In this episode, Partner James

Longster and Senior Associate Rosie Westley from our

Technology & Commercial Transactions team discuss how AI interacts with

Intellectual Property laws in the UK. They note two main concerns for

businesses: the extent of IP protection for AI systems and their outputs, and

the risk of existing IP rights holders challenging usage of training data and

outputs. Through these main two concerns, our speakers discuss copyright

ownership in AI-generated outputs; difficulties in establishing creative

originality; patentability of such outputs; and IP infringement risks in using

AI systems.
