Their docs say:

> If any suggestion made by GitHub Copilot is challenged as infringing on third-party intellectual property (IP) rights, our contractual terms are designed to shield you.

I'm not actually aware of a situation where this was needed, but I assume that MS might have some tools to check whether a given suggestion was, or is likely to have been, generated by Copilot, rather than some other AI.
