About This Course
In today’s rapidly changing digital landscape, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Intellectual Property (IP) are no longer niche areas; they are the driving forces of innovation and the foundation of global competitiveness. IP protection has moved from an internal legal concern to a key strategic priority and a central battleground for market leadership. As AI continues to produce content, code, art, and inventions, the intersection of IP and AI raises complex legal questions. From Fortune 500 companies to emerging startups, clients need an attorney who can confidently answer: "Who owns what the machine created?" This course explores the challenges of protecting IP in an AI-driven world, covering U.S. and international legal frameworks, the newest litigation trends in generative AI (GenAI), and practical strategies for advising clients during this transformative period.
This course provides foundational understanding, emerging issues, and cutting-edge legal developments. Participants will leave with actionable insights into: how the IP landscape is evolving with AI-generated materials under U.S. and international law; ownership, authorship, and protection in the age of generative AI; and litigation trends and high-profile legal battles that shape AI jurisprudence. This program will help attorneys assess, manage, and mitigate the legal risks associated with the use or deployment of generative AI tools.
This program is designed for attorneys of all levels, from new associates to seasoned IP litigators. Attorneys who deal with intellectual property, businesses, or those who advise clients in tech, media, or creative industries will benefit from attending.
Learning Objectives:
- Evaluate AI fundamentals and how AI systems intersect with legal workflows.
- Resolve difficult questions of IP protection for GenAI-created materials.
- Compare U.S. and international approaches to protecting AI-generated content.
- Identify and navigate emerging legal risks associated with generative AI.
