This page provides you access to a prototype Chatbot that you can use to explore theories of intellectual property. A few things you should know before using this tool:
It is built upon ChatGPT, which is a product of the company, Open AI. As a result, the tool is only available for use in the countries where ChatGPT is supported. Most countries in the world are now on that list — but unfortunately not all.
To use the tool, you must have an account with OpenAI. If you do not already have one, you can sign up for a free account when you first visit the Chatbot. Bear in mind that the privacy protections associated with all AI platforms, including those produced by OpenAI, remain uncertain, and OpenAI has been known to use transcripts of searches from free accounts for training purposes. Thus, you should probably not insert any personal information in the questions you ask in the tool.
Next, you should not think of the tool as an encyclopedia or oracle. Like all current large language models, it sometimes gets things wrong or “hallucinates” — i.e., makes things up. So you should treat all of its responses with caution. Before relying on its responses to your questions, you should check the sources listed in its replies and ensure that they support its claims.
The set of materials upon which the model was trained consists of Professor Fisher’s bibliography of IP theory, which is available at https://182.fab.mwp.accessdomain.com/ip-theory/. Most of those materials use the English language. However, the tool is designed to answer questions in other languages as well. Users whose primary language is not English might experiment with using other languages when employing it.
