Patent Regimes Threaten Accelerated AI Innovation

7.1
A legal commentator argues current 20-year patent rules, designed to incentivize invention, now hinder progress as AI accelerates discovery. The piece cites historical examples—James Watt and the Wright brothers—and modern advances like DeepMind’s AlphaFold to show extended monopolies can cause rent-seeking and slow technological diffusion. It calls for recalibrating intellectual property durations and policy to match faster, automated innovation.
