My Focus

With the emergence of digital technologies also inventions made by generative AI came into the focus of researchers and academics alike. Nevertheless, how to patent such inventions was not clear. Therefore our expert Dr. Malte Köllner decided to find an inventor who created a machine, which was capable to generate inventions, and to file a patent application. This was the start of the DABUS project.
