Practical Steps for Inventors and Companies with AI-driven Inventions
To navigate the complexities of patent ownership with AI-driven inventions, inventors and companies should consider the following practical steps:
· Documentation: Keep detailed records of the invention process, clearly distinguishing between human and AI contributions. This documentation can help establish inventorship and ownership.
· Contracts and Agreements: Ensure that employment contracts, licensing agreements, and collaboration agreements explicitly address the ownership of AI-assisted inventions.
· Legal Consultation: Seek legal advice from intellectual property attorneys who specialize in AI and patent law to understand the latest developments and ensure compliance with current regulations.
