ABSTRACT
The influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on intellectual property rights (IPRs) has become a prominent issue within the legal framework in the modern technological world. The paper will try to examine the legal viewpoint regarding the relationship between AI and IPRs, with a particular emphasis on patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. Furthermore, it will try to investigate the dual function of AI in both exploiting and safeguarding trade secrets, as well as the AI-enhanced tools utilized for IPR enforcement. Achieving an appropriate equilibrium between encouraging AI innovation and protecting the rights of creators will be essential for developing a solid framework to navigate the continuously changing dynamics between AI and IPRs. The paper will try to delve into the legal perspective on Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and their significant influence on innovation, creativity, and economic development. IPRs, which encompass patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, are crucial in motivating individuals and businesses to engage in research and development, leading to technological progress and a competitive marketplace. By granting temporary monopolies to innovators, IPRs incentivize the creation of new ideas and safeguard the rights of creators, nurturing a dynamic environment for creativity and invention. Nevertheless, the article will also tackle the challenges of finding a balance between the interests of innovators and the wider society, ensuring access to knowledge and fostering fair competition.
Keywords – Artificial Intelligence, Intellectual Property Rights, Innovation, Patents, Copyright.
