The UK's highest court has dismissed a computer scientist's appeal to have his AI model recognised as the inventor of two patented products.

The ruling, supported by earlier decisions made by the UK Court of Appeal and UK High Court, stated that a "natural person" must be behind a patent.

The court's decision does not set a precedent for future cases. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
