On September 2, the media briefing for the upcoming 15th China Intellectual Property Annual Conference unveiled that the event will center around two pivotal themes: artificial intelligence (AI) and intellectual property (IP). From a legal standpoint, the conference will offer an in-depth exploration of AI intellectual property governance. It will address key issues such as copyright concerns arising from training data for large-scale models, copyright ownership of content generated by AI-generated content (AIGC), allocation of infringement liability in scenarios involving human-machine collaboration, and the practical use of AI tools in patent searches and trademark monitoring.

Furthermore, the conference will scrutinize the evolving trends in IP regulations within the AI era, examining them from judicial, administrative, and industrial perspectives. On the technological front, the focus will shift to AI-native technologies and their innovative paradigms, embodied intelligence and its impact on industrial transformation, as well as the ways in which AI is revolutionizing corporate organization and production methods.

During the conference, the Intellectual Property Center of the Artificial Intelligence Industry Working Committee, the Electronic Intellectual Property Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and representatives from companies specializing in embodied intelligence will convene. Their objective is to explore strategies for AI to transcend the digital realm and permeate the physical world, thereby spearheading industrial transformation through technological advancements.
