Real-World Example
We recently filed a software application involving a system for optimizing medical image analysis using AI. Previously flagged for § 101 rejection in 2023, we refiled under the 2025 guidance, emphasizing how the algorithm improved computing efficiency and patient outcome prediction. The case passed § 101 review without amendment.
