How to patent artificial intelligence? - With Thomas L. Lederer, European Patent and Trademark Attorney
Show Notes

Have you ever wondered, if AI solutions can be patented? Do you have an AI solution and look for legal protection? Did you know that you actually cannot patent algorithms, but need to construct methods around to make it patentable. And did you know that AI diagnostics applications are exempt from patenting? All these questions will be discussed in this episode.

Our guest speaker, Thomas L. Lederer, is one of the few German attorneys, who specialises in patenting artificial intelligence. Thomas studied physics, machine engineering and informatics in Munich at LMU and TUM. But then he became German patent attorney in 2012 and European patent attorney in 2015. Since 2021 he is European Patent and Trademark Attorney at ABP Burger Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft.
