Lux Lumen Intellectual Property is pleased to announce the next installment of IPWENSDAYs™, now presented in a modernized and more dynamic style.
As part of our continued commitment to providing practical legal insights, the IPWENSDAYs™ series will now feature S-C-O-P-E™-inspired animated explainers. This updated format is designed to deliver high-value legal insights at a faster pace.
Our latest episode, now available on our YouTube channel, addresses one of the most consequential issues in software and AI patenting:
Whether you have a case of true technological Improvement vs. just “applying” a known software methodology to a new environment.
The new video examines recent decisions from the PTAB and the Federal Circuit regarding:
- What qualifies as a true technological improvement;
- When software claims are considered merely applying known tools to a new environment; and
- Why this distinction can determine success or failure under 35 U.S.C. §101.
These decisions highlight the ongoing challenge of defining inventiveness in the context of rapidly advancing technologies — and the importance of drafting strategies that demonstrate concrete improvements to underlying computing functionality.
We invite patent practitioners, in-house counsel, and innovators to view the latest episode and explore how this evolution in format will enhance the IPWENSDAYs™ learning experience.
