Guidance on Inventorship of AI-Assisted Inventions

Registration Closed

This webinar will explore the USPTO guidance on inventorship of AI-assisted inventions and in what situations a natural person can be considered to have made a significant contribution to the invention. The panel will look at potential issues that could arise in a litigation context, and compare guidance from other jurisdictions. The panel will also provide strategies and tips that could help stakeholders navigate how to properly determine inventorship for different types of inventions produced using AI as a tool.
