This webinar will describe the issues involved with training AI models using sensitive information. Attendees will also learn about the data privacy risks and legal implications that arise when AI models are trained using sensitive information. Lastly, this webinar will discuss data science techniques that can prevent the problem of “unintended memorization.”

Our panelists will discuss how the Alice/Mayo test for patent eligibility are not being applied to method of manufacturing patents. Do these cases push the Alice/Mayo test too far? Do they further conflate patent eligibility with obviousness or enablement? And do they put manufacturing, mechanical, and electrical patents more at risk for eligibility challenges (and cancellation)? Join us as we discuss these cases and the current state of patent eligibility.

A decision this spring by the Eleventh Circuit appears to offer publishers of data a novel way to pursue website scrapers by using trade secret law. The decision is thus also an important possible threat to companies that depend on others’ data as fodder for their artificial intelligence solutions. Panelists include a top IP lawyer at a global tech company active in AI and two litigators.

The Federal Circuit’s reasoning in Electrical Power Group v. Alsom has zapped more than twenty software patents since 2016, invalidating them as abstract under Alice.

Some of the most interesting and talked-about IP issues, both nationally and internationally, are those relating to artificial intelligence (AI).
