But how will patent protections apply to inventions made with the help of AI tools, particularly generative AI?
In connection with training an AI system, what level of planning will be required?
“A natural person who only presents a problem to an AI system may not be a proper inventor” of something, the USPTO said.
In that case, the USPTO had rejected the patent applications of an inventor who had given his AI system sole credit for the inventions.
The inventorship guidelines will help everyone understand the boundaries of patent protections as AI is increasingly used in the inventive process.
