Abstract
Today’s modern organizations are heavily investing in artificial intelligence (AI) to remain competitive and relevant. However, along with the significant opportunities offered by AI-related inventions, is the challenge of effectively protecting intellectual property (IP) in this space. Seeing patents as a difficult path to take, businesses are now looking toward trade secret protection.
While a trade secret can provide several advantages – such as broad subject-matter eligibility – it also has many drawbacks. Companies and their lawyers must be conversant with the implications of keeping AI as a trade secret to ensure that potential risks are mitigated.
In this LIVE Webcast, a seasoned panel of thought leaders and professionals brought together by The Knowledge Group will present to the audience a comprehensive guide on utilizing trade secrets to protect AI-related IP. Speakers will also provide practical tips and best practices in maximizing trade secret protection while avoiding missteps.
Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:
• AI and Trade Secret Protection
• Trade Secrets vs. Other IP Rights
• Opportunities and Challenges
• Practical Tips and Best Practices
• Outlook
