Polar Bears or Sea Turtles? The uncomfortable conflicts at the heart of the sustainability movement

Between scoffing mince pies and watching Die Hard (again), I found time over the festive period to watch David Attenborough’s latest documentary series, Planet Earth III. While the shots were predictably spectacular and the animals suitably fascinating, this time around the series focused much more on the destruction of the natural world due to human activity. The tear-jerking stories included a family of African elephants facing decimation following climate change induced drought; a Brazilian maned wolf and her pups narrowly avoiding disaster as their grassland home is burned to make way for agriculture; and numerous sea turtles trapped in floating plastic detritus.

An overview of Technical Board of Appeal decisions since G2/21: where are we with post-published evidence?

At the end of November the Board of Appeal (3.3.02) handed down its decision on T 116/18. As a reminder, T 116/18 was the case that led to G2/21; the referral to the Enlarged Board of Appeal on the standard required to rely on post-published evidence to support inventive step (the “plausibility” decision). A summary of that decision can be found here.

Powering Tomorrow: Intellectual Property & Nuclear in the Age of Net Zero series round up

In an era defined by the urgent need for global sustainability, nuclear is one of the many technologies that must play its part. Throughout this series, we have looked at the critical role of intellectual property in driving innovation and economic progress, while shaping the course of the nuclear industry’s development. Published patent filings serve as a useful proxy for trends in innovation and investment. So, it’s certainly encouraging to see filings in the past decade beginning to return to levels last season in the 50s and 60s.

The Supreme Court puts the question of AI owned inventions to rest – at least for now

The “creativity machine” DABUS (Device for the Autonomous Bootstrapping of Unified Sentience) was created by artificial neural networks (ANN) expert Dr Stephen Thaler. According to its creator, DABUS is the inventor of two inventions, including a food container discussed in patent application GB1816909.4, and a flashing beacon for attracting attention discussed in GB1818161.0.
