EUIPO publishes report on generative AI and copyright

The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) has published an extensive study on generative AI from a copyright perspective that will be discussed in the European Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee (JURI). The report notes (1) that no single solution has emerged for rights holders to express their reservation rights under the Copyright Directive’s Text and Data Mining exception; (2) the lack of a common standard on how to identify and disclose the nature of synthetic content; (3) while there are a series of ongoing legal disputes in this case, several agreements have been reached between right holders and generative AI developers; and (4) public authorities should support the establishment of reservation rights databases.
