It is reported that China’s Supreme People’s Court (SPC) has initiated the drafting of judicial guidelines to address disputes related to AI as part of its efforts to enhance intellectual property rights (IPR) protection in high-tech sectors. During a recent press conference, the SPC reported an increase in civil cases involving AI-generated content and model parameters, with 908 cases concerning data ownership and transactions concluded in 2025, reflecting a 25.6 percent rise from the previous year. The SPC aims to clarify legal frameworks to balance data rights protection with development, as highlighted by officials who noted the importance of safeguarding the rights of data resource holders while promoting economic integration. Analysts emphasize that robust IPR protection is crucial for fostering technological innovation, particularly in competitive industries, and the SPC’s actions are aligned with national goals to strengthen IPR systems in emerging fields as outlined in the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30).
