Abstract:

The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on intellectual property rights (IPRs) has emerged as a significant concern in the legal landscape. This abstract explores the legal perspective on the interplay between AI and IPRs, specifically focusing on patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. AI’s ability to create innovations, generate artistic works, assist in branding, and enforce IPRs raises complex questions of ownership, infringement, and protection. The abstract highlights the challenges in determining patent eligibility and inventorship for AI-generated inventions, the implications of AI in copyright ownership and infringement, and the adaptation of trademark law to AI-driven branding. Moreover, it delves into the dual role of AI in exploiting and protecting trade secrets, along with the AI-powered tools used for IPR enforcement. Finding the right balance between incentivizing AI innovation and safeguarding creators’ rights will be crucial for building a robust framework to address the ever-evolving relationship between AI and IPRs. This article explores the legal approach to Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and their profound impact on innovation, creativity, and economic growth. IPRs, including patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, play a pivotal role in encouraging individuals and businesses to invest in research and development, resulting in technological advancements and a competitive market. By providing temporary monopolies to innovators, IPRs create incentives for the generation of new ideas and protect the rights of creators, fostering a vibrant ecosystem for creativity and invention. Moreover, strong IPR protection attracts foreign investment, enhances technology transfer, and stimulates economic growth. However, the article also addresses the challenges of striking a balance between the interests of innovators and broader society, ensuring accessibility to knowledge and promoting fair competition. Through a comprehensive examination of the economic aspect of IPRs, this article sheds light on their critical role in shaping modern economies and promoting a culture of innovation.
