Join patent expert Benita Mackay and me for a discussion on the future of software patents in Europe. We'll go beyond the COMVIK approach and explore potential new standards, especially for AI inventions.

In this session, we'll cover:

- Why COMVIK may be failing: Unpacking its limitations in protecting cutting-edge software and AI technologies.

- A new era of software patents: Exploring possible modifications to the novelty and inventive step requirements.

- ChatGPT weighs in: We'll analyze the AI's proposal for "Process Innovation Use Claims".

- Navigating the EPO: Benita shares her predictions and practical advice for successfully patenting software and AI in Europe.

In this episode, I share the exact AI tools I use daily to streamline my patent attorney work. We cover key areas where AI can make a real impact:

Patent Drafting

• I talk about my AI patent drafting journey, from early attempts with chatbots to the current setup using GPT4All with Llama 3.2 and Rowan Patents.

• Discover how integrated drafting environments, like those used in software development, can be a game-changer for patent drafting.

• Learn why prompt engineering is essential to getting better results with AI chatbots.

Document Analysis

• Tools like Google’s NotebookLM help with understanding and enhancing invention descriptions.

• Offline alternatives like GPT4All are also useful for privacy-conscious workflows.

Client Communications

• How I use AI to draft client emails efficiently with conversational prompting techniques.

Google’s NotebookLM just turned any document into a podcast! It’s like having two people discuss the topic in a super realistic conversation. As a patent nerd, I couldn't resist feeding it the COMVIK decision. Hear the AI’s autogenerated podcast and my commentary in this video. It's wild! 🤯

OpenAI is one of the most influential companies in artificial intelligence, and since I’m both a computer nerd and a patent attorney, we have to take a look at their patents, obviously.

I've started to look more seriously into commercial patent drafting software products. One tool called Rowan Patents looked quite promising to me, so I thought why not take a look together.

Disclaimer: I’m not affiliated with Rowan Patents. I just think this could be a very handy tool, so I wanted to share my experience.
