Forensic authorship examination is considered as the primary form of applying specialized knowledge of an authorship expert in civil proceedings when resolving cases of copyright infringement involving products of speech activity — both traditional ones (scientific articles and educational materials) and multimodal ones: website continuums on the Internet, online manuals, and educational multimedia courses. Based on an analysis of forensic expert practice, the study identifies problems related to the appointment of authorship examinations (the correct selection of the type and category of expertise, the formulation of questions) and the conduct of authorship examination — including within the framework of intellectual property examination. The solution to the problem of appointing authorship examinations lies in supplementing reference materials for judges with clarifications on the capabilities of authorship examination in identifying factual data for resolving disputes concerning verbal intellectual property. Meanwhile, the solution to the challenges in conducting authorship examinations does not involve replacing the expert with artificial intelligence, but rather using specialized software that combines qualitative and quantitative methods for analyzing written speech products, as well as the author's intellectual and discursive skills.
