The UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) has published its long-trailed AI patentability guidelines. Originally announced as part of the conclusion to the UKIPO’s first AI and intellectual property consultation that ran from September 2020 to March 2021, this document explores the appetite for changes to UK patent and copyright law around AI innovation. Whilst, in respect of patents at least, changes to the law seem to be off the cards for now, the UK government is still keen to “unleash the power of AI” and these new Guidelines very much seem to focus on what is possible in terms of AI patents.
