Abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Intellectual Property (IP) management has significantly reshaped the landscape of IP administration in India. With the growing emphasis on innovation and technological advancement, India's IP ecosystem is rapidly adopting AI-driven solutions to streamline processes, enhance accuracy, and reduce human intervention. AI-powered tools for prior art searches, patent classification, and infringement detection have significantly accelerated IP workflows while reducing the backlog of pending applications.
This paper explores the transformative role of AI in IP management in India, focusing on its impact on efficiency, cost reduction, and decision-making. The research highlights how machine learning algorithms and predictive analytics have enabled faster and more accurate patent reviews, benefiting both IP examiners and applicants. By automating repetitive tasks, AI has reduced the administrative burden on India's IP offices, allowing them to focus on more complex and strategic aspects of IP protection.
However, this technological shift is not without its challenges. Issues related to AI-generated IP, ownership rights, and ethical concerns regarding the role of AI as an inventor are still unresolved in India's legal framework. The absence of specific regulations governing AI-generated IP has sparked debate among policymakers, industry stakeholders, and academic researchers. This paper calls for the development of an AI-specific regulatory framework to address these issues while ensuring a balance between innovation and IP protection.
The study concludes that AI is a critical enabler of India's efforts to modernize its IP management system. It underscores the need for capacity building, legal reforms, and cross-border collaboration to establish a standardized approach to AI-driven IP governance. Future research should explore international best practices and assess how India's regulatory framework can be adapted to accommodate AI's role in IP management.
