Introduction
Artificial Intelligence has been growing and increasing at the fast pace in the country. It has made huge changes in the development of the country in terms of technology and business. Since the advent of the artificial intelligence, the industries have been growing on a greater level. Due to artificial intelligence, there is lot of data for training the employees and maintaining the data for various trainings.

This availability of technology on the greater pace has helped to fuel the artificial intelligence's growth and has made the tasks easier. Over the period no field has remained untouched by it and Intellectual Property rights is no exception to it. The invention of anything, including technology has always been proven as the asset or threat to the country [1]

As the technology, is being used in Intellectual Property Rights, it will be both asset to it, in terms of patents and its search tools, perfection and research in time and helps to create the mechanisms to solve the problems but also, proves to be the threat to the heart and soul of the Intellectual Property Rights and its creation. Over the period, we got to know that Artificial Intelligence is not only used for the research work or examination but has also, been used in the administration and conduction of the copyrights and patents.

What are Intellectual Property Rights?

Intellectual Property Rights refers to the creations, made by the mind such as the artistry, graphics, designs, inventions with names and their images. The Intellectual Property Rights are being protected by law such as copyrights, patents and trademarks. This is done so that the people could earn the identification or benefit in terms of finance by inventing or creating with the names or images.

The Intellectual Property Rights are beneficial when the right to equality is maintained between the people involved with innovations or having the great public interests and the Intellectual Property system, helps to enhance the environment where the creation and innovation can bloom. [2]

Types of Intellectual Property Rights:

There are three types of Intellectual Property Rights:

  • Patents: This is the exclusive right given for the invention and new development of things and helps the owner of the invention decide how and where the invention can be used by other people. In return for this, the patent owner makes the information available to the public in the full proof published patent document. A patent is an exclusive right granted to manufacture the article for a limited period of time, such as 20 years from the date of filing the application process. In India, the patent law is mentioned in The Patents Act, 1970.
  • Copyright: It is a legal term used to navigate the rights conferred on creators over their creations and literary and artistic works. The work is filled with the copyright act of books, music, and films to help computer databases and various advertisements in the drawings. Copyright is used to protect two types of rights of the authors: economic rights and moral rights. Economic rights refer to the prohibition of use of the author's work by others for financial benefit. Moral rights refer to the non-economic benefits such as the right of ownership, etc., attained from the work done. In India, the Copyright Act, 1957 is the legislation for protecting the copyright of the work.
  • Trademarks and Service Marks: The trademark is the sign used to differentiate between goods or services of one industry or enterprise from another. They have been used since ancient times, and various artisans have put their signature or one stamp or mark on their products. Trademarks in connection with services such as tourism, banking, etc., are called service marks. The owner has the exclusive right to use the trademark.

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence is the technology developed by the scientists which helps in interpreting the signals of the data which has been programmed and is responding towards the desired output and helps in carrying out the various functions along with the leaning and information needed. In this, humans are not required to interfere as they can take the decisions themselves and are the backbone of the technology.

There are three types of Artificial Intelligence:
  1. Narrow AI: This term states that it functions the basic tasks of carrying out the purpose of fulfilling specific goals and is designed to perform one task at a time. Narrow AI is a machine used in day-to-day lives of people and is even now being used by modern families. It helps in moving forward.
     
  2. General AI: This term states where we are going and is aimed to be implemented in the near future. It helps to solve human problems and aids them in acquiring the skills required to achieve desired tasks. However, it lacks the advanced skill sets needed to solve complex algorithms.
     
  3. Super AI: It is a stronger element and is used to help researchers and enhance human abilities to achieve significant advancements where robots can assist humans. In many countries, it is already in use and is widely utilized.

Why is AI used in The Intellectual Property Rights?

With the new advent of technology, the world is moving faster, and the artificial intelligence is gaining new heights.

With the advent of AI, the demand for the patents, trademarks and copyrights was becoming very difficult but the blockchain ensures the various challenges faced by the Intellectual Property Rights.

Blockchain contains the set of blocks and chains, in which every block has the certain piece of information, and it has to be verified and obtained only by the consent of the authorized party. AI in Intellectual Property Rights has helped to perform many functions such as the record keeping, data collection and maintenance, suppliers, distributors or recognizing the patents or copyrights. [5]

Various challenges faced by AI in the Intellectual Property sector
AI handling the big data collection, couldn't prove to be effective as it couldn't manage the large amount of data and couldn't be cross checked well. When there is technical issues in AI it creates a lot of questions related to the contracts and authority of the issues. The issues in contracts are being used when the functions of the human brain are implemented and are used in the central processing units. In collaborative model, many AI developers face the issues regarding the training data and has obtained great solutions over the licensing system.

In terms of customer data, the seller helps to provide the data needed for training or authorization and helps to adapt the customers business. The problems start to increase when there is an intrusion in the cyber security of the customer.

Over, 20195 applications have been filed so far. If India has to follow the patenting AI-backed technology, it has to follow the guidelines related to the inventions of the computer. [6]

With the advent of technology, it has helped to enhance the working of the Intellectual property rights and has helped in providing the advance solutions to the problems raised.
