> This seems to be an appellate decision from Aug: ...
That's the decision in the case where Thaler sued the patent office (USPTO) because it refused to issue a patent where the AI was named as the inventor. If I recall, the patent office said it would issue a patent with Thaler as the inventor, but that's not what Thaler wanted.
Thaler seems to be on some kind of crusade to get an AI recognized as a person.
