Artificial Intelligence

Savvy Advice in a "Smart" Market

Artificial intelligence (AI) — the science of teaching a machine how to “think” — has its roots in the 1950s. Until recently, it was considered a niche that was reserved for academics and government-sponsored research programs. However, recent major advancements in sensors, big data, and computational horsepower are allowing companies to integrate “smart” technologies into much of what they are doing, from self-driving cars to medical disease diagnoses to personalized target marketing.

Patent Prosecution & Counseling

The Mintz team regularly helps clients file protections on their highly sophisticated AI and machine learning-related systems and methods. The Supreme Court decision in Alice injected uncertainty into the patent system and caused some companies to question the value of filing patents in the space. However, the Mintz team crafts claims with care and precision based on Federal Circuit guidance that allows for patent applicants to direct claims to subject matter that will reliably survive Alice challenges.
