Patenting inventions is one way to capitalize on the hard work and creativity that drives an innovative product, but recent cases have made things difficult for innovators whose inventions are expressed in software systems and processes. Software itself frequently cannot be patented. But this is not to say that AI-based vision and embedded vision inventions are unpatentable. This presentation will give you an update on the latest developments in software patentability and help you navigate this landscape to best protect your innovative efforts.
