Tel Aviv Court Rules on AI Patent Ownership

🤖 AI as Co-Inventor: Are Patent Laws Obsolete? AI isn’t just assisting humans anymore. It’s starting to invent. And patent law wasn’t built for that. Courts in the US, Europe, China, and Singapore still say: 👉 Only humans can be inventors. But regulators worldwide (USPTO, WIPO) are now consulting on how to deal with AI-generated inventions. Two camps are forming: ⚖️ Create a new inventorship category (credit AI, give rights to its owner) 🧍 Keep inventors human-only (clear responsibility, simple law) One thing is certain: 📉 The current system won’t survive unchanged. This isn’t just a legal issue. It’s about how we define creativity, ownership, and innovation in the AI era. 💬 Should AI be: 1️⃣ An inventor 2️⃣ A tool 3️⃣ Something entirely new Your take? 👇 #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation #PatentLaw #IntellectualProperty #LegalTech #FutureOfIP #AIRegulation #EmergingTech #TechPolicy #DigitalTransformation #VisionLexIP #IPR #techinnovators

AI is moving fast — but patent law still requires a human behind the invention. ESCA Legal patent partner Angela Coxe, sits down to break down what founders, startups, and in-house teams actually need to know about protecting AI-driven innovation right now. ✨ Key takeaways from the conversation: • AI can support invention — but it can’t be the inventor • Public AI tools can create unintended public disclosure risks • Patent protection hinges on technical improvements, not abstract ideas • Future-proof portfolios require thinking beyond today’s use case For anyone building in AI, machine learning, or advanced software, this discussion is essential viewing before launching, sharing, or scaling. 🎥 Watch the full conversation with Angela Coxe #ESCAlegal #PatentLaw #AIandIP #TechFounders #Startups #InnovationLaw #ArtificialIntelligence #IntellectualProperty

Mark Cuban recently argued that trade secrets will become more common in place of patents, since AI can now train on any filed patent and help competitors design around it. At least in food & health technologies, he's (half) right. Yes, AI accelerates patent analysis. It can map claims, identify gaps and suggest workarounds. But this has happened since the beginning of [patents] time; AI now makes it much easier. The bigger problem: even a startup with 95 patents typically lacks the resources to enforce them. That means going public can endanger you as much as protect you, especially if your IP strategy is shallow. How *is* IP strategy changing in the AI era? Our CTO Dr. Gali Artzi puts it this way 👇 ▶️ "If you've evaluated that a patent advantage outweighs the risk, you need to do it strategically. That means not just patenting the specific process, but a set of surrounding claims required to make the technology work at scale. Competitors might use AI to propose alternatives, but any commercially viable path runs into one of these claims." ▶️ "It also means being honest about why you're patenting in the first place. Patents aren’t just legal shields, they're market signals, fundraising assets and deal enablers. A good patent also serves to tell a story about why this company will win. They can support premium positioning in B2B sales, boost investor confidence and valuation, and unlock licensing, JV and M&A optionality."

Lawhive has secured €50M (Series B) to scale its AI-native consumer law firm model and push faster into the US. The round was led by Mitch Rales (co-founder, Danaher Corporation), with participation from GV (Google Ventures), Balderton, TQ Ventures, Jigsaw, Anton Levy and LTS. CEO & co-founder Pierre Proner says “agentic AI” can help deliver consumer legal services with the speed and consistency people expect while automating routine work like drafting, research, case management, intake and payments via tools such as their AI paralegal “Lawrence.” Lawhive says annual revenue now exceeds €29M, it already operates in 35 US states, and it’s opening a New York office alongside Austin to support the next growth phase. At The AI World Organization, we track moments like this where AI moves beyond productivity tools into real operating models especially in regulated, high-trust industries.

Artificial intelligence is changing how inventions are created, owned, and protected across borders. 🌍🤖 As innovation becomes increasingly collaborative and global, patent law faces a moment of recalibration. This piece explores inventorship, harmonisation, cross-border licensing, and the future of patent collaboration in an AI-led world. Read more 👇 https://lnkd.in/dxx-9FTD #patent #ai #ipr

"Scale doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by design." - Paul Harrity In 2025, our team drafted 2,220 full patent applications, an increase of more than 700 over the previous year. Of those, 1,587 were prepared using AI-assisted workflows. This isn’t about replacing expertise. It’s about amplifying it. By combining experienced patent professionals with smart tools and defined processes, we’ve increased output without compromising quality. The takeaway? Technology alone isn’t the answer. It’s the integration of people, process, and intent that unlocks real leverage. At Harrity, we’ve built a smarter way to work—because the future of IP demands it.

Today in AI | Who Gets to Invent in the Age of #AI? The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued updated guidance on AI-assisted inventions - and the line is clear:  Only humans can be named inventors under U.S. patent law. What this clarifies: AI can assist with research, ideation, and experimentation. Human contribution and judgment define inventorship. Accountability and ownership stay with people, not models. The bigger takeaway? As AI accelerates discovery, #IP frameworks are reinforcing human agency to keep innovation transparent, accountable, and trusted. AI may help invent. But inventorship remains human. #TodayInAI #AIandIP #USPTO #Patents #Inventorship #ResponsibleAI #DeepTech
