ABSTRACT

Digital Intellectual Property Rights (DIPR) has become a new buzzword in the digitalization era around the world, especially in India. India has already made significant progress in the area of digital intellectual property rights (DIPR). Creators can use Digital Intellectual Property Rights to safeguard their digital intellectual property, whether it's a product or a service. Except for the Information Technology (IT) Act of 2000, which is specifically applicable to IT intellectual property, digital IPR are governed by laws and regulations enacted for general Intellectual Property Rights. A close examination of various legislation demonstrates their limitations in terms of digital IPR. It is critical to frame digital property-centric rules and regulations in order to protect digital intellectual property rights. The term 'digital' refers to the use of computer technology to utilize or store any data or information that is represented by digital signals. Artificial intelligence (AI), block chain applications, quantum computers, virtual and augmented reality peer-to-peer ("P2P") file sharing software, blogging, podcasting, and streaming - new ways to distribute material – are all part of it.
