US Patent Office answers if AI can be considered an inventor and it rejects what Biden government said
The USPTO has issued new guidelines classifying generative AI as a tool, not a creator, for patentability. The agency clarified that legal credit for an invention must remain with a human inventor, regardless of AI assistance. This update returns to foundational patent principles, rejecting previous joint inventorship standards for AI-assisted claims.
