Intellectual property management strategies in the AI era

Nikkei Science is releasing a specialized publication focused on intellectual property (IP) management strategies in the era of artificial intelligence. The report examines how generative AI impacts corporate competition, serving as both a tool for efficiency and a challenge to existing copyright frameworks.

Key topics include the evolution of IP protection in the digital age, international standard strategies, and the implementation of 'aggressive' open IP strategies. The publication also explores 'IP landscape' methodologies to solve management issues, the role of IP in M&A and alliances, and how intangible assets influence investment from institutional investors. Case studies from companies such as KDDI and NTT Docomo are included to demonstrate how IP can be transformed into a competitive management strength.
