Abstract:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the domains of creativity, innovation, and digital commerce, presenting significant challenges to conventional Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) frameworks. This paper examines the impact of AI-generated works on the Indian legal framework, concentrating on critical components such as copyright, patents, and trademarks. The existing intellectual property rights (IPR) laws in India predominantly rely on human authorship and invention, rendering them inadequate for addressing issues arising from AI systems capable of autonomous creation and innovation, either independently or with assistance.

The research reveals substantial legal and enforcement shortcomings in India's current framework via doctrinal analysis and comparative evaluation of jurisdictions including the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom, augmented by perspectives from international organizations. It illustrates the complexities surrounding authorship, ownership, accountability, and infringement related to AI-generated content. The study examines AI's dual role as both an infringer, by creating content without authorization, and a formidable instrument for safeguarding intellectual property through sophisticated monitoring and enforcement technologies.

India's digital economy is growing quickly, especially in e-commerce and content creation. The current legal system makes it harder to protect trademarks because AI is used to make and manage brands. The article stresses how important it is to make changes that are flexible and open to new ideas, like the possibility of adding sui generis rights for AI-generated works. The study says that India should protect the rights of people who come up with new ideas and make things. It also says that India should support technological progress in the age of AI. For this to happen, the legal system needs to be fair, open, and work with the rest of the world.
