Safeguarding Intellectual Property in the Digital Age through Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

The landscape of Intellectual Property is facing various challenges with the onset of rapid digitalization. The current
Intellectual Property (henceforth ‘IP’ in short) protection is dependent on the traditional law for enforcement and
implementation of the Intellectual Property Rights (henceforth ‘IPR’ in short) Holder’s rights, but the significant technological advancements and threats from cyberspace are highlighting threats and challenges towards IP protection, leading IP experts to delve into the ramifications of Artificial Intelligence (henceforth ‘AI’ in short) assisted problemsolving for IP related issues in cyberspace. Whereas the world is looking at a cohesive effort to ideally eradicate the issues that lead to cybersecurity breaches, a comprehensive and sustained effort towards addressing IP-relate cyber threats is also being explored. At present, there are no tangent solutions for this. The authors attempt to address the potential of AI-assisted solutions to target IP infringements in cyberspace. By responsibly leveraging AI capabilities, we can fortify IP protection in the digital era and foster innovation and creation in a cyber-secure environment.
