LLM Copyright Protection Research

πŸš€ Exploring cutting-edge techniques to safeguard the intellectual property of large language models in the AI era.

About This Project

In this project, we begin with a comprehensive preliminary section that introduces essential background knowledge for understanding various LLM IP protection methods. We provide updated definitions of key concepts such as model watermarking and model fingerprinting in the context of 2025, enabling newcomers to clearly distinguish between these often-confused concepts.

Our ultimate goal is to present a comprehensive pipeline of copyright protection methods for large language models. From contemporary model fingerprint definitions to fingerprint embedding (and extraction) techniques, and from fingerprint transfer to removal strategies, we provide an end-to-end overview of the entire process.

🌟 We hope this project serves as a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners in the field of AI copyright protection.
