Legal Aspects of Intellectual Property in the Digital Age

Abstract

Currently the digital era has created new challenges for the legal sector, new inventions are only limited by the imagination of the human being, which has made it necessary to focus attention on the regulations corresponding to intellectual property, being a moment of the history of human civilization where new inventions emerge every day in all fields, it is important to protect all inventions from all possible perspectives, even more so considering that many products today encompass different types of intellectual property. Likewise, the pandemic situation that took place since 2019, opened the conversation about the regu- lation of pharmaceutical patents, a branch that is studied from the legal perspective of intellectual property. It is important to analyze how coarse the legislation is on these issues, since they are used daily in multiple ways such as mobile applications, video games, digital entertainment services, among other products or services, which are a fundamental part of today’s daily life. Finally, it is essential to cover the issue of artificial intelligence, since it is currently controversial in terms of IP, due to its complexity of creation in which multiple subjects interfere.
