Sounds like a bit of a fetish thing. If you say that Dabus was the inventor in a way that confers rights on the machine, then Thaler is taking those rights away and is acting like, well, a slaveholder.

Um, yeah? Can't assign rights to an entity that isn't legally eligible to have those rights.

I hear the same used to be true of various groups of humans in some jurisdictions.
