In the evolving digital age, data has emerged as the most valuable asset, often referred to as new oil[1]. This transformation has brought with it significant challenge related to data security, privacy, and their intersection with intellectual property rights . As technological innovations continue to expand the scope of data creation ,collection, and sharing, the traditional legal frameworks governing IPR are increasingly being tested .
The research paper explores the complex and dynamic relationship between data protection, privacy and intellectual property rights .It critically examines whether existing IPR laws in India are adequately equipped to address the legal challenges posed by unauthorized data usage, AI generated content and the commoditization of personal information . The research also delves into the implication of recent legal developments such as enactment of digital personal data protection act ,2023 and evaluates its compatibility and potential conflicts with prevailing IPR regimes. This research paper explores the complex relationship between data protection and IPR, evaluates the effectiveness of existing legal instruments, and identifies challenges posed by technological innovation and global data flows. The study concludes with recommendations for modernizing IPR laws and integrating them with robust data privacy standards.
