Inventorship in AI-Assisted Inventions: Designing an Experiment to Shape Case Law

Bryan Khan, Duygu Usta, Yevhenii Shchetynin

A society-initiated experiment using selected AI-assisted invention cases can generate court precedents to clarify inventorship rules faster than waiting for natural litigation.

Claims

C1strongest claim

Conducting such an approach will help identify the most effective methods for measuring human contribution to AI-assisted inventions when determining inventorship.

C2weakest assumption

That a society-initiated experiment with selected AI-assisted cases can reliably produce court precedents that meaningfully shape inventorship doctrine faster and more comprehensively than waiting for organic litigation.

C3one line summary

Proposes conditions and a methodology for a stakeholder-led experiment to create case law on human inventorship in AI-assisted inventions.
