Battle over content creation rights related to AI

Discussions on intellectual property protection in the field of artificial intelligence have become an inescapable topic across industries both at home and abroad. This not only reflects that the technological revolution is continuing globally, but also that the relevant challenges are intensifying.

In China, many Chinese government departments, judicial authorities and enterprises held seminars and forums on AI-related IP protection over the past few days to mark the World Intellectual Property Day, which falls on Saturday this year.

In a recent exclusive interview with China Daily, for instance, Shen Changyu, commissioner of the China National Intellectual Property Administration, emphasized the importance of protecting IP rights in the AI field, revealing that the administration is ramping up efforts to give Chinese companies a competitive edge by issuing a guideline aimed at optimizing the AI-related invention patent application system and IP protection.
