The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) plays an important role in incentivizing and protecting innovation, including innovation enabled by artificial intelligence (AI), to ensure continued U.S. leadership in AI and other emerging technologies (ET). seek stakeholder input on the current state of AI technologies and inventorship issues that may result from their advancement.
The discussion centered around a few fundamental questions of inventorship in the era of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Some of the questions included:
How is AI used in the invention creation process?
How does the use of an AI system in the invention creation process differ from the use of other technical tools?
If an AI system contributes to an invention at the same level as a human who would be considered a joint inventor?
What statutory changes, if any, should be considered as to U.S. inventorship law, and what consequences do you foresee for those statutory changes?
Given the experience of this committee and the depth of the discussion, this event is easily one of the most influential and defining moments for the future of inventorship in the AI era.
The key takeaways from some speakers are listed as the following.
