A Quotidian Revolution? AI and Trade Mark Law

We are delighted to invite you to the next lecture in the MIPLC Lecture Series, which will be given by Professor Dev S. Gangjee. He will speak on
 
“A Quotidian Revolution? AI and Trade Mark Law”.
 
The talk will take place on Tuesday, 20 February 2024 at 06:30 pm (CET) in Room E10 of the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition.
 
Abstract
While algorithms that invent and create have been focusing minds on the patent and copyright implications of AI, the incorporation of machine learning into the everyday practice of trade mark law has been relatively neglected. Developments in image recognition and natural language processing are being used, at scale, by trade mark registries, clearance service providers as well as watching agencies, to assess conflicts between protected signs. More advanced versions of the technology are also being used by internet platforms (such as online marketplaces) and brand protection agencies, to enforce trade marks across the internet. In this lecture, the technology will be outlined while raising for debate some of its legal implications for trade mark doctrine.
