It should be noted that in any event, consideration was given to the document of the application to join (compare: High Court of Justice 8420/21 Al-Naqwa v. Israel Defense Forces (January 24, 2023)) and in the hearing, the Institute's counsel was also allowed to address the matter.
- On behalf of the appellant, a motion was filed to attach evidence. The documents referred to by the appellant in this application were A summary document of the status of the examination proceedings in parallel patent applications; a decision of a German court regarding parallel requests; The GuidelinesUSPTO On the matter of "inventiveness" in inventions invented with assistance AI[19], the request of theUSPTO to receive the public's position regarding the guidelines and the response of the Society of Electrical and Electronics Engineers; Published data regarding the use ofGenAI In various industries; and articles. The Respondent was of the opinion that this was not "evidence" and in any event, an examination of its content reveals that it is irrelevant.
In short: I did not find anything in the content of the documents to change the outcome of the discussion.
Note and Conclusion
- I have not found any other arguments of the parties or other considerations to change the outcome of the discussion on the merits of the matter (see Mani Rav: Civil Appeal 16744-02-25 Habani v. Official Receiver, Tel Aviv (April 29, 2025), Section 15; References mentioned in a civil case (Tel Aviv District) 2696-10-19 Haaretz Newspaper Publication in Tax Appeal v. Rotter.Net in Tax Appeal (November 22, 2024), section 222) and the aforesaid rule, the question of whether asymmetry vis-à-vis the situation elsewhere in the world is expected or is not expected to benefit the local interest (paragraphs 47 of the decision; paragraphs 46-47 of the appeal; p. 43 paras. 7-12); "Law" possibilities by virtue of which and on the basis of the existence of an inventor it is possible to have an invention (including Doctrine of Accession, Section 3 to the Movable Property Law, 5731-1971, Jewish Law); The meaning of "grading" linguistic possibilities in the interpretive process (Interest Clement, paragraphs 46 and 67); And more.
- Ultimately, the appeal was dismissed.
The Secretariat will provide the judgment to the parties.
