In practice, one would name those who ran (whatever that means) the robot. Only the party who is the aggrieved rightful owner of the property in the patent can challenge errors in naming the inventor. In your hypothetical, who would that be? In other words, in Europe, robot inventors raise no interesting new issue. It continues to fascinate me, how the USA can simply ignore: 1. The EPC emerged from intensive work of experts from England (common law) and Germany (with the same patent law as Japan and China). 2. Thirty years of operation of the EPC has proven that its architecture works just fine, also in England. Why not just sign up to it, like the rest of the world already has? Ploughing your own furrow, on your own separate planet, hurts your industry more than anybody else's.
