P”Ai”TENTS – are AI GENERATED inventions protectable

Patent applications in the field of AI technology are growing rapidly, particularly those related to Machine Learning and Generative AI. Generative AI tools have become common in various industries and services, and the demand for these tools is increasing. Through Generative AI, “technical advancements” are “generated” (terminology used by courts in the United Kingdom). As has happened in the field of copyright, in the field of inventions, most courts have been emphatic that the “inventor” of an invention must be a human being and that it is not possible to attribute inventorship based on the “doctrine of accession.” What discussions are anticipated in this area? Will the “advances generated by AI” in the field of utility enter the public domain, or will they be subject to another type of property right, or will there be a change in the principles that privilege the human bieng as the direct inventor? Our speakers will share their opinions and experiences, will refer to decisions in comparative law, and present intellectual challenges regarding the treatment of Generative AI in the world of patents.
