Euractiv reports on July 23, 2025, that the European Commission faces legal action over its decision to withdraw proposed regulations on AI liability and patent laws. The lawsuit challenges the Commission’s retreat from establishing clear liability rules for AI systems and protections for AI-generated inventions.

The controversy underscores tensions between fostering innovation and ensuring legal certainty in AI governance. Stakeholders demand transparent, balanced frameworks that address accountability and intellectual property rights. The litigation may impact the EU’s broader digital strategy and regulatory approach to AI. The debate over the patentability of AI-generated inventions remains a contentious issue, with significant implications for developers and users.
