ABSTRACT
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into various domains has led to significant advancements, particularly in the realm of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). However, the increasing role of AI in generating creative and innovative works raises complex legal challenges regarding authorship, ownership, and protection under existing IP laws. Traditional frameworks primarily recognize human authorship, creating ambiguity in determining the legal rights associated with AI-generated content. Furthermore, the intersection of AI and patents presents concerns regarding the patentability of AI-created inventions, their compliance with the non-obviousness criterion, and the attribution of inventorship. Copyright and trademark laws are also facing unprecedented challenges, requiring judicial interpretation and potential legislative reforms. This paper examines the evolving jurisprudence of IPR in the AI era, focusing on global perspectives, judicial trends, and policy recommendations. It explores the necessity for adaptive legal frameworks to address AI-related IP disputes, ensuring a balance between technological advancement and legal certainty. As AI continues to shape innovation, a re-evaluation of existing laws is imperative to safeguard intellectual property while fostering innovation in the digital age.
