How is European patent law addressing the growing use of artificial intelligence in pharmaceutical innovation?<\/p>\n

\"Patentability<\/p>\n

Our Paolo Di Giovine<\/a> shares analysis and thoughts in his new article, \u201cPatentability of AI-based Inventions in the Pharmaceutical Field under European Patent Law\u201d, just published in the European Health & Pharmaceutical Law Review.<\/p>\n

AI is increasingly shaping pharmaceutical R&D, and a full understanding of what this can mean in terms of patent protection is becoming essential for both innovators and legal practitioners.<\/p>\n

Paolo explores key questions around inventorship, technical character and patent eligibility, and he reflects on whether the current legal framework is adequate to accommodate AI-driven inventions in this rapidly evolving field.<\/p>\n
