In the age of artificial intelligence (AI)
where it continues to advance, the potential for intellectual property rights
(IPR) breaches becomes increasingly concerning. The use of AI in various
industries has led to the creation of new products and services, but it has
also raised questions about how to protect IPR against potential breaches.
Therefore, diction makers should think how regulations can be used to protect
IPR against AI potential breaches.

The first step in protecting IPR against AI
potential breaches is to understand the different types of IPR that exist.
There are four main types of IPR: patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade
secrets. Each type of IPR has its own set of regulations that govern how it can
be protected.
PatentsPatents are used to protect inventions or
discoveries that are new and non-obvious. To obtain a patent, an inventor must
file a patent application with the appropriate government agency. Once granted,
a patent gives the inventor exclusive rights to make, use, and sell their
invention for a certain period of time.
Trademarks
Trademarks are used to protect brand names
and logos. A trademark gives the owner exclusive rights to use their mark in
connection with their goods or services.
Copyrights
Copyrights are used to protect original
works of authorship such as books, music, and software. Copyright protection
gives the owner exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute their work.
Trade secrets
Trade secrets are confidential information
that is not generally known or readily ascertainable by others. Trade secret
protection does not require registration with any government agency but instead
relies on maintaining secrecy.
Regulations
Regulations is the way that can be used to
protect IPR against AI potential breaches. There are many legislations that
govern different type of IPR and many strategies to handle the new issues that
created because of the new AI revolution.
Data protection laws
One way regulations can be used to protect
IPR against AI potential breaches is through data protection laws which is the
Jordanian Parliament aiming to enact in the near future.
Data protection laws regulate how personal
data is collected, processed, and stored by organizations. These laws help
ensure that personal data is not misused or stolen by unauthorized parties,
including AI systems. Another way regulations can be used to protect IPR
against AI potential breaches is through patent laws. Patent laws can be
updated to include specific provisions for AI inventions.
For example, the European Patent Office
recently issued guidelines on how to examine patent applications that involve
AI. These guidelines help ensure that AI inventions are properly examined and
granted patents if they meet the necessary requirements. Hence it is adequate
to update the patent regulation in Jordan to handle the new technologies.
Specific provisions for AI-generated
trademarks
Moreover, Trademark laws can also be
updated to include specific provisions for AI-generated trademarks. For example,
the US Patent and Trademark Office recently issued guidance on how to examine
trademark applications that involve AI-generated marks.
This guidance helps ensure that
AI-generated trademarks are properly examined and granted protection if they meet
the necessary requirements, so law No. 33 of the year 1952 regulation should be
reviewed and amended where it required.
As for Copyright laws, it can also be
updated to include specific provisions for works created by AI systems. For
example, the UK Intellectual Property Office recently issued guidance on how
copyright law applies to works created by AI systems. This guidance helps
ensure that works created by AI systems are properly protected under copyright
law, thus the Jordanian Copyright law may be revised to be able to deal with
new revolution.
Access controls and encryptions
In addition, Trade Secret Laws can be
updated to include specific provisions for protecting trade secrets from
unauthorized access by AI systems. For example, companies can implement access
controls and encryption measures to protect their trade secrets from
unauthorized access by AI systems.
In the era of artificial intelligence (AI)
protecting IPR should be a priority and what methods could be applied to
protect intellectual properties against potential infringement relaying on the
ease created by AI.
First and for the utmost Implement Digital
Rights Management (DRM) technology DRM technology is a set of tools and
techniques used to protect digital content from unauthorized access and
distribution. It can be used to encrypt content, control access to it, and
prevent unauthorized copying or sharing.
Here are various protection methods
DRM technology can also be used to track
the usage of digital content and identify any unauthorized use.
Secondly, one effective method to safeguard
intellectual property rights (IPR) is through the use of watermarking
techniques. Watermarking involves embedding a unique identifier into digital
content, enabling its origin to be traced. By employing this technique, any
unauthorized use of the content can be identified, aiding in legal proceedings
against infringers.
Thirdly, it is essential to actively
monitor online platforms, particularly AI-powered platforms such as social
media networks and search engines. These platforms have become popular channels
for the distribution of digital content. Regular monitoring is crucial to
detect and address any infringements on IPR. Tools powered by AI, such as web
crawlers, can be utilized for this purpose.
Fourthly, registering your IPR with
relevant authorities, such as patent offices or copyright offices, is of utmost
importance. This step provides legal protection against infringement and helps
establish ownership in case of disputes.
Last but certainly not least, employing
AI-powered tools for monitoring purposes is highly recommended. These tools,
including image recognition software and natural language processing
algorithms, are valuable resources for scrutinizing online platforms and
identifying unauthorized use of digital content. Taking swift and appropriate
action against infringers becomes feasible with the aid of such tools.
In conclusion, regulations hold a pivotal
role in safeguarding IPR against potential breaches by AI systems. By updating
existing regulations or creating new ones tailored specifically to protect IPR
from AI-related breaches, we can ensure that innovators and creators can
continue developing new products and services without fear of theft or misuse.
Additionally, protecting IPR from AI requires a comprehensive approach that
encompasses technological measures, legal protections, and employee education.
Implementing these measures will effectively deter IPR infringement and
safeguard the interests of content creators and owners.
