In a Westlaw Today article, IP transactions attorneys examined new guidance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that AI-assisted inventions are not categorically unpatentable and why human authorship is being considered a requirement for patent eligibility.
The USPTO guidance provides some principles for determining the inventorship of an AI-assisted invention as well as the impact such determination has on other aspects of patent practice. The USPTO is seeking public comments during the 90-day comment period.
The article was authored by technology and intellectual property transactions partner Regina Sam Penti, life sciences and IP transactions partner David McIntosh, IP transactions partner and practice co-chair Melissa Rones and IP transactions associate Jianing "Jenny" Zhang<s.<></s.<>
