The guidance emphasizes that only a natural person can be an inventor, even if they used AI tools. However, a person has to make a significant contribution to the invention to be an inventor.

While questions may linger about what constitutes a "significant contribution," the guidance offers some clarity on what that entails. For instance, constructing a prompt in view of a specific problem to elicit a particular solution may be examples of significant contributions.
