AnthroPI – AI-Driven Harmonisation of Similarity Assessment under the Intellectual Property Anthropocentric Framework: From Uncertain to Untrue

Buiding upon prior findings from the IPSAM project, this research aims at studying the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies on the central role given to human perception under Intellectual Property (IP) laws anthropocentric framework.   The central research question is whether AI will drive harmonisation of IP similarities, replacing the uncertainty under current case law by machine-made rules that are not faithful to the law, hence untrue. The research focuses on the similarity assessment that must be performed according to EU trademark law, design law, and copyright law (patent law will not be covered). In the frame of this research project, an interdisciplinary team consisting of an IP expert (the Principal Investigator – PI) and a postdoc researches in AI engineering, AI law and Cognitive psychology, will verify empirically whether the development and use of those tools can embed and abide by the judge-made rules for assessing IP similarities. Empirical findings will be collected through four Working Packages (WP) dedicated to the engineering of AI-powered IP similarity assessment tools (WP1), the transparency and explainability of such tools (WP2), the automations biases in their use (WP3), and the challenged they pose to the anthropocentric approach of similarity assessment in IP laws (WP4). Results of this research are expected to fill gaps in the state of the art in an entirely innovative way and to explore new avenues in IP theory and algorithmic regulation.   More info soon.
