Generative AI as a Creativity Tool: (Panel 1) Disruptive Technologies

  • Author/Instructor:  BCLT

Recorded on September 22, 2023 This program does not provide CLE Focus on ways in which societies have adapted to previous disruptive technologies and the prospects of societal adaptations to generative AI technologies -- Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a widely used disruptive technology. It is, however, far from the first technology to disrupt economic and social paradigms. Societies have adapted to such technologies in the past. This half-day conference will consider how society may adapt to generative AI. Our speakers will consider concerns that have been raised about the dangers of AI and copyright implications of generative, but also some benefits that AI can bring about in terms of new products, services, capabilities, and new opportunities for creative expression.

Talk I: Copyright Challenge – A Comparative Law View on Authorship

  • Author/Instructor:  BCLT

Program occured on January 23, 2024 Event Information | Agenda | Resources Presented by Asia IP & Competition Law Center In Nov. 2023, the five-year-old Beijing Internet Court (“BIC”) issued a landmark judgment (Li v. Liu) on the copyright eligibility of an image generated with Stable Diffusion AI, finding the human user that provided elaborate prompts to the machine to be the “author”. This judgment has triggered a flurry of vigorous debates in China, and meanwhile attracted significant international attention. Some commented that this $70 ruling may have far-reaching implications on the evolution of AIGC in China, unleashing a trillion-dollar industry. Some contrasted this judgment with the various rejection decisions issued lately by the US Copyright Office (“USCO”), which found that the human users in the loop do not have sufficient authorial control, despite the hundreds of prompt inputs. The apparent disparity in outcomes however, may have largely shadowed the similarity of a human-centered approach adopted by both institutions facing a common conundrum. With the emergence of powerful Gen-AI tools and their varied synergies with human beings, we now start to witness real-world examples of “authorless works” as coined by Prof. Ginsburg and Luke Budiardjo. While these “works” may not fulfill the conventional authorship requirement, some of them may have remarkable commercial or even arguably artistic values (depending how we interpret “art”). How to properly address this common challenge faced by all jurisdictions, may require us to go beyond the doctrinal level and revisit the justifying principles of copyright law / author’s law, in light of the legal and economic context in the particular jurisdiction. In this inaugural Talk, we invited Profs Guobin Cui and Qian Wang, two renowned copyright law scholars in China, to give us a nuanced account of this case, against the backdrop of how the rapidly evolving copyright law deals with various technological challenges in China. As a comparison, BCLT’s own faculty director Prof. Robert Merges, Co-Director of BAIC, will provide his insight through the lens of US copyright law, as well as the underlying principles of intellectual property.

USPTO’s Battle Against Fraudulent Trademark Filings From China: Origins, Strategies, and Ethics

  • Author/Instructor:  BCLT

In recent years Chinese companies have become major filers of trademarks at the USPTO. The filings have likely been in response to market demands, the growth of e-commerce, and domestic Chinese subsidies. However, the increase has also brought with it numerous unscrupulous actors on both sides of the Pacific. The result has been a surge in fraudulent USPTO trademark filings and disciplinary actions brought by USPTO, as well as cancellation of thousands of trademark applications. The increase in USPTO disciplinary activity has also come at a time that China has been increasingly concerned about misuse of IP filing subsidies and the need to increase its own controls over bad faith filings in China. These developments in Chinese trademark filings at the USPTO may lso reflects the difficulties in establishing and enforcing cross-border disciplinary rules.
