The European Commission has recently unveiled the Guidelines concerning prohibited artificial intelligence (AI) practices delineated by the AI Act. These guidelines outline AI activities that are considered unacceptable due to their potential threats to European values and fundamental rights.

The AI Act strives to balance the promotion of innovation with the necessity of safeguarding health, safety, and fundamental rights. It categorizes AI systems into various risk tiers, including those that are prohibited, high-risk, and those subject to transparency mandates. Specifically, the guidelines highlight harmful manipulation, social scoring, and real-time remote biometric identification.

AI Training Meets Copyright Law: Munich Court Sides With GEMA Against OpenAI

On 11 November 2025, the Regional Court of Munich I ruled that OpenAI’s language models unlawfully used song lyrics by nine German authors. GEMA, acting as the collecting society, claimed that OpenAI’s models had memorised and reproduced copyrighted lyrics without permission. Comparable collecting societies across Scandinavia – such as KODA (Denmark) play similar roles in protecting authors’ rights and are closely watching this development.

EPO Enlarged Board Clarifies: Publicly Available Products Are Prior Art, Even If Irreproducible

The European Patent Office's Enlarged Board has fundamentally altered the landscape of prior art assessment, establishing that products made publicly available before a patent filing date constitute prior art regardless of whether they can be analyzed or reproduced. This landmark decision removes the long-standing reproducibility requirement, making market availability alone sufficient to destroy novelty and significantly raising the stakes for timely patent filings.
