Artificial intelligence, big data and cloud-based services are creating new opportunities for medical technology – but also new challenges for patent protection.

In his presentation ‘Best practices in patenting digital medical technology, particularly in the AI field – a practitioner’s view’, Dr Holger Veenhuis provides practical insights into the successful filing and enforcement of patents relating to digital medical technology.

Using concrete examples, he will demonstrate how companies can identify innovations eligible for protection, secure competitive advantages and avoid legal pitfalls.

Dr Holger Veenhuis is a European and German Patent Attorney, holds a PhD in physics and specialises in the protection of digital medical technology. He has previously spoken on this topic on several occasions at the MEDICA TECH FORUM.

The presentation will take place on 19 November 2026 at 11.35 am at Messe Düsseldorf (Hall 10, Stand G04). Further information can be found here.
