Delhi High Court Halts Kengic's Patent Infringement, Amazon Penalized

Recent developments in intellectual property law highlight ongoing challenges with trademark and copyright issues, particularly in the context of AI-generated content. The Delhi High Court has set significant precedents by penalizing Amazon ₹340 crore for trademark infringement related to the 'Beverly Hills Polo Club' logo and granting an injunction against the 'Bharat Gate' trademark due to confusion with 'India Gate.' Meanwhile, OpenAI's new AI image generator, capable of creating Studio Ghibli-style images, has sparked controversy over copyright infringements, with critics arguing it appropriates artistic styles without proper licensing. This situation emphasizes the need for clearer intellectual property protections for artistic styles, as many artists feel unprotected in the face of AI advancements. Proposals for a royalty attribution mechanism have been suggested to ensure that original creators receive compensation when their styles are used in generated content. As the legal landscape evolves, these cases underscore the importance of adapting IP laws to keep pace with technological advancements.
