Software and AI patents cover algorithms, machine learning models, data processing methods, and computer-implemented inventions. These patents are among the most contested at the USPTO because of evolving eligibility rules under Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank.
Why it matters for hiring: Software patent claims must be drafted to emphasize the technical improvement, not just the abstract idea. An attorney who specializes in software knows how to frame claims that survive 101 rejections.
