Tech on Tap: AI & Intellectual Property
Join us for Tech on Tap: AI & Intellectual Property, sponsored by Hovey Williams, for a conversation on how AI is reshaping copyright, patent, and ownership rights. As AI generates everything from text and images to software and inventions, long-standing assumptions about authorship and originality are being challenged.
We’ll explore how U.S. law and global trends are responding, including recent decisions, open questions around ownership and licensing, and the practical risks of using AI—from training data exposure to infringement liability. Designed for business and legal professionals, this discussion offers a clear, practical look at where the law stands, where it’s heading, and how to use AI while managing IP risk.
Speakers:
- Sam Korte - Senior Principal Counsel, Intellectual Property @ Garmin
- Tom Luebbering - Partner/Patent Attorney @ Hovey Williams
- Patrick Sweet - Co-CEO @ Stephens & Associates
