Machine Learning Patents for Boston Engineers

What is an Machine Learning Patent?

‍

Machine Learning is revolutionizing multiple industries by providing a level of software intelligence that has not been seen before.  From legal to healthcare, machine learning is paving the way toward more efficient business practices and automation.  A machine learning patent can protect large language models, can cover new architectures, learning algorithms, and applications that combine symbolic reasoning and sub-symbolic learning.  Taking the right steps to ensure your AI invention is protected is key!

A machine learning (ML) patent protects various aspects of innovations related to machine learning technology. Here are the key areas it can cover:

‍

1. Algorithms and Models

‍

     •       Unique Algorithms: Novel algorithms that improve machine learning processes.

     •       Model Architectures: Innovative structures or designs of neural networks and other models.

     •       Training Methods: New methods for training models, including data processing techniques and optimization methods.

‍

2. Applications and Implementations

‍

     •       Specific Applications: ML methods applied to unique use cases, such as healthcare diagnostics, financial forecasting, or autonomous driving.

     •       System Integration: How the ML model is integrated into larger systems or products, enhancing functionality.

‍

3. Data Processing Techniques

‍

     •       Data Preprocessing: Novel techniques for preparing and preprocessing data before feeding it into ML models.

     •       Feature Engineering: Innovative ways to create and select features that improve model performance.

‍

4. Hardware and Infrastructure

‍

     •       Custom Hardware: Specialized hardware designed to accelerate ML tasks, such as custom chips or processors.

     •       Distributed Systems: Methods for efficiently distributing ML workloads across multiple machines or data centers.

‍

5. Post-Processing and Interpretation

‍

     •       Result Interpretation: Techniques for interpreting and visualizing the results produced by ML models.

     •       Error Reduction: Methods for reducing errors or improving the accuracy of predictions.

Why do I need to protect my machine learning with a Patent?

‍

1.Protecting Your Innovation A machine learning patent protects your unique AI algorithms, methods, and systems from being used, sold, or distributed by others without your permission. This protection ensures that your investment in developing cutting-edge AI technology is not exploited by competitors.

‍

2.Encouraging Further Innovation Patents provide a legal framework that incentivizes innovation especially for machine learning. By securing a machine learning patent, you can confidently invest in further research and development, knowing your intellectual property is protected.

‍

3.Attracting Investment Holding a machine learning patent enhances the value of your company and makes it more attractive to investors. Patents demonstrate that your company is at the forefront of machine learning technology and committed to protecting its innovative solutions.

Is Machine Learning Patentable?

‍

In short, yes, machine learning can be patented.  Having the right experience dealing with an machine learning innovation or based invention is crucial to the patent process as well as an understanding of the procedures at the USPTO. Boston Patent Firm provides the expertise and strategies you need to overcome the famed ‘101 rejection and move your machine learning patent from patent pending to patented.

Do I need a patent search before applying for a machine learning patent?

‍

A patent search or prior art search is a tool used to uncover similar patents to your invention with the anticipation of improving the patent’s description, strategy and claims.  However, there is an 18 month window of unpublished patent applications that are not available to the public and where a patent search won’t uncover the most recent machine learning patent filings.  We encourage every inventor to consult with a patent practitioner to determine whether a patent search is right for their business goals.
