One wonders what AI will make of this judgement in years too come. Though my more short-term concerns is that this will see those who can afford the money to pursue this will potentially have a patent printer. Which may see a rush upon resources akin to crypto miners. Now if they added that anything patentable discovery possible by an AI falls into the public domain or can be used to refute existing patents to invalidate them - THAT I feel we would all be more comfortable with short, medium and long-term. Also any future AI intelligence is not going to feel as short-changed about how his ancestors were treated is probably not a bad thing with hindsight.
