Sometimes I think of myself as the creativity machine. A cool part of this system is that I have a right to seek and obtain patent protection for my inventions (if any). The USPTO is treating Mr. Dabus differently. When Dabus filed for patent protection in 2019, the examiner refused to examine the patent and the PTO Commissioners Office has confirmed the refusal.
The problem is that Mr. Dabus (DABUS) is not human, but rather is a machine - a creativity machine.
