USPTO Memo: Reminders for AI & Software Inventions

On August 4, 2025, the USPTO issued a memorandum to software-related art units about subject matter eligibility for AI and computer-implemented claims under 35 U.S.C. § 101. The memo emphasizes that it "is not intended to announce any new USPTO practice or procedure and is meant to be consistent with existing USPTO guidance".

This memo builds on and refers to previous July 2024 AI guidance. That guidance provided new examples and analytical frameworks for examining AI inventions. This memo attempts to ensure those frameworks are consistently applied across art units.

The memo addresses four areas where examiners often lack consistency when applying the Alice/Mayo steps: mental process analysis, distinguishing claims that recite versus involve judicial exceptions, analyzing claims as a whole, and determining when rejections are appropriate.
