Event Summary:

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly embedded in modern innovation, securing patent protection for AI-based inventions presents both new opportunities and growing challenges.

Gluck, Ph.D., Partner at Panitch Schwarze Belisario & Nadel LLP, and Orlando Lopez, Ph.D., Partner at CM Law PLLC, will delve into the USPTO’s evolving approach, explore the implications of recent case law including Recentive v. Fox, and share practical tips for drafting and prosecuting stronger AI-related patent applications.
