From automating the control of vehicles to recognising speech and classifying images at levels comparable to \u2013 or even higher\u00a0than \u2013 human capabilities, these processes are now spearheading an unprecedented wave of technical developments\u2026 as well as fostering significant investments. In this context, securing legal protection for such objects is of the\u00a0utmost strategic and economic importance. Patents are one of the principal tools that can offer protection to innovators for their technical contribution and, as such, constitute an essential means to promote and incentivise technical\u00a0progress. After having introduced the essential characteristics of the latest generations of artificial intelligence inventions, we will address the patentability of computer-implemented AI inventions and of the products generated through\u00a0the use of AI applications. Examples derived from the applicable European case law will be used to illustrate this presentation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Jean-Marc-Deltorn\">Jean-Marc Deltorn<\/a> is Assistant Professor and senior researcher at the International Centre for the Study of Intellectual Property (CEIPI, University of Strasbourg).
