If someone challenged your patent, they can try to prove that you used an AI.
- Delumine 3y agoBut there are AIs made to self-correct that they aren't AI. Humanizing their work. Likewise If I use AI to give me a blueprint of an idea, but I use my brain and methodologies to "reverse-engineer" it, how is this even enforced. I doubt someone submitting to the USPTO is going to include "AS A LLM" somewhere in the submission lol.

- gowld 3y agoThe requirement for a patent is that it is novel and non-obvious. If a "person having ordinary skill in the art" can create it, it's not novel. If anyone with a ChatGPT subscription can create it, it's "obvious". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Person_having_ordinary_skill_in_the_art https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Person_having_ordinary_skill_i...
- hk__2 3y ago> If someone challenged your patent, they can try to prove that you used an AI. That not enough, they also have to prove that the AI did most of the work. From the article: > On Tuesday, the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) said that to obtain a patent, a real person must have made a “significant contribution” to the invention This seems logical; it would be foolish (and impossible!) to completely forbid people to use AI.
- lallysingh 3y agoI think that 'proof' would be making a prompt showing the AI's output, with it having done most of the "innovation."
- hk__2 3y agoOne could argue that writing the right prompt is part of the innovation.
