Vagueness in Artificial Intelligence: The 'Fuzzy Logic' of AI-Related Patent Claims, Digital Society 2023, 1 - 25, 02.01.2023 (gemeinsam mit Altair Breckwoldt Jurado). DOI

• Artificial Intelligence is an emerging technology with an average growth rate of 64,70% in patent filings worldwide and 39,71% in Europe between 2015 and 2019, according to Espacenet queries. This trend has raised several concerns regarding the implications for Intellectual Property rights, including disclosure, which is one of the main components justifying the existence of the patent system. Despite its importance, this requirement has been disputed due to certain tendencies that distort the functions that the act of disclosure fulfils, such as promoting innovation, research, or teaching. With Artificial Intelligence-related patents being granted, the disclosure requirement is once again compromised, and perhaps even more due to the particularities that this branch of technology entails. In this sense, one main concern lies in the question of how Artificial Intelligence-related patents should be disclosed, as well as the fulfilment of this requirement. To this aim, two case studies are conducted to show the heterogeneity of compliance with this requirement, focusing on patents filed at the European Patent Office.

Forschungspapiere

Joint Report on the Online Workshop Trade Mark Law and Artificial Intelligence, 2022, 6 S. DOI

• On 22nd October 2021, Prof. Gangjee (University of Oxford), Prof. Senftleben (University of Amsterdam), and Dr. Moerland (University of Maastricht) brought together scholars, policymakers and private stakeholders to discuss the interface between artificial intelligence (AI) and trade marks.
  
  So far, the scholarly debate on how AI influences intellectual property (IP) protection has mainly focused on its effects on patents and copyright. Not much attention has been devoted to the effects of the use of AI technology for trade mark law.
  
  The online discussion aimed at opening the dialogue between trade mark scholars, AI developers and stakeholders. The purpose was two-fold. First, to understand how relevant AI tools process information relevant for brand-based commercial communication, as well as trade mark examination, infringement and enforcement, and what their limitations are. Second, based on that information, discuss the consequences for trade mark law and proposals to regulate AI systems and related data streams, identify areas of attention and suggest possible approaches towards current trade mark law and policy, including related areas, such as advertising rules and transparency obligations.
