In Recentive Analytics, Inc. v. Fox Corp. et al. (No. 2023-2437, slip op. April 18, 2025), the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the ineligibility of claims essentially wrapping general-purpose machine-learning claim limitations around a known process. Practitioners also face more § 101 rejections of AI/ML claims. Yet strong AI patents are still possible. This explores practical aspects of what to ask inventors, what to draft, and what to claim to yield survivable AI-based patents, along with the USPTO’s ethics-based disclosure requirements.
