Some scholars have called for the amendment of patent laws to eliminate the statutory requirement of listing the inventor.96 However, this proposal would deprive human inventors of the benefit of inventorship because one of the perks for inventing is the moral recognition of the inventor among his or her peers.97 While this argument has merit, it may still be plausible to make an exception and eliminate this requirement for those inventions where AI is the only inventor.
