All our practitioners focus on particular technologies or IP disciplines to provide you with a winning combination of technical knowledge, business acumen and a sound appreciation of the workings of the law. And as new technology breaks down national boundaries, IP becomes a global issue, so an international approach is vital. We have many years’ experience of handling overseas work, and maintain a strong working relationship with a network of close associate firms worldwide. In 2020, two of our leading experts in AI, Virginia Driver and Tom Woodhouse, contributed to the intellectual property chapter of The Law of Artificial Intelligence, published by Sweet and Maxwell. The chapter on IP covers: - patentability of AI, AI-devised or AI-assisted inventions; - inventiveness in using AI; - copyright and weaknesses in protection; - data and database rights; - design rights – registered and unregistered; and - trade marks.
