Interesting diffusion of #AI across technology areas as described in patents

[USPTO @uspto]

From our new artificial intelligence and #patents report: Patents containing #AI appeared in about 9% of technologies in 1976 and spread to more than 42% by 2018. Read: https://t.co/ssG02xpAo0

This was a big effort.

Supreme Court’s 2014 decision in Alice Corp. led to a rise in patent application rejections in certain tech areas (software). Our report shows how this trend was significantly reduced after issuance of revised patent examination guidelines in 2018 and 2019 https://t.co/Pu0VqrPE99
