Text Shot: As the saying goes, “a lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes”. There is a small kernel of truth here, but this is also hugely misleading, proving that misinformation often spreads faster than the truth. The reality is that the US Supreme Court denied certiorari in the case of Thaler v Perlmutter (more on the details of that case later). This doesn’t mean that the SCOTUS ruled on the issue, in fact the decision is quite simply a line in the corresponding docket, which makes most of the reporting inaccurate. Because the Supreme Court declined to intervene, the decision made by the last court to hear the case, in this case the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District Court of Columbia Circuit, becomes the final word for the parties involved. There are generally no further avenues for appeal. Also important for most of the erroneous reporting out there, this decision does not set any precedent, which is a very common misconception.
