Research
Currently I am working on the research project focusing on AI and copyright regime specifically in the AI generaerated fashion designs, which I have explored a number of jurisdicgtions such as UK, EU and US copyright regime. This also includes the issue of copyright infringement and its threshold in those jurisdictions.
Also, I am working on the research on competition law and fashion industry focusing on Mergers and Acquisitions as well as Corporate Governance.
Areas of my research therefore covers Intellectual Property Law, Competition Law, Company Law, Fashion Law, Corporate and Commercial Law.
Works in progress
I am writing my article on copyright originality in EU and US, and AI generated fashion designs of clothing.
