Ramya Rao, M S Devi, and Amrish Tiwari write for the International Bar Association’s Business Law International (Vol 26, No 1) on a UK Court of Appeal ruling in Comptroller v Emotional Perception AI Limited, redefining patentability for AI-driven neural networks.
The technology at stake harnesses artificial neural networks to analyze human emotions and recommend media files, testing the scope of computer program exclusions.
The authors cover the Aerotel framework, a four-step legal test employed by UK courts to assess the patent eligibility of software-based inventions. Furthermore, they emphasize the need for a demonstrable technical contribution, and discuss potential implications for India’s evolving AI patent landscape.
