\n

The US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia has issued a verdict that an artificial intelligence (AI) machine cannot be listed as an inventor under the US Patent Act. The decision concerned two patent applications filed by Stephen Thaler for an AI machine called DABUS. Both of the applications were already rejected by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the federal court upheld the Office\u2019s view that AI algorithms cannot be listed as inventors based on the US patent laws.<\/p>\n

The court stated that the definitions provided by the US congress for \u201cinventor\u201d within the Patent Act refer to an \u201cindividual\u201d whose ordinary dictionary and statutory meaning is a natural person or a human being. Moreover, as the plain language of the law mentions personal pronouns such as \u201chimself or herself\u201d and the verb \u201cbelieves\u201d in adjacent terms modifying the word \u201cindividual\u201d makes it clear that the congress was referencing a natural person.<\/p>\n

In July, an Australian court\u00a0held<\/a>\u00a0that the same AI machine, DABUS, could be considered as an inventor in Australia. The court further stated that it is needed to be a consideration beyond the mere dictionary definition of \u201cinventor\u201d as being a human and considered the decision consistent with the reality of the current technology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
