US AI Patent Strategy: From Eligibility to Drafting

For an AI invention, saying that an algorithm is used is rarely enough. The application should connect inputs, training or inference architecture, computing-resource effects and concrete outputs to a technical problem and improvement. US drafting should consider eligibility and disclosure requirements together. Capturing alternative implementations and evidence of performance improvement before filing creates more options during prosecution. Guidance continues to evolve, so each application should be assessed against law and examination practice current at filing.
