VERBATIM: The U.K.’s highest court says “an inventor must be a person” to apply for patents under the current law. The decision was the culmination of American technologist Stephen Thaler’s long-running British legal battle to get his AI listed as the inventor of two patents. Tribunals in the U.S. and the European Union have rejected similar applications by Thaler.
