Human or non-human remains the question for designating AI (based machine) as inventor. An overall evaluation after the appeal decisions in the UK, EPO and in AUSTRALIA on DABUS applications
It will be recalled that, in the subject applications, the applicant Dr. Thaler has designated AI (DABUS)as inventor and claimed that he derived the “right to the patent by virtue of being its creator and ownerâ€. The applicant asserted that the “inventions had been created autonomously†as DABUS, the so-called, “the creativity machine†“produces new ideas and mimics the human brain’s major cognitive circuit: the thalamocortical loop.â€
