Types of AI-Generated Invention Patents

There are three types of patents that you can secure through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This includes:

Utility patents.This kind of patent protects a new machine, process, or composition of matter. If you’ve developed a new marketing technique inspired by AI, it may qualify for a utility patent.

Design patents. This patent protects the shape or design of an article manufactured by the inventor that is inventive. This might be the design of a product that was inspired by something generated by AI.

Provisional patents. This kind of patent is available for utility patent filings, as these are one of the most commonly filed patents. You can hold your place in the filing order while you refine your invention without having to submit a complete application. When you do file the application, as long as it is in the right timeframe, you get the filing date from the provisional patent.

Plant patents. This protects newly invented plant varieties, or plant varieties that are discovered through asexual reproduction. If you got an idea for a new plant variety from AI and brought that to reality, this type of patent may apply.

What Are Examples of AI-Generated Inventions?

AI-generated inventions are inventions where the ideas, conceit, or other basis of the invention were made with the assistance of AI. To qualify as a patent, it must be:

  1. Usable
  2. Innovative
  3. Non-obvious

Some examples of AI-inspired inventions may include:

  • A utility patent for a new method of business that was first AI-generated and has been changed to function
  • A design patent for a new phone-stand appearance initially inspired by AI-generated images and altered to be usable
  • A utility patent for a method of improved data security inspired by AI and altered to fit a company’s needs

Human input is important not only for the patentability of the invention, but also to avoid encouragement bias from AI systems and ensure the idea is functional and useful. It is crucial to work with an attorney early in the process of developing an invention, as they can help you find important resources in the right fields.

You should also work with an attorney because of the sheer number of patents being filed. There is a total patent inventory of nearly 1.25 million and over 559,000 utility, plant, and reissue patent applications filed at the USPTO as of August 2025, so it is crucial that you get help to give your patent the greatest chance of success.

The Patent Application Process for AI-Inspired Inventions

While not every patent application process is the same, it could follow these steps:

  1. Determining if it meets the definition of a patent
  2. Disclosing the invention
  3. Conducting a patent and art search
  4. Preparing your USPTO application
  5. Undergoing the examination process and responding to USPTO office actions
  6. Receiving the issued patent

FAQs

Will AI Take Over the Job of a Patent Attorney?

AI will likely not take over the job of an AI patent attorney, as patent law is a complex legal landscape that requires a nuanced understanding of how the law applies to your unique circumstances. AI can provide information that is available online, but cannot give legal advice about the patentability of a specific invention or the specific requirements of a strong patent application.

Can You Patent AI-Generated Inventions?

You may be able to patent AI-generated inventions, but this area of law is constantly changing and depends on many factors. AI-inspired inventions are more likely to be patentable when there is a substantial contribution from the human inventor. It’s important to document and explain how AI was used as a tool to inspire or generate your invention, and the ways that you changed, improved, and added to this idea. An attorney can help you determine patentability.

Do I Need to Hire an AI-Generated Inventions Attorney Who Has Experience in AI-Generated Patents?

Yes, you need to hire an attorney who is experienced in AI-generated inventions and related patents. They can help you review the specifics of your invention and determine its patentability, and will be up to date on the most recent changes to patent law regarding AI. AI patents are complex, and the laws are new, so having legal support is essential to improve success when filing a patent.

How Long Does It Take to Get a Patent for an AI-Generated Invention?

According to the USPTO, the average time it takes to receive a final decision on a patent is 26.6 months as of August 2025, not including applications where an inventor filed a request for continued examination (RCE). Filing an RCE increases the total time to receive a final response, and the average time for only patents with RCEs was 43.1 months.
