FAQ

Frequently asked questions

These are general answers. Advice may differ after the facts and applicable law are reviewed.

Can software be patented?
A concrete computer-implemented process and technical effect must be explained, rather than an abstract idea alone.
Must the AI model be disclosed?
We distinguish what must be described for filing from material that should remain confidential.
Do you review open-source use?
Open-source licensing obligations and software-asset practices can be reviewed separately from patent issues.
