Organizations across all industries are adopting generative AI systems as critical components of their business strategy. These systems often take the form of hosted or on-premises pretrained large language models (LLMs), both proprietary and open source. Organizations acquiring access to pretrained LLMs from a small but growing list of providers can apply various customization techniques. Once customized, LLM usage by an organization can potentially result in an output that constitutes an invention like those on which thousands of U.S. patents are granted every year. As just some examples, a suitably customized LLM could generate a technique to determine a navigation plan consistent with an ODD associated with an autonomous vehicle, an algorithm to predict disease onset based on clinical and environmental factors, or computer code to detect malware by overcoming dynamic obfuscation attempts.
Typical license provisions vest ownership of intellectual property rights in such output in the organization as user of the LLM. A statutory predicate to the contractual outcome regarding ownership of patent rights is the requirement of a sufficient contribution by a natural person in the effort that yielded the output. The issues implicated by this requirement are one development among more to come as patent law and policy try to catch up to proliferating AI technology.

In recent years, there has been a growing number of dry cleaners claiming to be "organic," "green," or "eco-friendly." While that may be true with respect to some, many dry cleaners continue to use a cleaning method involving the use of a solvent called perchloroethylene, commonly known as perc. And, there seems to be an increasing number of lawsuits stemming from environmental problems associated with historic dry cleaning operations utilizing this chemical.
