UK Supreme Court hears landmark patent case over AI ‘inventor’

LONDON, March 2 — An American computer scientist today urged the United Kingdom’s Supreme Court to rule he is entitled to patents over inventions created by his artificial intelligence system, in a landmark case about whether AI can own patent rights.

His attempt to register the patents was refused on the grounds that the inventor must be a human or a company, rather than a machine. He argued in court filings that the owner of an AI system is “entitled to inventions generated by the system and to the grant of patents for those inventions if patentable”.

Stuart Baran said in written arguments that the British government had recently conducted a public consultation on how AI-created inventions should be dealt with under the UK patent system and decided not to change the law.
