schestowitzI’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
schestowitzAnd 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
schestowitzThree main reasons:Jul 28 04:46
schestowitz    The conceptual framework (called the COMVIK approach) is simple and pragmaticJul 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 predictableJul 28 04:46
schestowitz    The EPO is quite progressive on the question “is it technical?”Jul 28 04:46
schestowitzFor 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), andJul 28 04:46
schestowitz    many computer gaming aspects are technical (even when they are about presenting information).Jul 28 04:46
schestowitzThe 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
schestowitzOther than that, I pretty much ♥ the European way of software patenting.Jul 28 04:46

schestowitz"2/2 the prospect of lots of black people being able to walk around with concealed weapons legitimately could give a lot of racist white gun owners pause for thought about how far the second amendment should extend.|Jul 28 06:13
