AI & software patents

29 Oct 2026, 09:02

Nvidia, OpenAI and Anthropic Face a Wave of 2026 Patent Suits — CourtListener dockets show at least nine patent cases filed in 2026 against the three companies alone: six against Nvidia over chips, networking and data processing, two against OpenAI—including Many Worlds 2T Innovations’ Eastern District of Texas suit over ChatGPT search, memory and retrieval features—and one by the University of Tennessee Research Foundation against Anthropic over neural-network array patents. Most plaintiffs are licensing entities or research institutions, not product rivals, and the piece flags thin generative-AI portfolios as a cross-licensing weakness. patenta.ai

Federal Circuit Affirms §101 Rejection of Computerized Bartering Claims — In In re Wenkman, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed a PTAB ruling that claims 1–20 of a pro se application for a computer-implemented grocery-for-gold/silver barter system are directed to an abstract economic practice and lack an inventive concept under Alice. The court held that generic computers, scanners and electronic cards performing receive/transmit/display functions do not transform bartering into eligible subject matter, and did not reach a separate written-description rejection. ipwatchdog.com

Federal Circuit affirms Section 101 rejection

Patent Bots Launches Sprocket, an AI Assistant for Prep and Prosecution — On October 27, Patent Bots introduced Sprocket, a generative-AI drafting assistant that works inside Microsoft Word step by step on applications and office-action responses, with attorney review at each stage rather than end-to-end autonomous drafting. The tool can attach disclosures, figures and prior art, auto-retrieve office actions and cited patents, and pairs chat with saved prompts and rules-based automation under a zero data-retention policy on U.S. servers. ipwatchdog.com

OpenAI Files Patent for a Live Timeline of AI Reasoning Steps — A USPTO publication dated October 22 describes OpenAI’s application for a chat UI that streams typed reasoning messages—text notes, image edits, search results and code-execution results—onto a live timeline while a model works, with collapsed or expanded views and a separate model summarizing hidden raw thoughts. Claim 1 covers tagging each update by type and rendering it with its own presentation format so long multi-step jobs no longer look frozen. patentlyze.com

Nvidia Files Patent to Compress Hybrid Language Models Without Scrambling Layers — Also published October 22, Nvidia’s application covers group-aware pruning of non-permutation-equivariant layers such as Mamba-style state-space blocks inside hybrid LLMs, scoring channels and heads, trimming weight matrices, then recovering accuracy via knowledge distillation. The filing targets smaller models for resource-constrained deployment and says ignoring group structure when pruning can break sequential layers. patentlyze.com

IBM Files Patent for AI That Drafts Security-Compliant System Designs — IBM’s October 22-published application describes software that ingests customer requirements and standards (for example HIPAA or PCI), uses machine learning to find overlapping controls, reuses past designs when coverage clears a threshold such as 75%, and otherwise fills gaps from a reference blueprint before saving the new design to a library. The examiner had already raised objections; the write-up notes human sign-off would still be needed in practice. patentlyze.com

T-Mobile, Nokia and NVIDIA complete world’s first live-network AI-RAN call in Bellevue — T-Mobile hosted what the partners call the first AI-RAN voice call on a commercial cell site in Bellevue, Washington, over its live production network. The setup used Nokia Massive MIMO radios, Nokia 5G anyRAN software and NVIDIA Aerial RAN Computer servers tied to a commercial 5G core and commercial handsets; further field trials will add AI-for-RAN algorithms and shared-platform AI inference. Nokia

T-Mobile and Nokia engineers at the Bellevue AI-RAN milestone

Nokia and NVIDIA push AI-RAN toward commercial use and launch a sovereign agentic telco platform — At GTC Berlin, Nokia said AI-native anyRAN on NVIDIA Aerial RAN Computer is moving into live networks, with Elisa already running radio and AI workloads together, Deutsche Telekom reporting 10–15% lab uplink gains from AI channel estimation, Orange advancing tests, and BT preparing a Birmingham trial for 2027. The companies also introduced a governed agentic AI platform that folds NVIDIA Nemotron models into Nokia’s Autonomous Networks Suite for cross-domain operations under operator oversight. Nokia

NVIDIA says Aerial RAN Computer now beats proprietary RAN on performance per watt — On a media call after the GTC announcements, NVIDIA’s Ronnie Vasishta said ARC with partners such as Nokia now exceeds ASIC-based RAN on performance per watt and that commercial AI-RAN deployments with leading customers are expected in 2027. OEM designs from Dell, Supermicro and QCT cover C-RAN MGX 2U/4U systems and the MGX 2U Short used for T-Mobile’s Bellevue call and Elisa’s cell-site trial. The Mobile Network

Telecall Colombia and Parallel Wireless advance AI-enabled Open RAN 5G rollout — Parallel Wireless and Telecall Colombia announced plans to accelerate a national-scale 5G deployment across thousands of sites on Telecall’s 3.5 GHz (n78) licence, using UNITY AI Open RAN and the GreenRAN energy platform. The build targets FWA broadband where fibre is scarce and densification in high-demand areas; no site count, capex or completion date was disclosed. Parallel Wireless
