31 ASIAN LEGAL BUSINESS CHINA • 亚洲法律杂志-中国版 WWW.LEGALBUSINESSONLINE.COM/CHINA CHINA IP RANKINGS 2023 has fuelled the AI boom, and at the same time it has also brought many regulatory and IP challenges, e.g. the compliance of training data, the legality of data sources, etc. So legal professionals need to think outside the box and judge the magnitude of risks from such dynamic perspectives as policy and legal logic, to help clients balance risks and benefits.” Zhu Xiaoqing is also concerned about AIGC development. “China has enforced the first IP judgments concerning text-to-image and text-to-video, sparking continuous academic discussion. AI has brought infinite possibilities for industry applications while subverting the traditional work creation process, posing a realistic challenge to the existing system of IP rules.” The value of data as a key production factor is increasingly prominent against technological revolution and industrial transformation. Zhu points out, “There is huge potential in bringing digital culture overseas, while data compliance is the basic guarantee for the exchange and sharing of resource elements. Both call for great attention at present. Opinions on Establishing a Data Base System to Maximize a Better Role of Data Elements and Interim Provisions on Accounting Treatment Related to Enterprise Data Resources further promote the assetisation of data elements, thus realizing data value. Including business data assets in statements is imminent. In addition, the National Data Administration will make it an important task to develop a sound data IP system of Chinese characteristics. This will surely bring about a new pattern of data protection and utilization.” Ma Xiang believes that the fifth amendment of the Trademark Law may be the most noteworthy. “The amendment involves huge changes and has gained widespread attention. In particular, it is widely discussed in the legal community.
