Abstract

The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom has ruled that artificial intelligence cannot be considered as an inventor of patents under the current patent laws ([2023] UKSC 49). The judgment, which has been annotated by the most important international media, may still result in an incorrect conclusion, if we assume that an AI to be incapable to create and generate autonomously technical advances. To be clear, this is not the decision-making subject, and it is not the conclusion that can be drawn from the decision-making process.
