A new watermarking method for Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) protects intellectual property by embedding ownership into the model's understanding of graph structure, avoiding fragile backdoor triggers.

Why it matters: InvGNN-WM enables robust, trigger-free watermark verification without harming model performance, securing GNN IP against common attacks.

The big picture: Protecting AI models like GNNs is vital as they become core assets in industries relying on graph data analysis.

The stakes: Removing the watermark exactly is NP-complete, highlighting strong protection against tampering or ownership disputes.

Commenters say: Users appreciate the novel topological approach and robustness, while some seek clarity on limitations under advanced model compression techniques.
