The issue of whether an artificial intelligence (AI)
platform or its programmer(s) should, or can, be credited with the
creation of an Intellectual Property (IP) asset has been hotly
debated over the last couple of years. But if recent events are any
indicator, the world of AI can be transformed in just a couple of
months. Will the IP system be able to keep up?
Join our webinar to discover the cutting-edge world of legal
technology and learn about the potential of artificial intelligence
to revolutionize the IP industry.

Patent offices in the United States, European Union, United
Kingdom and elsewhere have already determined that an AI tool cannot hold inventorship: Only
natural persons can be inventors. However, jurisdictions with no
substantive patent examination procedures, such as South Africa,
have allowed the submission of applications naming an AI as the
sole inventor (but not as an assignee).
