Our Approach

AI and Intellectual Property in India: Who Owns the Output?

As AI tools reshape creative and commercial work in India, businesses face critical questions about ownership and protection of AI-generated output. Current Indian law requires human authorship for copyright and does not recognize AI as an inventor for patents — making contractual agreements the most reliable way to secure rights.
