AI cannot be named as inventor or given patents, rules UK Supreme Court

Stephen Thaler wanted to be granted two patents in the UK for inventions he says were devised by his "creativity machine" called DABUS.

His attempt to register the patents was refused by Britain's Intellectual Property Office on the grounds that the inventor must be a human ora company, rather than a machine.

Thaler appealed to the UK's Wednesday Supreme Court, which on unanimously rejected his appeal as under UK patent law "an inventor must be a natural person".
