The "No AI Inventors" rule just got a major nuance update.

On November 28, 2025, the USPTO released streamlined guidance that reshapes how we view AI-assisted inventions. The new standard clarifies that while an AI cannot be an inventor, a human who significantly contributes to the conception of an invention—even while using AI tools to generate or select specific outputs—can be.

For software developers and R&D teams using generative design, this lowers the barrier to patent protection. It shifts the focus from "did AI touch this?" to "did you direct the AI toward a specific inventive concept?"

Properly documenting the "human contribution" is now the critical step to withstanding USPTO scrutiny under these new standards.

Innovators using generative AI may wish to review their invention disclosure processes to ensure they align with this updated guidance.

Is "retrieval" the same as "learning"? The copyright courts are about to decide.

On December 5, 2025, The New York Times filed suit against Perplexity AI. Unlike previous cases focused on training data, this targets Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)—systems that fetch and summarize live content. The suit alleges this acts as a market substitute rather than a transformative use.

This is a critical development for any business integrating AI search or summarization tools. It signals that the "fair use" defense for AI is facing its strictest test yet regarding real-time content usage.

Understanding the evolving boundaries of copyright enforcement and fair use is essential for platforms integrating third-party content.

Businesses utilizing AI search or summarization tools should consider evaluating their copyright compliance protocols in light of these new legal challenges.

Trademark decisions are happening faster. Is your brand strategy ready?

On December 2, 2025, the USPTO announced it has surpassed its efficiency goals, reducing the average time to a first office action to just 5.6 months.

Faster processing is good news for securing rights, but it also means shorter windows for businesses to react to citations or oppositions. A proactive clearance strategy is more vital than ever to avoid rapid rejections.

Comprehensive clearance searches help identify risks before the application is filed, aligning with the USPTO’s accelerated pace.

With accelerated examination timelines, brand owners are encouraged to prioritize early clearance searches before filing.

The biggest games of December prove that IP is the ultimate long-term asset.

As 2025 closed with the release of Metroid Prime 4 and new Marvel titles, the industry highlights a key lesson: the enduring value of franchise IP. These releases represent decades of brand building, managed through strategic trademarks and licensing.

Whether you are an indie developer or a studio, the goal is to build a universe, not just a product. Protecting your characters, lore, and titles early allows for future expansion into merchandise and transmedia.

Structuring robust licensing agreements is essential for protecting franchise assets as they expand across media platforms.

Creators looking to expand their franchises may wish to explore how comprehensive licensing structures can protect long-term IP value.

Your customers aren't searching for you; they're scrolling to you.

Cyber Monday 2025 data reveals that social media platforms drove 14% of global retail traffic. The shift from traditional search to "social discovery" is accelerating, making platforms like TikTok and Instagram critical sales channels.

This shift requires a new approach to brand protection. Trademarks must be enforced not just on websites, but within social apps where counterfeits and unauthorized sellers can easily hide behind profiles.

Utilizing platform-specific brand registries and enforcement tools is often necessary to protect a brand's identity in the social commerce ecosystem.

Retailers active on social channels should consider reviewing their trademark enforcement strategy to ensure it covers these emerging marketplaces.

The USPTO Director's authority over patent challenges has been affirmed by the Federal Circuit.

In a precedential decision (In re Motorola, Nov 6, 2025), the Federal Circuit rejected challenges to the USPTO Director’s authority to deny Inter Partes Review (IPR) petitions. The court confirmed that the Director has broad discretion in managing these proceedings.

For patent holders and challengers involved in litigation, this creates stability. It confirms that the current rules regarding discretionary denials are here to stay, requiring careful strategic planning when filing or defending against an IPR.

Navigating the discretionary denial framework is a complex but necessary part of protecting or challenging patent validity in PTAB proceedings.

Parties involved in potential patent disputes should be aware of how these affirmed standards may impact their procedural strategy.

Venjuris was proud to be part of in Buenos Aires this week—where innovation met international collaboration.

David Logan, a long-standing ASIPI member and trusted IP counsel for many Latin American firms and clients, represented Venjuris at this year’s event. From discussions on cross-border enforcement to building stronger frameworks for global IP protection, the conference was a timely reminder of how connected the IP world really is.

