AI & Patent Policy Game
Global Not Applicable
The AI & Patent Policy Game is a WIPO initiative that introduced a gamified approach to exploring how artificial intelligence challenges traditional patent law concepts. Launched on the sidelines of the Standing Committee on the Law of Patents, the game invited delegates to engage with scenario-based questions on issues such as the threshold of human contribution for patentability, the implications of mandatory “labelling” of AI contributions in patent applications, how AI affects the right to a patent, and how access to AI tools may influence the inventive step analysis.
The activity provided a relaxed and interactive environment where participants discussed complex policy topics in an accessible way. The strong engagement demonstrated the value of gamification in helping stakeholders examine emerging questions at the intersection of AI development and the global patent system.
