Just as it is folly to anthropomorphize computers and robots, it is also unhelpful to discuss the implications of generative AI in copyright law by analogizing machines to authors.[1] In 2019, I explored the idea that “machine learning” could be analogous to human reading if the human happens to have an eidetic memory. But this […] The post Let’s Stop Analogizing Human Creators to Machines appeared first on The Illusion of More.

Why register your trademark in a foreign country? While I’ve discussed how to file foreign trademark applications , let’s dig into the why question. IP rights are territorial. That means a US trademark registration does not provide the trademark owner with rights outside the United States.

A Board of Appeal decision published today ( T 2432/19 ) directly contradicts the previous decisions implementing G1/21. The Board of Appeal in T 2432/19 applies the clear direction from G1/21 that in-person proceedings should be the default in view of the inadequacies of current ViCo technology. In doing so, the Board of Appeal places itself in direct opposition to previous Boards of Appeal decisions having a more "dynamic" interpretation of G1/21.
