In the United State, the individual or corporation owns the invention. In the Soviet Union the state automatically owned the invention. That clause is what ensures private ownership.

The clause is what ensures profits from market sales or licensing of ideas go to the creator.

Removing (or ignoring in the case of AI companies) that clause in the US Constitution is what abolishes private ownership.

I have private ownership over many things that I've bought which are not inventions and are not infringing copyrights.
