• A recent Commissioner of Patents decision considered the patentability of an invention relating to a computer-implemented method for modelling three-dimensional surfaces. In 2023, the Federal Court of Appeal addressed the topic of patentable subject matter and computer-implemented inventions in Canada (Attorney General) v Benjamin Moore & Co. Subsequent to that case, the Patent Appeal Board considered patentable subject matter in the context of a gasoline purchasing system. This most recent decision solidifies topics explored in these prior decisions, and provides a framework for applying PN2020-04.

• It is unclear whether the UKIPO will stop raising objections under the computer program exclusion for ANNs and start invoking a different exclusion, such as the “mathematical method” exclusion. This exclusion is frequently applied to computer-related inventions like mathematical algorithms, but it was not considered further in the appeal for procedural reasons. Despite these uncertainties, this decision is likely to enhance the UK’s attractiveness as a jurisdiction for patentable AI inventions.

• The question of whether an AI system is capable of being named as an inventor of patentable subject matter is being tested around the world as part of The Artificial Inventor Project. The project comprises a series of “test” patent applications filed by Dr Stephen Thaler in respect of inventions generated by his AI system, ‘DABUS’.

• A recent Commissioner of Patent’s decision considered the patentability of a computer-implemented invention. This case has implications in particular for the threshold of physicality required for patentable subject matter. Earlier this year, the topic of patentable subject matter for a computer-implemented invention was addressed by the Federal Court of Appeal in Canada (Attorney General) v Benjamin Moore & Co, so this case builds upon principles established relatively recently.

• From the Guidance, it is clear the USPTO does not see a patentable invention unless there is a significant human contribution to the invention. Furthermore, the process of invention is important to the USPTO: to qualify as an inventor, the user of the AI system must be more than a presenter of a problem for the AI system to solve. However, the USPTO nonetheless recognizes “prompt engineering”—the art of designing inputs for AI systems—as potentially innovative and patentable under Principle No. 2 in the Guidance.
