Hi ,
If you look at the list of the greatest inventions of the 20th century, you’ll find they all have two things
in common. From tea bags to toasters and from cell phones to cellophane, they all take the form of physical objects, and all are, or at least were, protected by patents.
Yet, since the turn of the century, the nature of inventions has changed significantly. And many of the greatest inventions of this
century now take the form of computer code or models.
But how do you protect an invention you can’t physically touch?
In the latest episode of Value Driven Data Science, I'm joined by patent attorney Helen McFadzean to discuss the intersection of artificial intelligence and intellectual property.
Some of the things we discuss in this episode include:
- What is the difference between patents, trademarks and copyrights?
- How do you know if an AI/ML-based invention is worth protecting and how do you protect it if it is?
- What parts of an AI/ML-based invention can be protected through patent law?
- The importance of good communication in capturing IP.
- What happens if an invention
was invented by a generative AI, rather than a human?
