This article uses the advancements in artificial intelligence as the starting point for consideration of the role of human inventorship in European patent law. It argues that human inventorship is a necessary condition for the existence of an invention and inventive step, with the result that only products of human inventorship merit European patents. It identifies failings of European authorities to reflect this adequately in their approaches to determining patentability. Finally, it recommends recognising human inventorship as an implicit patentability requirement being an aspect of the statutory requirements for an invention and inventive step and extending applicant's disclosure duties correspondingly.

欧洲专利法中的人类发明

本文以人工智能的进步为出发点，考虑人类发明人在欧洲专利法中的作用。它认为，人类发明人是发明和创造性存在的必要条件，因此只有人类发明人的产品才能获得欧洲专利。它指出了欧洲当局未能在其确定专利性的方法中充分反映这一点。最后，它建议将人类发明人身份视为一项隐含的可专利性要求，这是对发明和创造性的法定要求的一个方面，并相应地扩大了申请人的公开义务。
