European IP Helpdesk Fact Sheet: Artificial Intelligence and Intellectual Property

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the way research is conducted, innovations are developed, and knowledge is translated into market and societal value. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into research and innovation activities, understanding its interaction with intellectual property (IP) is essential for researchers, innovators, SMEs and knowledge valorisation professionals.

To support this evolving landscape, the European IP Helpdesk has published a new Fact Sheet on Artificial Intelligence and Intellectual Property. The publication provides an overview of the key IP considerations surrounding AI, including the protection of AI technologies, the use of copyrighted material for AI training, the ownership and exploitation of AI-generated outputs, and the evolving EU legal and policy framework.

The fact sheet also offers practical guidance on managing intellectual assets throughout the AI innovation lifecycle, helping organisations maximise the value of research results while navigating the opportunities and challenges presented by generative AI.
