Intellectual Property

Dive into the digital deep end as we discuss how artificial intelligence is rewriting the rule book on intellectual property.  This Program brings together intellectual property lawyers from law firms and in-house legal teams to discuss these significant topics:

• Ownership of IP created with AI – who is the inventor and who owns the output?
• Infringement Risk Management – how do companies manage infringement risks and protect their IP when they use AI?  Does AI output infringe third party rights?  How to prevent AI systems from learning from and/or incorporating a company’s IP?
• Integrating AI into the workplace – how to balance efficiencies with appropriate contractual and internal controls?  Protect trade secrets.  Protect privilege.

Co-sponsored by ACC Northeast and BIPLA, this Program will unpack how AI shakes up everything from trade secrets to copyright, and from IP ownership to privilege. The panel share strategies for shepherding your company’s IP rights while balancing the efficiency of technology with the need for appropriate controls.

Whether you spend time in the boardroom, at the negotiation table, or in a courtroom, you will gain crucial insights to stay a step ahead in the age of AI.

Register below.

The widespread use of AI across many industries is an urgent concern to all attorneys, but the effects of AI-related tools on Inventorship have an immediate impact on those who may encounter questions of patentability and other intellectual property-related issues. After a brief overview and reviewing precedent-setting cases, Renner Otto will review the guidelines and takeaways offered by the USPTO. The presenters will then work through applicable examples with participants for a better understanding.

Join us on July 9th for a session of “Soft Skills Summer School” as Richard Bliss, subject matter expert and ‘Top Social Selling Trainer’ on LinkedIn will show us how to post content to maximize the LinkedIn algorithm, the power of commenting, and how to use LinkedIn to boost your professional organizations and personal growth. You’ll have time to ask questions afterwards, and to network with your peers before (and maybe after) his presentation. It’s too hot for substantive programming, but that doesn’t mean you stop learning.

Intellectual property is often a critical component in – and sometimes the primary driver of – a merger or acquisition. Key transaction considerations include IP due diligence, validation of IP valuation, brand and trademark issues, and software and technology concerns including those presented by AI and emerging technologies. Join us for an engaging roundtable discussion where our panel of M&A and IP attorneys will share practical examples of collaborating on deals and how these key components impact the value and structure of the transaction.

This presentation will provide a 2025 update on trade secret issues and will focus specifically on three topics.  First, we will address the current status of appellate proceedings over the $2 billion jury verdict in the Appian Corporation v. Pegasystems case.  In last year’s trade secret update, we discussed the May 2022 trial result in Appian and the appeal.  This year we will consider the July 30, 2024 decision by the Virginia Court of Appeals (reversing the jury award) and the arguments pending in the Virginia Supreme Court.  Second, we will cover best practices for protecting trade secrets with NDAs, including recent case law about notice obligations during performance of non-disclosure obligations.  Third, we will consider the intersection of trade secrets and generative AI technologies and how courts might address trade secret claims arising out of generative AI platforms and large language models.
