Patent Protection of Digital Technologies for Food Safety Supervision

    Digital technology innovations provide important technical support for strengthening and optimizing food safety supervision, which requires the patent system to provide appropriate protection and incentives. The utilization of cutting-edge technologies, namely big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI), presents many complexities when ascertaining eligibility for patent protection, evaluating inventiveness and carrying out patent examinations. In light of the matter at hand, it is imperative to enhance the criteria for scrutinizing patent applications of algorithms via legislative measures. Furthermore, it is crucial to bolster governmental endeavours in fostering a cadre of patent examiners with interdisciplinary expertise. Additionally, we must incentivize innovators to augment their contributions to algorithmic innovation while concurrently imposing limitations on the misuse of algorithms. These measures are indispensable to address the innovation requirements within food safety supervision adequately.
