About

Daniil Shmatkov is a legal scholar at the forefront of intellectual property law, specializing in the uncharted intersections of copyright, sports, and robotics. His pioneering work addresses the urgent need to define and protect creative expression in non-traditional domains. In his 2021 paper, "Copyright protection for sports and robotics moves: new challenges," Shmatkov tackles the complex question of whether athletic maneuvers and robotic movements can qualify for copyright protection, exploring concepts like pantomime and parody within sports. This foundational work, cited 2 times, lays crucial groundwork for future legal frameworks. He further expands this inquiry in "Approaches to Intellectual Property of Robotics Industry," where he provides a quantitative and qualitative analysis of patent and copyright filings across eleven robotics companies. This study, also with 2 citations, offers a practical roadmap for securing IP rights in the rapidly evolving robotics sector. Shmatkov’s research is essential for students and practitioners navigating the legal challenges of a world where human performance and artificial intelligence increasingly blur the lines of authorship and ownership.
