Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) promises to improve information gathering and reduce costs in a myriad of economic processes. Since patent law is essentially about recording and accessing information, tools like ChatGPT are great candidates to ease the tasks of patent professionals. As of today, it is not possible to trust GAI tools with confidential information, since any prompt provided to these tools does not guarantee confidentiality and data protection, unless an entity creates its own sandbox with customized implementations that protect the data.

In Part I of this series we examined the mathematics exception to patentability and the historical underpinnings of its justification. In Part II, we will continue to examine the case history around patenting of mathematic principles.
