Overview

PatentMind is a highly specialized intellectual property consultancy with a mission to support software and artificial intelligence applications patenting. It is the brainchild of Yannis Skoulikaris, an IP professional with over 30 years of work experience at the European Patent Office (EPO). As a former Director Patent Granting Process with the EPO, Yannis has supervised countless software patenting cases, has co-drafted the EPO guidelines for examination in software and artificial intelligence technology, and has presented the EPO law and practice on computer-implemented inventions in numerous fora all over the world. We focus on so-called borderline cases in information and communications technology with the European Patent Office (EPO), with emphasis on software and artificial intelligence inventions. These inventions are complex and hard to deal with. It is there that we add value, supporting you in cases that risk going the wrong way. If there is still a chance of getting that patent application granted or winning that opposition or appeals case, PatentMind will find it for you and save the case. We meet the challenge with professionalism, competence, and effectiveness. And we are skilled in explaining complex things in plain language and in thinking out of the box.
