Putting things into perspective, Justice Dayal revealed its far-reaching implications. He said: “We may not be able to believe the evidence that is presented to us.”
Addressing the audience, he spoke about abolishing the Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB) and forming the first Intellectual Property Division to deal with intellectual property disputes and bring clarity and efficiency to the intellectual property system, ANI reported.
Justice Dayal also said that the Delhi High Court has recently introduced several sophisticated methods for the IPR legal system, such as hot-tubing, confidentiality club, video conferencing, e-evidence and transcription.
Justice Dayal also highlighted the positive impact, saying, “Our commitment to effective sentencing with a focus on timely dispositions, a total of 1,352 cases out of 1,300 were disposed of in 2023, significantly reducing the backlog.
At the event, John Cabeca, US Intellectual Property (IP) Advisor for South Asia, spoke about artificial intelligence and also emerging technologies. Cabeca said: “What we are going to do about emerging technology and artificial intelligence as they continue to challenge our systems is a recurring theme today. We have had an in-depth dialogue and shared our experiences on many issues, from patent and trademark litigation to intellectual property enforcement, quality audits, and the copyright side and copyright registration, which has laid the foundation for continuous cooperation.”
Cabeca added that AI poses different challenges to the IP ecosystem and governments around the world are prioritizing this technology “to secure our own citizens, our own innovation and not affect our privacy.”
Justice Dayal’s remarks about the challenges of AI are troubling, but they also offer a sense of relief that the justice system is working to deal with cases of new technology, including the threats posed by AI.
