In 27.1.2020, the European Patent Office (EPO) published the grounds for its recent decision to refuse two European patent applications in which an artificial intelligence (AI) system was designated as the inventor. The main reason for the decision was that the inventor must be a "natural person" as requested by the European Patent Convention whereas the submitted applications talking about an inventor which is an artificial intelligence machine. However, the decision is not sufficiently clear regarding inventions produced by AI algorithms.
