The rapid growth of generative AI is transforming innovation and intellectual property law, particularly through the creation of AI-generated prior art, which complicates patent applications and litigation. AI tools can flood the patent space with numerous variations of technical disclosures, challenging the novelty and non-obviousness of new inventions. This shift necessitates new legal frameworks and strategies to address issues of enablement, public accessibility, and the authenticity of AI-generated evidence in the patent process.
