Artificial Intelligence
Our specialist IP attorneys bring a rare combination of legal acumen and technical understanding of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
We protect: artificial intelligence innovations
Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries across the globe, with patent filings soaring. But while AI-related intellectual property can be incredibly valuable, it can also be notoriously difficult to protect.
Our experts bring cutting-edge knowledge of AI’s application across many different products and fields. We offer a clear understanding of how patent offices globally examine inventions in this fast-moving space.
We have helped clients to secure protection across automotive, blockchain, cryptography, software, quantum computing, electronics, life sciences, healthcare, telecoms, games, metaverse, immersive technologies and many more sectors.
The team contains mathematicians, physicists and pure computer scientists, meaning we truly understand the underlying technology behind both pure and applied AI-related patents.
Genuine expertise in AI and ML
Software-related inventions present unique challenges. Since computer programs and mathematical methods can be explicitly excluded from patentability, securing protection for AI and ML (machine learning) inventions requires specialist input.
In such complex fields, turning innovations into robust, legally-enforceable depends on the quality of the initial drafts. To maximise the likelihood of being granted, they must be prepared by an attorney with deep, direct, first-hand experience.
Our experts have drafted and prosecuted a significant portfolio of patents for groundbreaking AI technologies. We uniquely understand the legal and technical challenges and, crucially, how to overcome them.
