"From the Ground Up: Building and Maintaining a Patent Portfolio Tailored to your Company’s Needs"

Overview:

Starting and maintaining a patent portfolio for your company is a daunting task, regardless the size of the company. Where do you begin? How do you ensure the intellectual property assets you are outlaying capital to acquire fit corporate objectives? This program addresses: getting ideas from your company’s thought leaders; identifying what ideas to protect and how best to protect them; how to continuously audit your patent portfolio; and how should in-house counsel interact with outside counsel to maximize value.

ACC Houston IP Practice Group CLE
Privacy Compliance Program: What is it and Why Should We have One in Texas?
June 1, 2022 | 11:30 am - 1:00 pm | Maggiano's Little Italy

The rapidly evolving regulatory framework for personal data is increasing the cost and complexity of compliance.  Even organizations not subject to a state regulation would benefit from having a privacy compliance program.  In this presentation we will discuss two elements of data privacy.  First, we will cover the elements of data privacy legislation while reviewing the state laws passed to date: California, Virginia, Colorado, Utah, and Connecticut.  Second, we will cover steps your organizations can take today to prepare for compliance with privacy legislation in the future.   

Big Data and artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly playing an important role in driving innovation in practically all commercial and non-commercial aspects. Given the significant investments businesses are making into developing AI systems and collection of data, it is important for in-house counsel to implement a proactive and competitive strategy to protect IP rights in AI as well as the collected data. There is a reciprocal relationship between AI and big data because the success of AI depends heavily on big data while AI helps unlock the potential of large amounts of data by providing new processing tools, and any IP protection strategy should consider this relationship. The CLE will consider not only patent coverage, but also copyright protection, trade secret protection, and contractual provisions for protection of big data and AI – within U.S. as well as international jurisdictions.
