UK Supreme Court aligns UK software patentability with EPO approach

The UK Supreme Court’s Emotional Perception decision moves UK practice closer to the EPO for computer implemented inventions, including AI. Claims with ordinary hardware will usually avoid the “computer program as such” exclusion, but only technical features can support inventive step. In practice, applicants should focus arguments and evidence on technical contribution and inventive step.

Key takeaways

  1. UK moves closer to EPO, inventive step becomes the main battleground.
  2. Ordinary hardware avoids exclusion, but may not support inventiveness.
  3. Only technical features count at inventive step, not business aims.
  4. Neural networks are treated as software, no special treatment either way.
  5. Draft around technical contribution, measurable effects, and system level impact.
