Abstract

Innovation today is taking place in a technological world and Intellectual Property Rights are essential to protect it. Artificial and digital platforms, as well as blockchain, have challenged the existing framework of IPR from a traditional standpoint to adapt. This paper examines the effect of technology on IPR, particularly in the context of India’s legal framework, enforcement challenges and policy recommendations. It aims to analyse the emerging concerns related to relevant IPR, assess the existing laws, identify the enforcement gaps, and suggest the mitigation measures to achieve an effective protection. The study also elaborates on the global implications of digital IPR issues and the significance of harmonizing laws in different jurisdictions. To achieve this balance between innovation and intellectual property protection in the increasingly digital landscape, issues related to strengthening IPR governance, ethical concerns with machines that produce IPR works, and adapting legal frameworks will be critical.
