  In this episode of Knobbe IP+, Knobbe Martens partners Jarom Kesler and Bryan McWhorter discuss the latest developments in AI and patent eligibility. Sharing insights for both fellow IP practitioners and inventors seeking to patent their latest innovations, Jarom and Bryan answer some of the most frequently asked questions surrounding the role of AI in the patent process: Can AI be listed as an inventor on a patent? Are certain AI-related inventions more patentable than others? What are the common pitfalls to avoid in the AI patenting process? Beyond exploring these questions, Jarom and Bryan discuss how the USPTO and U.S. courts differ on their approach to AI patentability, and share practical strategies for inventors aimed towards building strong AI-related patents that can survive future litigation.
