SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USPTO held its inaugural AI/ET
Partnership meeting in June 2022. This meeting provided an overview of
the National AI Initiative and the USPTO's efforts on AI/ET, including
the USPTO AI Patent Dataset. The meeting also discussed important
patent policy issues related to AI/ET inventions, such as subject
matter eligibility, disclosure, and inventorship.
The USPTO held its second AI/ET Partnership meeting in September
2022. This meeting focused on AI and biotechnology, and explored
current trends highlighting the convergence of technologies in the life
sciences and AI, as well as the IP considerations arising from this
technological convergence.
The USPTO will hold its third AI/ET Partnership meeting virtually
and in person at the Arts District Mansion in Dallas, Texas, on
Wednesday, February 8. This meeting is being hosted by the USPTO's
Texas Regional Office in collaboration with the DBA IP section and the
State Bar of Texas IP section.
During the meeting, panelists from the USPTO and diverse
stakeholders from academia, industry, and law firms will explore
various IP policy issues with respect to AI-driven innovation. Panel
discussions will cover: (1) the current state of AI-driven innovation,
(2) ways to address inventions created with significant AI
contributions, and (3) unanticipated IP challenges from AI-driven
innovation. The meeting will also include a public listening session.
