The Impact of Intellectual Property on Virtual Reality

Conclusion

Summarily, there are no specific laws regarding VR yet, but existing IP laws are still applicable for the same. The Indian IP jurisprudence in this field is at a relatively burgeoning stage and judgements of other nations serve as beacons for Indian Courts. However, owing to the rapid expansion in this field, lawsuits in India will be inevitable as well. Thus, since internet reality is soon going to be the norm, the existing laws should be construed to develop good practices and balance the interests of the parties. Laws should be interpreted in a manner which foster the development of VR as well as safeguard the interests and rights of the IP holders. Further, there is an imminent need to spread awareness regarding the risks associated with unauthorised use of IP in VR and it is advisable for developers to remain wary of using the IP of others in the virtual world.
