What's In Scope
How Intellectual Property bills are selected
In scope are the rights states genuinely own: digital replicas and the right of publicity, name, image and likeness including student athletes, restrictive covenants and talent mobility, and the treatment of training data and synthetic performances where a state creates a right rather than describing a federal one.
Scope is defined by a written topic profile that every bill is measured against. The profiles are drafted by a model and validated by retrieval measurement against a judged set of bills, not reviewed by an attorney. LawSignals is a research tool and does not provide legal advice.
