Berrod / Sheyda Navab Intellectualproperty in adata-drivenworld In the lead up to the 2019 meetings of the WIPO Assemblies, WIPODirector General Francis Gurry reflects on the implications of bigdata for intellectual property (IP) policy. “One of thebig questionswe face todayis whetherexisting IPrights providethe incentivesrequired topromoteinnovation inthe digital age.” How is the digital transformation fueled by advancedtechnologies like artificial intelligence (AI) re-shapingthe global IP landscape? Our understanding of the impact of the digital transformation on theglobal IP landscape is very preliminary. However, we can observethat it is fast moving and profound and will have a significant bear-ing on the administration of IP systems and IP policy. Navigatingthe impact on IP administration is relatively straightforward. To alarge extent, it involves evaluating the benefits of applying andusing these technologies to improve the operational efficiency of IPoffices. The harder part is working out how these technologies willaffect IP policy. The IP rights we have today were mainly developedduring the Industrial Revolution in response to mass production.One of the big questions we face today is whether these existingIP rights provide the incentives required to promote innovation inthe digital age. Is the classical IP system still relevant in the new data-driven economy? For the moment, business tells us that the classical IP system is farfrom obsolete. Statistics show unprecedented use of the classicalIP system, with growth rates far outstripping global economicperformance. However, we do have to take note of the fact thatadvanced data-driven digital technology is clearly the dominantforce in economic production and distribution within the digitaleconomy. We also have to ask if the statistics reveal increasinguse in relation to the industrial economy or if they also apply to thedigital economy. How effective the classical IP system will be in ad-dressing all of the issues arising from the data-driven technologiesthat dominate in the digital economy remains unclear. Undoubtedly,these will pose significant challenges for IP policymakers. Is there any evidence that countries are starting to adapttheir innovation policies to the digital economy? Yes. A number of countries have adopted strategies that place AIat the heart of their economic strategy. Advanced digital technol-ogies, including AI, are capable of developing new and beneficialproducts and services through the manipulation of data. Some of them, notably AI, improve their performance when they have access to greater quantities ofdata. At present, there is broad agreement that making data available is a good thing for thedevelopment of
