NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies continue to evolve and drive innovation across industries, economies, and the law itself, a new book from PLI Press explores how AI is challenging and redefining traditional intellectual property (IP) frameworks.
Artificial Intelligence & Intellectual Property, a comprehensive book authored by experienced IP, technology, and media attorneys Charley F. Brown and Lynn B. Oberlander and a team of expert contributors, provides an accessible guide to navigating the complex legal, ethical, and practical issues at the intersection of AI and IP. Covering copyright, patents, trade secrets, trademarks, data rights, publicity rights, liability, and ethical considerations, the book blends forward-looking analysis with practical insights.
Artificial Intelligence & Intellectual Property is an invaluable resource for many audiences, including IP attorneys, in-house counsel, innovators and leaders in AI-driven industries, policymakers, regulators, academics, researchers, and law students in IP and technology law. The authors explore the questions of liability for AI-driven decisions, the intersection of ethics and innovation, and the broader policy implications as governments and legal systems adapt to new technological realities. It addresses some of the most pressing questions emerging from the rapid growth of AI, including whether AI-generated works qualify for copyright protection, whether an algorithm can be considered an “inventor” under patent law, and how to safeguard massive datasets used in training AI systems.
“Our goal is to deliver holistic, multi-disciplinary coverage of AI’s impact across the entire IP spectrum. In an unsettled and fast-moving legal landscape, we want to provide practical, real-world solutions,” said Oberlander. “Stand-alone chapters allow for quick reference and deep dives into issues of the reader’s choice, so the book can be a useful resource, whether you are a general practitioner or are interested in one specialized area of IP.”
“Practitioners will gain the tools to anticipate and mitigate AI-related risks, while businesses and in-house counsel will find strategies to make informed, forward-looking decisions,” Brown said. “By offering organized, topic-by-topic coverage and explanations, readers will save time while navigating the new frontier of intellectual property in the age of artificial intelligence.”
