Patent is based on the concept of quid pro quo. It requires the applicant to draft the application in such a way so that it satisfies the doctrines of written description, enablement, and best mode. However, in case of AI-related invention, the situation is tricky. Most of the inventions carried out by AIhas black box scenario—where the inventor also may not be aware of the fact how the invention was exactly carried out by the AI system. The current study delves into the situation regarding how patent offices in Europe and India are dealing with such scenarios. Focussing on the AI-assisted inventions, the study finds out that in Europe, there is a clear guideline about AI-related inventions. The guidelines are tighter than those of the US.
