The decision ends American technologist Stephen Thaler's grueling legal battle in the U.K. to get his AI registered as the inventor of two patents.

His AI system, named DABUS, created a food and drink container and a light beacon.

Thaler believes that he is entitled to rights over the AI's inventions.

.

Fox News reports that similar applications by Thaler have also been rejected by tribunals in the United States and the European Union.

According to the U.K. Supreme Court, DABUS is , "not a person, let alone a natural person and it did not devise any relevant invention.".

According to legal experts, the case highlights U.K. law's inability to keep up with technology.
