Artificial Intelligence and Intellectual Property

An important and multi-faceted contribution to the debate about how AI fits into existing intellectual property law frameworks and where those frameworks need amendment. * David Llewelyn, Professor of Law (Practice), School of Law, Singapore Management University/Professor of Intellectual Property Law, King's College London *
This is a truly excellent book on AI and law. Beginning with a concise but clear explanation of the programming techniques behind AI systems, the book provides a comprehensive account of the intersection between this new software technology and the intellectual property system. From the many ways AI improves the mechanics of IP-related government administration, to legal handling of the copying of data required for much AI to work, to profound questions such as human-assisted creativity and machine generation of IP-covered works, the outstanding cast of editors and contributors cover all the crucial issues. Here is the single essential volume to appear so far in this important new field of study. * Robert P. Merges, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati Professor of Law and Technology, University of California, Berkeley, School of Law *
With the continuous evolution of technology and the social environment surrounding AI and intellectual property, it is necessary to build methodologies that can be applied not only to existing issues but also to future ones, the concrete shape of which we cannot yet know. This book presents such a methodology. It provides diverse analyses of technology, law, and economics, as well as governance and problem solving. Through an examination of contemporary approaches in different countries, this ambitious book aims to construct legislative and policy theories, as well as a methodological template for future research. * Yoshiyuki Tamura, Professor of Law, The University of Tokyo *
This book offers comprehensive insights into IP-related issues that arise in the context of AI. It provides a hands-on guide by an international team of contributors and is highly recommended. * Wolfgang Zankl, Professor of Law, University of Vienna/Head of the European Center for E-Commerce and Internet Law *
The book is the result of cooperative work between Asian and European academic institutions,...the reader is invited to reflect on the rationale of the repercussions of AI, including AI's social impacts and its impacts on investments. * Elisabeth Kasznar Fekete, Trademark Reporter *
