AI and Software Patents: Our Approach to Eligibility

BY SEAN LYNCH · NOVEMBER 7, 2025

For AI and software inventions, eligibility is usually the central question — and it turns less on the idea than on how the invention's technical substance is identified, framed, and described. The difference between an application that reads as a result and one that reads as a concrete technical solution is largely a drafting and disclosure problem.

Lynch LLP works on AI and software patents with attorneys who come from engineering backgrounds, focusing on surfacing the technical detail that makes an invention more than an abstraction. How a given invention gets framed depends on its architecture, its constraints, and what it actually improves.
