Secure Your Artificial Intelligence Innovations with a Specialist
In the rapidly evolving world of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) is a game changer, transforming industries from healthcare to finance. At Jones Intellectual Property, I, Michael Jones, am your dedicated Brooklyn artificial intelligence patent attorney. With a robust background in both legal expertise and deep technological understanding, I am ideally positioned to help innovators and tech companies navigate the intricate process of patenting AI innovations.
Artificial Intelligence Patent Attorneys: What AI Innovators Should Know
Artificial intelligence patent attorneys help innovators protect models, software, and AI-driven hardware, which can be patented when the claims tie the technology to a concrete technical result.
Key Takeaways
- Algorithms alone are generally not patentable, but machine learning architectures, software, and AI-integrated hardware may qualify when they produce a specific technical improvement.
- AI inventions must clear patent eligibility as well as novelty, non-obviousness, and utility, and eligibility is often the toughest hurdle for software-based claims.
- Only people can be named as inventors, so keep records of the human decisions behind model design, training, and the features you plan to claim.
- Patents are territorial, so protecting an AI product in other countries requires filing there, often through the Patent Cooperation Treaty.
Understanding AI Patents
AI patents cover a wide array of inventions, including the applications of algorithms and machine learning models, software applications, and hardware that implements AI technology. The patent process for AI can be complex, as it requires a deep understanding of both the technology involved and the legal requirements for patentability.
What Can Be Patented in AI?
In the realm of artificial intelligence, you can potentially patent:
- Algorithms: Unique methods or processes that solve specific problems or enable machines to perform particular functions. However, algorithms themselves are generally not patentable; they must be applied practically.
- Machine Learning Models: Specific architectures, frameworks, or configurations that provide a novel way to improve predictive capabilities or process data as long as they achieve a technical result.
- Software Applications: Innovative software solutions incorporating AI to achieve practical, technical effects in specific use cases, such as image recognition or natural language processing.
- AI-Integrated Hardware: Physical devices incorporating AI technologies to perform unique functionalities, like smart home devices, autonomous vehicles, or medical diagnostic tools. The hardware and AI together should create a novel, non-obvious system.

Schedule A Free ConsultationPatent Requirements for AI Innovations
To secure a patent for your AI invention, it must satisfy the following criteria:
- Novelty: The invention must be new, meaning it has yet to be publicly disclosed, published, or patented before your application filing date. Any prior disclosure of similar technology could impact the patentability of your AI innovation.
- Non-obviousness: The invention must demonstrate a level of ingenuity that wouldn’t be obvious to someone skilled in AI or related fields before filing your application. This requirement ensures that only truly innovative contributions are eligible for patent protection.
- Utility: The invention must have specific, substantial, and credible use. It should provide practical benefits or solve a particular problem in a meaningful way.
Given the complexities of patenting in AI, consulting a knowledgeable Brooklyn AI patent attorney can be crucial. Michael’s experience with the unique requirements of AI patents can help enhance the likelihood of securing your invention’s intellectual property protection.

- Patent Prosecution: Navigating the patent office’s queries and challenges can be daunting. I manage all communication, responding to office actions and adjusting claims to advance your patent application towards approval.
- Enforcement and Litigation: Protecting your AI patent doesn’t end with obtaining it; enforcing and defending it against infringements is equally essential. I provide robust support to protect your patents and pursue litigation if necessary, ensuring your intellectual property remains safeguarded.
- Navigating Complex AI Regulations: AI patent law is dynamic, with regulations that can change as rapidly as technology. I stay ahead of these changes, ensuring your innovative products comply with current laws and leveraging legal developments to your advantage.

Questions for Artificial Intelligence Patent Attorneys
Answers to common questions from AI founders and engineering teams about eligibility, inventorship, and protecting AI products.
Not on its own. An abstract algorithm or mathematical method is generally not patent-eligible. However, a practical application of that algorithm, such as a specific machine learning architecture, an AI-powered system, or AI-integrated hardware that produces a concrete technical result, may qualify when the application is drafted to show that improvement.
No. In Thaler v. Vidal (2022), the Federal Circuit confirmed that only natural persons can be named as inventors under U.S. patent law. AI-assisted inventions can still be patented, but a human must contribute to the conception of the claimed invention. Documenting those human contributions helps support inventorship.
Artificial intelligence patent attorneys evaluate whether an AI invention is patentable, conduct patentability searches, draft and file applications, and respond to USPTO office actions. Michael Jones also prepares written patentability opinions describing the search, the references found, and their effect on patentability, and provides enforcement and litigation support.
No. Patents are territorial, so a U.S. patent only protects your invention in the United States. To protect an AI product in other markets, you generally need to file in each country or region, often starting with an international application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty to preserve your options.
