Wesley Johnson, an attorney based in Chicago, Illinois, U.S., recently shared his insights on intellectual property protection in the mini series industry. Drawing on his extensive experience in copyright and trademark law, he noted that in today's rapidly evolving environment of content creation and distribution, infringement has become one of the industry's most urgent challenges.

Johnson pointed out that plagiarism and unauthorized online streaming remain persistent issues. The advent of artificial intelligence has likewise raised unique legal challenges, since not all AI-generated content is eligible for copyright protection.

He emphasized that safeguarding originality and proactively defending intellectual property rights are essential to addressing these challenges. Johnson urged creators and producers to prioritize copyright registration, stressing that copyright protection is not only a legal safeguard but also a  defense of creative value and artistic labor.
