It is useful to look at every headline and ask: How is this going to lead us into a dystopian Hell? Imagine a new law passed to protect corporate IP where corporations and AIs are people, but humans are not.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
No, the ruling is more than that it must be filed in the name of a human. It also says 'a real person must have made a “significant contribution”'.

This is so interesting... it sounds to me that operators can have AIs "inventing" things and publicly sharing these things. Creating so much stuff (like bitcoin but for AI) covering virtually everything - from science to music. And because no humans contributed to these…
Anyway if AI is capable of that, there will be bigger changes to society than intellectual property!
AI could, however, poison the well for human patents, by making inventions and putting them into public view. Let's have LLMs churn out millions of discoveries, stick them on a public web site, then use that as a resource to kill other patents.
Has anyone tried doing that without LLMs? Could you make a GitHub repo under MIT license and just let people add a list of ideas to serve as prior art?
