The article “A Comparative Overview of Patenting AI Inventions” examines the differences in how patent protection for AI inventions is structured in the US, Europe and China, and demonstrates that the requirements regarding patentability, inventive step and disclosure vary significantly depending on the region. It also provides practical recommendations on how companies can strategically leverage these differences.

Alongside authors Lin Li (Wolf Greenfield), Edmund Walsh (Wolf Greenfield) and Nancy Song (Liu & Partners), patent attorney Dr Holger Veenhuis is also a co-author, having drafted the European section in particular. 

The article follows on from the 2025 webinar “Patenting AI-Implemented Inventions: A Global Comparison”, in which Dr Holger Veenhuis also participated.
