Protecting Your Intellectual Property: Current Strategies for Safeguarding Innovations, Creative Works, and Trade Secrets

Jones Day and the Association of Corporate Counsel of Western Pennsylvania (ACCWPA) are pleased to invite you to this timely program discussing updates on the legal developments shaping intellectual property protection today.  

We will examine recent federal and state decisions, regulatory initiatives, and administrative rulemaking impacting the way companies secure and enforce patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. We will also address whether—and to what extent—works generated with AI assistance qualify for copyright, how inventorship is determined when machine learning contributes to an innovation, and whether developers must obtain permission to ingest proprietary data during model training. Finally, we will discuss the evolving legal standards for identifying trade secrets, as well as the extraterritorial reach of the Defend Trade Secrets Act.  

Attendees will gain a better understanding of practical strategies for safeguarding their organizations' core intellectual assets and avoiding risk.  

Please make plans to join us! CLE credit will be provided.
