CLAIR is a weekly editorial covering three areas of legal practice: commercial law, intellectual property, and the legal adaptation taking place around artificial intelligence and emerging technology.
Each area is reported on its own merits. A significant Court of Appeal commercial decision is covered as commercial law. A trade mark dispute is covered as intellectual property. A regulatory development on AI governance is covered as AI and legal adaptation. Where these areas genuinely intersect — for example, a copyright case turning on AI training data — the coverage reflects that intersection. Where they don't, they don't.
Coverage spans the UK courts, the principal regulators including the ICO, CMA and IPO, and relevant international developments where they bear on domestic practice.
CLAIR exists to record what has happened: cases decided, regulations issued, legislation passed. Reporting is approached with a commitment to objectivity.
