ABSTRACT
It was over two hundred years ago when the founders provided in the US Constitution that Congress shall have the power, ‘To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries’. During just three decades, the global explosion in Internet usage has enhanced worker productivity and the availability of information to remote and economically disadvantaged global population segments unimagined before. Continued increases in computer processing speeds when combined with decreased production costs has resulted in vast new technological advancements.
Intellectual Property (IP) law, like almost all areas of law, struggles to keep pace with rapidly evolving technologies. Topics unimagined just several decades ago, such as: artificial intelligence (AI); blockchain; non-fungible tokens (NFTs); quantum computing; virtual currencies, and others present novel challenges to IP law. This is the subject matter of our research and this paper. We believe that our coverage of these matters represents a valuable contribution to IP literature.
