On July 17, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued a 2024 Guidance Update on patent subject matter eligibility (SME), including on artificial intelligence (AI). This update complements the guidance that the USPTO issued in February 2024 regarding patent inventorship and AI-assisted inventions. Both documents were created at the direction of Executive Order 14110 on the “Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence” (October 30, 2023). The order directs the USPTO to “promote innovation and clarify issues” related to AI and intellectual property.
