摘要
人工智能作为当今最为尖端的技术类型之一,涉及算法设计、数据整合、语音识别、图像处理等诸多技术内容,其基本架构包括基础层、感知层、认知层和应用层四个技术层次,每个层次中相关技术的不同技术特征与功能形态,导致了不同的可专利性判定结论。为实现对人工智能技术的充分专利保护,应对人工智能技术的基本架构进行全面解析,并根据我国专利法的相关规定,展开对人工智能技术中所涉及的各类技术方案的可专利性分析。基础层中的算法模型在现行专利授权规则下往往被认为是自然法则或抽象概念而被排除出专利保护客体范围;感知层和认知层中通过算法模型与特定硬件或应用场景相结合而形成的技术方案,须与算法模型相融合并有所提升,满足专利授权的创造性条件,才能成为我国专利法所保护的技术类型;应用层中最终产品的可专利性,则取决于产品的性质与结构是否符合专利授权的基本要件。
Artificial intelligence,as one of the most advanced technology types,encompasses a wide range of technical contents,including arithmetic designing,data integration,speech recognition,image processing,and so on.Its basic architecture could be classified into four levels:basic level,perception level,cognitive level,and application level.Different levels of technical characteristics and functional forms lead to different conclusions for patentability.For the purpose of realising full patent protection of artificial intelligence technology,a systematic analysis of the basic architecture of artificial intelligence technology is required,as well as the analysis of the patentability of all kinds of relevant artificial intelligence technologies based on the regulations of China’s patent law.The algorithm at the basic level is usually seen as natural law or abstract concept,which is excluded from the objects of patent protection under the current patent regulations.The technologies in perception and cognitive levels are created by combining algorithmic models and specific hardware or application scenarios.Only if the technologies are integrated with the algorithmic model and improved themselves,then the technologies could fulfil the creative conditions of China’s patent law.The patentability of final productions at the application level is dependent on whether the nature and structure of the products comply with the basic requirements of patent law in China.
