Inventions related to software or AI cannot be patented—or so goes a widespread assumption. However, there are opportunities under patent law for IT startups that should not be underestimated, which will be presented in this workshop.
Patent attorney Dr. Josef Bogenrieder from the Winter • Brandl patent and law firm offers insights into the IP protection options available, particularly regarding artificial intelligence (AI):
- What is patentable and what isn’t?
- What requirements for patentability must be met for software and AI?
- In which cases does filing a patent application for software or AI make sense?
- What needs to be considered in the cost-benefit analysis?
