DESCRIPTION:Monday\, September 13\, 2021\n\nIEEE Consultants’ Network of 
 San Diego\n\nTopic: “Patent Eligibility of Software”\n\nSpeaker:\n\nRo
 b Cogan\, Continuum Law\n\nAbstract\n\n“Patent eligibility” is critica
 lly important for software inventions. The 2014 Supreme Court case Alice C
 orp. v. CLS Bank International held that putting an old method on a comput
 er would not make it patentable. This decision turned the world of compute
 r-related inventions on its head because it created so many ambiguities. S
 ince then\, several more Supreme Court decisions and carefully crafted set
 s of guidelines from the Patent Office have provided some clarification. T
 oday’s rules are equally applicable to complex software as to game apps.
  A better understanding of patent eligibility goes hand-in-hand with a bet
 ter understanding of value. We will also touch on such matters as whom to 
 name as the inventor of a program generated by artificial intelligence\, c
 opyright ownership of code\, and working as a software consultant.\n\nSpea
 ker(s): Rob Cogan\, \n\nAgenda: \nThis meeting will be held online.\n\nSan
