Abstract

A definition of knowledge-based technology (KBT) is provided which is more operational than conventional definitions of the term “expert systems”. Ownership rights in products developed using KBT are considered and difficulties discussed. Legal liabilities which may arise from such products are considered and issues identified. It is concluded that commercial exploitation of KBT may be hindered by these legal difficulties. Some policy implications are identified.
