The emergence and continued progress of commercial launch services has transformed space into a compelling frontier for innovation. Yet, patent infringement occurring in orbit is not a run-of-the-mill IP enforcement issue and can be difficult to address directly. This raises an important question: why invest in patent protection for technologies intended to operate in space? The answer lies in understanding where patent rights can be enforced, but also how patents create commercial value beyond litigation.

The on-going debate between the entertainment industries and Internet Service Providers (“ISPs”) centring round the extent to which ISPs should be liable for illegal activities occurring over their networks has recently intensified following the release of a strategy paper entitled “Creative Britain: New Talents for the New Economy” (the “Strategy Paper”) by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport.

‘Big Data is everywhere’. ‘If you haven’t heard’ trumpeted the Financial Times’ Lex column of 27 June 2014, ‘Big Data is everywhere’.

Generative AI systems produce plausible but incorrect outputs at rates far higher than traditional software, creating board-level risks that demand new governance frameworks. While recent developments like self-evaluation and grounding techniques show promise, these errors cannot be engineered out entirely. Business leaders must recognize that AI's tendency toward confident falsehoods requires treating it as fallible intelligence rather than infallible automation.

The UK's Information Commissioner's Office has launched a six-week consultation on agentic AI systems, examining how data protection law applies to autonomous AI agents that can make decisions and take actions with minimal human oversight. The call for evidence focuses on six critical themes including data security, transparency, accountability, automated decision-making, fairness and purpose limitation, and lawful bases for processing personal data.

As organisations move from AI adoption to integration, critical questions emerge about how technology reshapes work itself. Five emerging fault lines reveal how the same AI capabilities can produce vastly different outcomes depending on strategic choices about workload design, expertise development, worker autonomy, capability distribution, and value sharing.

All businesses have a trading name. Most modern businesses also have a website domain name and more often than not, one that is the same as the trading name. The importance of these two names cannot be stressed enough – both underpin your business by clearly identifying it so customers can find you and your products, which increases the value of your business by developing its goodwill and reputation.

The Divisional Court's decision in R (Ayinde) v London Borough of Haringey establishes that lawyers remain fully accountable for AI-generated legal work, with failures potentially exposing deficiencies in competence, supervision and governance. This landmark judgment clarifies that while AI can enhance efficiency, it functions like an unsupervised paralegal requiring rigorous verification, and regulators will increasingly scrutinize firm-wide training, oversight systems and managerial accountability when AI

In 2008, Arun Ganesh, a Chennai-based information design student, was frustrated by the lack of accurate bus route maps or timetables and decided to take the matter into his own hands.

Employees are increasingly turning to AI tools like ChatGPT for guidance on managing their equity compensation, but research shows these systems provide incorrect answers to financial questions up to 88% of the time. As AI becomes an invisible interpretation layer between employer communications and employee decisions, companies must rethink how they design share plan materials to ensure they degrade safely when context is incomplete or misunderstood.

On 7 January 2019, the United States Patent and Trademark Office ("USPTO") published two guidance notes on its practice for examining subject matter eligibility and clarity of claims for computer implemented inventions.

Werner Vogels argues that AI has disrupted traditional trust mechanisms—from personal relationships to institutional intermediaries to distributed digital systems—by making trust signals increasingly easy to fake. Drawing parallels with banking's post-financial crisis recovery, this analysis explores whether AI governance requires decentralization or stronger institutions capable of risk-based oversight and continuous verification.
