Dr Luminita Olteanu has received a small grant from the Daiwa Foundation to conduct comparative law research in Japan. The grant covers a research trip to the University of Hokkaido to collaborate on a project examining how UK and Japanese copyright laws deal with authorship, focusing on AI-generated works by exploring the historical, cultural and technological contexts that shaped, in each jurisdiction, the policy in this field.
Luminita does interdisciplinary and comparative research in intellectual property law and her work was published in reputed peer-reviewed journals such as the International Journal for the Semiotics of Law, The Journal of World Intellectual Property and the Journal of Intellectual Property Law & Practice. This grant will help Luminita consolidate and expand her research portfolio and areas of expertise.
