Fascinating AI story from Roche. A lawyer (not a data scientist!) automated their patent analysis using Dataiku, doing 90% of the build himself. Revamped their whole workflow for patentability decisions.

Sawn
A lawyer, not a data scientist, built an AI system to automate patent analysis at Roche. With Dataiku, 90% of the work done himself. 🤯

Completely revamped how his team handles patentability decisions and takes on law firm requests.

Amazed by the ROI from this unexpected source.

There are few things that are more triggering for me than to have a client ask that I just sign and file a response that they drafted themselves. I understand that they think it will save money, but it won't.

First, I can virtually guarantee that what they wrote won't accomplish what they think it will - this is a fiendishly complicated field, loaded with arcana and esoterica. It takes a long time to learn how to do the job correctly.

Second, I simply can't. I have to draft everything I sign because my signature means something very specific under US Federal Regulations:

Apologies to regular followers, but I have a #Patentlaw question that's bugging the hell out of me, and I'm hoping some other #patent geek might point me to a definitive answer:

If a US national phase application under section 371 was NOT initially published in English, is it still available as prior art under 35 USC 102(a)(2) as of its international filing date, or only as of its 371(c)(2) completion date?

It may be that the use of the 371(c)(2) date was just eliminated wholesale by the AIA, but I'd like to see something in writing.

Watch this wild ride through the legal aspects of the impact of LLM coding onto FOSS usage in commercial products containing software:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMT8CYpTggc

I'll give the probably engineer guy in the audience props for the most creative idea around the loss of implied patent grants.

It'll be the proverbial interesting times. Denying existence or usefulness of the LLMs won't get anyone anywhere.

Hearing all of the current thoughts in this matter sort of sounds to me like a slow convergence of the ideas of IP and patent law.

I was therefore quite surprised to find a US patent for a gas chamber, a sealed room for conducting executions by poison gas (US 2,802,462 to Williams, Aug 13, 1957).

Well. This necessarily implies that a gas chamber for killing prisoners must have a moral utility. So, either the execution of prisoners by the state using a gas chamber is, in itself, a moral utility, or there is some OTHER use for the gas chamber that WOULD BE considered a moral utility.

Weird.

Even earlier, however, in his opinion for Lowell v. Lewis (15 F. Cas. 1018, 1019, C.C.D. Mass. 1817) Justice Story stated that "All that the law requires is, that the invention should not be frivolous or injurious to the well-being, good policy, or sound morals of society. The word ‘useful,’ therefore, is incorporated into the [patent] act in contradistinction to mischievous or immoral. For instance, a new invention to poison people, or to promote debauchery, or to facilitate private assassination, is not a patentable invention.” (cont)

When I was a baby patent agent, I was taught that US patent law had a "moral utility" requirement. That is, the US Patent and Trademark Office would not grant a patent on any invention having no moral utility.

The cited example was Rickard v. Du Bon (103 F. 868, 2d Cir. 1900): A patent on a method of putting spots on tobacco leaves was held invalid, because the only purpose of doing so was to make lower-quality tobacco *appear* to be higher quality, although it did not improve the tobacco in any way.

Since the leaf-spotting method had no utility that wasn't immoral, the patent was invalidated. (cont)

This week has been such that I feel that I need a diety to either curse at or pray to, professionally.

I am therefore introducing the Great Owl of Intellectual Property. Small sacrifices to the Great Owl are appreciated, particularly when claim drafting.

If properly supplicated, the Great Owl may also intercede on your behalf with particularly challenging examiners.
