ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND COPYRIGHT LAW: NAVIGATING THE INTERSECTION OF INNOVATION AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN THE DIGITAL AGE Suryansh Mishra, Symbiosis Law School, Nagpur Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2025.v03.56 Issues protecting intellectual property have not been more challenging than when it comes to copyright law and artificial intelligence. The current trend in the use of artificial intelligence has caused unprecedented concerns in the copyright legislative sector. The mixed-method research approach applied in this paper implies the combination of doctrinal legal analysis and empirical investigation of the recent trends in litigation and regulating changes. This paper seeks to discover the current legal context surrounding the creation of AI-generated work through systemic examination of court submissions, regulatory papers, and industry briefings and provides a framework to which the fundamental questions of copyrightability, fair use and infringement of machine learning training data revolve around. Based on an examination of current legal proceedings, regulatory trends, and new jurisprudential components, the author discusses the ways in which old paradigms of copyright are changing to meet the unprecedented challenges that AI systems potentially offer in terms of creation, editing, and dissemination of content in massive quantities. Such a complex legal environment is identified to exist, as revealed in the research, where courts are taking a swing at core issues surrounding authorship, originality, among other outstanding issues touching on the free use of AI training. The category of research methodologies to be undertaken involves the analysis of more than 150 cases currently in litigation in a variety of jurisdictions and examination of regulatory frameworks in the United States, European Union, and other key jurisdictions, as well as the assessment of industry practices and technological solutions to the problem. The analysis will give an idea about the emerging trends in legal standards, possible ways of solving the issue, and the consequences of creators, technology companies, and people working in the law profession who operate in this changing environment.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THEFT- A NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY THEFT- A NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE Panya Sethi, Student, Symbiosis Law School, Noida Download Manuscript ABSTRACT Theft of intellectual property refers to the unlawful taking of any creative work, concept, trade secret, or sensitive information that is protected by intellectual property laws. Theft of intellectual property (IP) covers a broad spectrum of wrongdoing, from trademark and copyright violations to patent infringement.[1] Intellectual property theft may be devastating to individuals, companies, and governments that have spent years perfecting their work. Theft of intellectual property severely slows economic growth and innovation. The rapid expansion of digital infrastructure and resources has, unfortunately, made it simpler for cybercriminals to steal, copy, and distribute valuable intellectual property. The stakes are higher, and the demand for strict protection and enforcement of intellectual property is expanding as a result. Because the rightful owner of an IPR is able to prevent others from making use of the protected material, such rights are often referred to as “negative rights.” When a party other than the IPR owner or a person authorized by the IPR owner to use the right (a licensee) acts in a way that is inconsistent with the IPR, this is known as an infringement. Intellectual property infringement comes in many forms, and it’s important for lawyers, company owners, and shareholders to understand each one and how they may be prevented. Having a patent on an invention gives the creator the right to prevent others from profiting from their creation without permission. Copyright laws and trademark laws both aim to safeguard creative works against imitation. Protected works can always sue to prohibit others from copying or adapting them without permission. By definition, the holder of an IPR can forbid anybody else from profiting from the protected work without first obtaining the IPR holder’s consent.
