2. IP Rights infringements
AI systems such as Large Language Models and Generative AI often require data sources for their training and deployment.
Unlike other international intellectual property law regimes, the EU legal frameworks do not provide a per se ‘fair use’ exemption and developers of AI systems run the risk of IP infringements in the European Union.
We work with technology firms & AI developers to navigate IPR infringement risks by:
- analyzing the AI training set-up
- identifying possible risks of IP infringements
- advising of how to develop AI system without IP infringements
Contact us today and schedule an initial consultation to discuss your EU IP / AI matter.
3. AI & EU Competition Law infringements
The European Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) outlines in Art.101 & 102 the EU competition law regime, prohibiting collusion between competitors and the abuse of a dominant position respectively.
AI applications may be at risk of infringing both EU and Member State competition rules, in example by:
- AI driven collusion
- Algorithmic price discrimination
- and others
Together with your engineering department we audit your AI applications to steer clear of possible EU competition / antitrust violation.
Contact us today and schedule an initial consultation to discuss your AI or technology related EU Competition law matter.
