What is Thinking Makes It So?

Artificial intelligence patent law, from a registered patent attorney. Every Monday, the week's developments: Federal Circuit decisions, Patent Office guidance, and what the largest AI companies are filing. Every Friday, original data computed from Patent Office records. On Wednesdays, a longer episode on the Supreme Court, the inventions that changed things, and what Shakespeare can teach a lawyer. On Saturdays, one granted artificial intelligence patent, explained from what the technology does to what the patent lets its owner stop others from doing. And a short episode on each new Federal Circuit decision on artificial intelligence patents. From Jon Burbage of Burbage Law, PC, in Salt Lake City. Narrated with the assistance of AI.
