IViR is pleased to announce that
Prof. Estelle Derclaye
will give a lecture entitled
The UK copyright law’s approach to issues generated by AI
on 6 February 2025
The UK was both preceding (with the introduction of the TDM exception in 2014) the EU and is now lagging behind the EU in its treatment of issues created by the emergence of AI and more specifically GenAI.
This talk will provide an overview of the TDM exception in the UK, the current Getty Images v Stable Diffusion litigation in the High Court and the recent consultation launched by the UK government which aims to broadly follow what the EU has done to resolve the same issues.
Estelle Derclaye is Professor of Intellectual Property Law at the University of Nottingham. She is the author and editor of several books and articles in the field of IP law and has done expert work for the UK Intellectual Property Office, the European Commission and national and foreign law firms. Her main areas of research are copyright and designs, database protection, IP overlaps, IP and climate change, and IP and well-being.
She is a member and former president of the European Copyright Society, member of the Research Expert Advisory Group of the UKIPO and president-elect of ATRIP. A full biography and the list of her publications can be found at
