6.1.

6.1. When examining CIIs and AI-related inventions, does your National Patent Office’s administrative practice take into account that:

• Patent protection is available in all fields of technology, including newly emerging technologies which involve AI;
• Subject-matter lacking technical character is excluded from patentability;
• Mathematical methods, when claimed as such, lack technical character;
• AI is not excluded from patentability if it provides a technical contribution;
• Computer programs are not excluded from patentability if they produce a technical effect going beyond the mere implementation of instructions on a computer?
