Abstract:
Patents play a central role, providing inventors with exclusive rights, encouraging investment in research and development and ensuring a competitive advantage in the market. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has intensified these challenges and opportunities, raising questions about the legal status of AI-generated creations and redefining the human role in the creative process. International organizations such as WIPO and national institutions such as AGEPI contribute to adapting intellectual property protection systems to new technological realities. In addition to the benefits it offers, Artificial Intelligence also brings significant risks, such as cyberattacks on unpublished documentation or the difficulty of preventing algorithmic counterfeiting. In addition, the current patent system is challenged to redefine its fundamental concepts, such as the notion of "inventor" or the criteria of "novelty" and "inventive activity", in order to integrate inventions made by Artificial Intelligence. It remains essential that these systems become more resilient and adaptable, preserving their function of legal protection and stimulating progress in an era dominated by emerging technologies.
