Katfriends Adrian Aronsson-Storrier and Oliver Fairhurst from Lewis Silkin report on recent litigation in the UK against the developers of AI generation software. This litigation has arisen amongst a flurry of recent interest in AI generated works.
In just the past year the IPKat has hosted a number contributions on IP and AI generated creations/inventions, including book reviews, a report on the US Copyright Office decision to reject protection for an artwork created by a machine, analysis of the UK IPO consultation on AI and IP, and updates on Dr Thaler’s attempt to name the DABUS algorithm as an inventor on a patent application (with the next thrilling instalment in the DABUS saga due before the UK Supreme Court in March).
