Yeah definitely doesn't cover trademarks as they are for something else like you said. To my understanding patents do allow for either "improvements" or anything that achieves the same result as long as it's not the same solution as the patent? They would certainly be a lot trickier then copywrite/IP but I think LLM's would still be able to generate possible solutions? One thing I'm thinking of for example is medication analogs - there's common substitutes you can make that achieve the same or better results that you can make. To my understanding redbull actually did this (without ai) to modafinil with this patent - https://patents.google.com/patent/US20210380545A1/en https://patents.google.com/patent/US20210380545A1/en EDIT: Modafinil might have expired but it looks like redbull filed their patent before the expiration.
