Software patent applications have become increasingly desirable. However, patent jurisdictions treat software patent applications differently, with such applications being easier to obtain in certain jurisdictions over other jurisdictions. Thus, what are the requirements and best practices for different jurisdictions that provide the best chance of getting a granted application?

These requirements and best practices for the different jurisdictions are discussed in a special online Masterclass by providing an overview of the current landscape for software patents in Europe, the UK and the US. The Masterclass also includes a focused discussion regarding artificial intelligence and machine-learning patents and the viability of such patents in the respective jurisdictions. On behalf of NLO, European Patent attorneys Harm van der Heijden and Marta Alvarez Guede explain the European approach. You can watch the Masterclass "Across Continents: Exploring Common Ground and Contrasts in Patenting Software Inventions in the US, UK and Europe" at nlo.eu for free. As a bonus, you can download the extensive summary written by Harm and Marta.
