In a decision published on April 27, 2020, the United States Patent and Trademark Office determined that only a human can be considered an inventor.

Stanley M. Gibson, Chair of JMBM’s Patent Litigation Group discusses these issues in the article, “What Happens When Artificial Intelligence Invents: Is the Invention Patentable?” published in the Vol. 41 No. 4 issue of AI Magazine.
