AI inventions present the current patent system with a number of challenges. In order to provide better protection and embrace the full value of patents it is necessary to have timely, transparent and accessible standards for patent granting that market players can fully rely on. To harness the economic potential of AI it is important to understand the uncertainties faced by innovators and for IP Offices to consider how to best support AI innovation.||What are the market trends and how do these translate in terms of patent applications?
