Artificial Intelligence and Intellectual Property Rights: Contemporary Challenges, Legal Frameworks, and the Governance Imperative

Author(s) Dr. M.D. Adil

Abstract The unprecedented proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) systems capable of autonomously generating creative works, engineering novel inventions, and processing vast repositories of protected expression has precipitated a systemic crisis of doctrinal adequacy within the global intellectual property (IP) regime. This paper undertakes a comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis of the emergent tensions between AI-driven technological innovation and the foundational legal frameworks governing copyright, patents, trade secrets, and data rights. Drawing upon doctrinal jurisprudence, comparative regulatory analysis, and institutional theory, the paper identifies three structurally critical challenges: the authorship and inventorship indeterminacy of AI-generated outputs; the legality of large-scale copyrighted data ingestion for machine learning; and the regulatory fragmentation across jurisdictions. It further examines contemporary judicial developments across the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, and India, and advances a tripartite policy framework for IP reform responsive to the AI governance imperative. The paper argues that existing IP doctrines, conceived in an era of exclusively human creativity, are constitutionally and normatively inadequate to address the AI challenge and require systematic legislative recalibration.
