Legal Implications of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Algorithms in Intellectual Property Protection: A Comparative Analysis
Abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies across industries has accelerated transformative changes, particularly within the intellectual property (IP) landscape. This research examines the impact of AI and ML on intellectual property (IP) law, focusing on patent and copyright law. It identifies a need to explore legal frameworks in response to technological advancements further. The study includes a thorough literature review, a comparative analysis of international legal frameworks, and an in-depth review of case law and treaties. It explores questions of ownership in AI and ML-generated inventions in patent law and issues of authorship and fair use in copyright law. The findings are expected to significantly contribute to the discussion of AI, ML, and intellectual property law.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
