Does AI become an inventor? Inventor Recognition in Patents

Who invented this patent?

The patent system grants the inventor an exclusive license to use the invention. Identifying the inventor is an important first step in the patent application process.
When individuals or companies work together on a project, not everyone involved is entitled to inventorship. Depending on the nature of the involvement, some will be inventors and some will not. If this line is drawn incorrectly, it can lead to unexpected problems.
In this session, we will discuss the concept of inventor under the Patent Law, the key points for recognizing inventors, and the risks involved in the case of a wrong inventor, in relation to the recently discussed AI-based inventions.

As described above, many companies are aware of the need to implement company-wide risk management and to formulate and review a business continuity plan (BCP), but are unable to implement and improve their BCPs.
There are many such companies. And while they may be concerned about the actual situation, they may be disclosing to the outside world that they have already taken measures to address the situation.

For those in a position to be held legally, socially, and morally responsible in the event that “loss risk management” is not functioning, understanding the essence of risk management and BCP and turning it into an opportunity for the company is an urgent and important issue.
This seminar will approach the essence of risk management and BCP through a comparative study of actual corporate examples, focusing thoroughly on the “management perspective.

The contents of this seminar will be useful for management personnel at all companies, including those in charge of disaster prevention and BCP.
