Human Digital Twin, Intellectual Property Rights, Data, PrivacyAbstract
Although no "absolute" definition exists, a human digital twin (HDT) may be defined as a virtual physiological copy or counterpart in digital world of a real person existing in the physical world having active connection between the human and his corresponding twin in metaverse. The current study aims to explore the intellectual property rights (IPR) challenges of HDTs. Previously discussions on HDT have mostly focused their potential use in health system for predictions of diseases nearly ignoring the patent associated with them. Current study highlights patent landscape analysis of HDT indicating current trends in HDT patents and future scenario of this technology.
