Abstract

This article explores the legal implications of attributing inventorship in patent law to artificial intelligence systems. Focusing on the DABUS case and its international ramifications, it analyses how different jurisdictions have addressed the question of whether an AI system can be recognized as the inventor of a patentable invention. The study concludes that current legal frameworks still require human or legal personhood for inventorship.
