The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear a challenge against the USPTO by a computer scientist. The latter claims that their patent should attribute their AI system as the inventor.

Computer scientist Stephen Thaler filed patent applications to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for reportedly unique prototypes of a beverage holder and a light beacon.
