A veteran Silicon Valley patent attorney says Chinese startups are moving aggressively to develop AI chips and are outpacing US companies in filing patents for these technologies.
Dennis Fernandez, who spent the last two decades in Silicon Valley helping inventors, startups and investors secure patents for a wide range of technologies, said he's been struck by a recent development on the IP front: a strong push into AI chips by Chinese firms, and an equally aggressive bid to file patents to defend these technologies.
The number of AI patent applications filed by Chinese firms jumped six-fold between 2012 and 2018, the report said, noting:"This acceleration may well continue as China spends heavily to implement its stated goal of becoming the leader in AI by 2030."Fernandez says that goal rests on a critical area where China is focusing increasingly: semiconductors. He himself has helped with investors and startups from China, and witnessed firsthand China's rise in AI chip technology.
AI got a big boost over the past few years with gains in deep learning, technology for helping software to mimic the way the human brain works. Deep learning takes advantage of artificial neural networks that make it possible for a system to recognize, record and process data and signals in order to organize information, similar to the way human memory works.
