Understanding IP and the impact of AI

Patent authorities globally are grappling with the challenge of redefining their approach to handling inventions generated not by human ingenuity but by AI. It has sparked considerable debate within the intellectual property community. This analysis initiates a three-part series that delves into the influence of AI on intellectual property rights.


AI-generated content and copyright

In essence, IP encompasses a range of rights aimed at protecting human innovation and creativity. These rights include patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. They serve as incentives for people and organisations to invest their time, resources, and intelligence in developing new ideas and inventions. Current intellectual property rules and laws focus on safeguarding the products of human intellectual effort.

In a recent case, US District Judge Beryl Howell ruled that art generated solely by AI cannot be granted copyright protection. This ruling underscores the need for human authorship to qualify for copyright. The case stemmed from Stephen Thaler’s attempt to secure copyright protection for AI-generated artworks. Thaler, the Chief Engineer at Imagination Engines, has been striving for legal recognition of AI-generated creations since 2018. Furthermore, the US Copyright Office has initiated a formal inquiry, called a notice of inquiry (NOI), to address copyright issues related to AI. The NOI aims to examine various aspects of copyright law and policy concerning AI technology.
