&lt;p&gt;Join our coding competition on generative AI &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Are you passionate about AI, patent data and innovation? Do you have what it takes to revolutionise how users access and leverage patent data? Now's your chance to shine and compete for prizes of up to EUR 20 000!  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We're excited to announce a new EPO CodeFest on generative AI, a unique coding competition that encourages developers to devise applications that transform how patent data is accessed, interpreted or utilised to help reveal hidden opportunities and streamline decision-making processes. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Participants will get access to patent datasets like the EPO’s new Technology Intelligence Platform as well as services which typically require subscriptions. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Don't miss out on this opportunity to make a difference with your data science skills and contribute towards a more sustainable future and patent system!  &lt;a href="https://www.epo.org/en/news-events/in-focus/codefest/codefest-2024-generative-ai" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Submit your proposal now&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you have any questions, you can always contact our team at &lt;a href="//mailto:codefest@epo.org"&gt;codefest@epo.org&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Keywords: codefest, generative ai, technology intelligence platform, TIP, developers &lt;/p&gt;
