Copyright Protection of AI-Generated Works under Turkish Law

We are pleased to announce that our founding attorney, N. Berkay Kırcı, has authored a new article published in GRUR International (Oxford University Press and C.H. Beck), a leading journal in the field of intellectual property law.

Titled “Can Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Generated Works Be Protected Under Turkish Copyright Law?”, the article explores whether intellectual products generated by AI systems can qualify as original works and whether AI systems or their users can be regarded as “authors” under Turkish copyright legislation.

This article is a thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded English version of the author’s earlier work, originally published in the September 2024 issue of the Ankara Bar Association Journal of Intellectual Property and Competition Law.

It also incorporates comparative insights from recent U.S. case law and contributes to the ongoing international legal debate on AI and copyright protection.