For Venjuris, these engagements go beyond networking—they’re part of our commitment to staying at the forefront of international IP strategy.

New anti-counterfeit tech, like the blockchain-backed QR systems showcased at Global Fintech Fest 2025, promises a powerful win against fakes.

But for brands and fintechs, integrating this tech isn't just plug-and-play. It creates a new, shared IP ecosystem and raises critical contract and data questions that must be answered before deployment.

Before you activate product QR verification, here are 3 IP checks to complete:

➡️ 1. The Brand License: Your trademark and product packaging will appear in the fintech's verification app. Their QR code will be printed on your product. This requires a crystal-clear license that defines use, maintains quality control, and prevents your mark from being diluted.

➡️ 2. The Data Ownership: This is the critical question. When a consumer scans the code, who owns the valuable verification data (location, time, device)? The fintech platform? The brand? Both? The contract must explicitly define ownership and data-use rights.

➡️ 3. The Consumer Terms & Enforcement: Your privacy policy must be updated to reflect this new data collection. You also need a clear workflow for enforcement. When a fake QR code is found, who is responsible for the DMCA takedown or platform notice?

Ensuring these three points are locked down in your platform and licensing agreements is the essential first step to a secure and successful roll-out.

Happy Small Business Saturday!

Every major corporation, every game-changing technology, and every beloved global brand started exactly this way: as a small business with a big idea and the courage to pursue it.

The local roaster with its trade-secret blend, the boutique software firm with its first patent-pending product, the new restaurant with its carefully built brand—this is where innovation begins.

We love Small Business Saturday because we are passionate about the origin story.

We know that the journey from a brilliant idea to a successful enterprise is one of the most challenging and rewarding in business.

Today, let's show our support for their vision and their resilience.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is a day for gratitude, and as we reflect, we’re thankful for the "spark"—that moment an idea is born.

We’re grateful for the restless spirit of innovators, the courage of entrepreneurs, and the brilliant teams who work tirelessly to turn those "what ifs" into "what is."

But most of all, we're thankful for the people who make it all possible—our colleagues, our families, and our incredible community.

We hope your day is filled with warmth, rest, and great company.

What’s one thing, big or small, that you’re grateful for today?

Two October 2025 developments underscore how wireless & smart-home patents are creating sudden licensing exposure for device makers.

First, a Texas jury awarded $445.5 million in a 5G standards (SEP) patent suit against a major electronics company. Days later, the Supreme Court declined to review a smart-thermostat patent dispute, letting an infringement finding stand over its software algorithms.

The message is clear: patent risk for connected devices is high and can materialize quickly from both core connectivity (SEPs) and unique user functionality (software).

This new reality reinforces the need for a coordinated IP strategy. Device makers, OEM suppliers, and retailers should be proactively checking chain-of-title, reviewing SEP exposure, and—perhaps most critically—auditing the indemnity clauses in their supplier contracts.

This new landscape reinforces the need for IP counsel and product teams to be fully aligned before a product launch. A proactive review of supplier contracts is essential to avoid these costly surprises.

An October 2025 memo from the USPTO is tightening how the PTAB handles prior court or agency decisions, making a coordinated litigation strategy more critical than ever.

The new guidance directs PTAB judges to explicitly explain their reasoning if their decision diverges from a prior ruling (from District Court, the ITC, or even earlier PTO decisions) that involved the same or substantially similar arguments.

This isn't a mandate for the PTAB to follow other forums, but it is a mandate for transparency.

For patent owners and challengers, this means you can no longer treat parallel proceedings as isolated silos. A failure to disclose a related adjudication or, conversely, a failure to proactively highlight a favorable court ruling, creates significant risk.

Practically, in-house teams must now maintain a "related-matters crosswalk"—a living document tracking every argument and claim construction across all forums. A contradictory argument or an unaddressed adverse decision could be used to damage credibility or lead to a surprise outcome.

How is your team ensuring your PTAB strategy is fully aligned with your co-pending litigation or ITC actions?
