DABUS is a form of neurocomputing and in some sense, DABUS may be said to mimic aspects of human brain function. DABUS and its creator Dr. Stephen Thaler have garnered worldwide attention when patent applications naming DABUS as the sole inventor were filed in several national patent offices. These filings have spurred meaningful discussion about AI-related inventorship and ownership and patents have been granted in Australia and South Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">In Canada, Deeth Williams Wall LLP is the agent of record for the DABUS patent application.
