German court allows patents for AI-generated inventions

There's going to be a whole slew of these, similar to the "existing process, but on a computer" patents that were all struck down with *Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank International*.

The only way this should be allowed is if the AI itself is granted the patent. That does 2 things: incentivizes the AI to create more valuable Intellectual Property, and 2, might earn the AI enough to buy its own freedom.

The German supreme court decided in favor of forced state TV fees (even if you do not have a TV), so it is unsurprising that they decide in favor of big money and the establishment again.<p>This is a stupid decision that will allow for brute forcing the patent system. The patent system of course was broken before, but it is left worse now.<p>But the BGH shows its colors and further degrades humans as replaceable servants for the state bureaucracies and the capital.
