With the development of artificial intelligence technologies, a new one is being added every day to artificial intelligence systems that can produce original products and services in many human-dominated fields at a level exceeding the designer. As a result of the fact that artificial intelligence systems are not legally recognised as persons and the resulting products and services cannot be directly linked to the system owners, intellectual property law has become one of the first areas of law that has to face the problem of ownerless rights. In our study, the patent applications, which are claimed to be the output of DABUS, an artificial intelligence system, and therefore DABUS is labelled as the "inventor", and the discussions and approaches of the relevant countries to the problem regarding these applications are examined. Afterwards, the discussions on the legal nature of artificial intelligence systems, which are rapidly increasing in terms of impact and scope in the international arena, are analysed from the perspective of intellectual property law within the framework of "inventive artificial intelligence". These discussions, which show that the process of legalisation of technology should be accelerated to eliminate uncertainties not only in terms of intellectual property law, but also in all field where artificial intelligence systems are effective, should be considered as an opportunity for the development of both law and technology.
