Van Loon and Michelle E. Armond\n<\/p>\n<p>Artificial intelligence dominated this year&#8217;s International Trademark Association annual meeting in London, where roughly 10,000 intellectual property attorneys gathered to discuss cross-border disputes, the European Unified Patent Court and the widening divide among countries over AI-generated works. <\/p>\n<p>For copyright and trademark litigator Erica J. Van Loon and patent litigator Michelle E. Armond of Armond Wilson LLP, the conference underscored how quickly the global IP landscape is changing. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In a word: AI,&#8221; Van Loon said. &#8220;It eclipsed all other IP trends and discussions. What&#8217;s fascinating is how different jurisdictions are handling it. The U.S. requires human authorship for copyright protection, but that&#8217;s not the case everywhere.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Van Loon said attorneys from other countries described more flexible approaches to AI-generated content, highlighting the growing challenges companies face in protecting intellectual property across multiple jurisdictions. <\/p>\n<p>The Unified Patent Court also remained a major focus. Two years after launching, the court is reshaping patent litigation in Europe and influencing disputes worldwide. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Two years in, the UPC has dramatically changed patent litigation in Europe and beyond,&#8221; Armond said. &#8220;Simultaneously, China is making a play to become a dominant venue for resolving worldwide IP disputes.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Armond said recent clashes between Chinese and U.K. courts over standard-essential patents reflect China&#8217;s broader shift from a manufacturing economy toward an innovation-driven one. <\/p>\n<p>Privacy law concerns also surfaced repeatedly at the conference, particularly stricter European Union and U.K. rules governing data privacy and discovery. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Comparing notes with foreign litigators on how they conduct discovery under those restrictions is illuminating,&#8221; Van Loon said. &#8220;It&#8217;s nothing like U.S. practice.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>INTA rotates internationally every few years, with this year&#8217;s London conference&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyjournal.com\/articles\/391453-ai-dominates-global-ip-debate-at-inta-conference-in-london\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI dominates global IP debate at INTA conference in London https:\/\/www.dailyjournal.com\/articles\/391453-ai-dominates-global-ip-debate-at-inta-conference-in-london Publish Date: 2026-05-18 16:46:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":248785,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/dailyjournal-prod\/articles\/images\/000\/391\/453\/medium\/INTALONDON_Erica_J._Van_Loon_and_Michelle_E._Armond.jpg?1778886539","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-248783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248783"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=248783"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248783\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":248787,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248783\/revisions\/248787"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/248785"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=248783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=248783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=248783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
