It addresses the challenges of the vaccine and tech era, discusses the patenting of AI systems and provides practical examples, such as the production of turbine blades using AI and 3D printing. Prof. Dr. Heinz Goddar and Melanie M\u00fcller suggest the creation of a trusted depository for trade secrets and data records, and emphasise that the profession and training for patent attorneys must continue to evolve.<\/p>\n<p>The full article by the two attorneys from BOEHMERT &amp;
