LifeGenIP Life-Cycle Intellectual Property Governance of Visual Generative Models
About the Workshop
Recent advances in visual generative models have enabled high-quality content creation across images, video, and emerging 3D/4D media. At the same time, intellectual property challenges are becoming increasingly important throughout the model lifecycle.
The LifeGenIP Workshop brings together the computer vision community to address intellectual property challenges across the full lifecycle of visual generative models, from data collection and training to content generation, reuse, and long-term deployment.
The workshop features invited talks from senior researchers and rising stars in the field. Outstanding submissions will be recognized through Best Paper, Oral, and Poster awards.
Call for Papers
Topics of Interest
The workshop calls for submissions addressing, but not limited to, the following topics.
- IP protection for user data and creative assets: visual-centric unlearnable data, anti-personalization, watermarking, anti-editing/mimicry, AIGC detection, machine unlearning.
- IP protection for visual generative models: model watermarking, usage control, non-transferable learning for visual generative models spanning images, videos, 3D/4D content, and world modeling systems.
- IP protection for generative content: protection of generated visual outputs across static, long-running, controllable, and interactive models.
- Fair and privacy-preserving IP protection: fairness and non-discrimination with privacy preservation and minimal bias.
- Robust IP protection: robustness to adversarial manipulation, evasion, removal, backdoors, editing, and purification.
- Life-long IP protection: sustained effectiveness under cross-modality transformation, recomposition, and long-term reuse.
- Agentic IP protection: Anti-skill
- Biometric IP and Privacy protection:
- World Modeling:
Submission Guidelines
Submission Type: We welcome two types of submissions to the workshop. At the time of submission, authors must indicate the paper type:
- Regular papers: will be peer-reviewed following the same policy as the main conference and will be published in the ECCV workshop proceedings. Submissions should not have been published, accepted, or be under review elsewhere.
- Presentation papers: are intended for work that is currently under review or has already been accepted for publication, preferably within the past year, in major conferences or journals. These papers will not appear in the proceedings.
Both categories are accepted to encourage dissemination and discussion of recent findings related to the workshop topics.
Submission Format: Submissions must use the ECCV 2026 paper template (LaTeX), with up to 14 pages of main content; references and appendix are unlimited.
Submission Portal: Papers will be submitted through OpenReview; the submission portal will open in the near future.
