The Ministry of Digital Development has released a draft law for public comment that expands the definition of artificial intelligence to "a set of technological solutions that imitate human thinking," adding the terms "system," "service" and "model." As a result, generative models can now be claimed as objects of intellectual activity. Article 13 will force patent owners to list every AI service, model and dataset used in an invention; otherwise, the application will be rejected as incomplete. AI operators are required to send a "notification link" that includes the formats and restrictions on the resulting intellectual products.
For CEOs, this means that without a strict compliance program that records datasets, model versions and training parameters, you risk losing patent protection. Contracts with AI developers must be rewritten to include clauses documenting AI usage in inventions. This is not a mere formality; lacking documented evidence leads to loss of rights and erosion of competitive advantage.
Why this matters: Failure to comply will result in rejected patents and weakened IP portfolios. Implement rigorous tracking now to safeguard your innovations and maintain market edge.
