What’s in store for IP in 2023? AI will continue to feature prominently. Tribunals have settled questions of inventorship and authorship. IP will remain a human-centric regime for now. The next phase of litigation will focus on questions of infringement, fair use, and damages.

Matthew Butterick’s class action lawsuit against Microsoft, GitHub, OpenAI, and other companies involved in designing Copilot opens the next salvo. Software developers, artists, writers, and privacy activists have complained tech companies training AI systems use data that does not belong to them and do not provide compensation.

The Supreme Court’s decision on Artist Andy Warhol’s use of Lynn Goldsmith’s Prince photograph may well influence the contours of when training and output of an AI model are infringing in Butternick’s case. Moreover, its views on the extraterritorial reach of trademark rights may also affect how courts construe damages in AI cases. Watch this space.
