There are many social discussions about AI, but the novelty of AI seems to be the ability to create intellectual creations on their own. Therefore, it is a big problem who the intellectual creation generated by this AI belongs to. In the Intellectual Property Promotion Plan 2017 and 2019, copyrights will occur when AI is used as a tool, while in the case of autonomous creation (AI creations) using AI, copyrights will not occur. However, the boundary between the two is ambiguous, and there is a need to determine who belongs to AI creations that do not cause copyrights from a viewpoint other than copyright law. This paper examines previous research based on the intellectual property promotion plan, considers them mainly from the viewpoint of incentives, and makes recommendations for the Intellectual Property Promotion Plan.
