Mark Wilden writes for COUNSEL magazine on online copyright protection
21st February 2024
3PB Barristers' (3 Paper Buildings) specialist intellectual property barrister Mark Wilden (pictured here) has written for COUNSEL magazine on the application of copyright law to digital assets.
By calling on recent cases including Wright v BTC Core, THJ Systems v Sheridan and Getty Images v Stability AI, Mark discusses what is traditionally required of a work to be protectable by copyright and how these guidelines become harder to define when works are ‘created’ by computer rather than humans. Mark also explores the variance in international copyright law and how different jurisdictions continue to disagree on whether computer-generated works are subject to copyright protection.
