Tysver, Dan

Dan Tysver has over thirty years of experience securing patents for cutting-edge software technologies. An advisor to innovators, he navigates the complexities of patent law to protect digital advancements, from blockchain to AI. Dan’s interest in AI began in law school, where he studied artificial intelligence and legal reasoning, and AI programming. His third-year paper explored case-based legal reasoning using a logic engine he built in Prolog. This early exposure shaped his perspective on the intersection of law and artificial intelligence.

Dan understands the unique patent challenges AI developers face. He has written extensively on AI patentability—particularly the subject matter eligibility requirements that AI inventions must meet—and has presented numerous seminars on AI and intellectual property. His presentations cover topics such as AI and copyright, AI use by attorneys, and the underlying mechanics of AI. Dan’s Bitlaw website has long provided free intellectual property resources and now features insights on AI, including discussions on generative AI, AI patents, and AI-related legal challenges. His expertise makes him an invaluable partner for AI innovators seeking to secure their intellectual property.
