Artificial Intellegence, Business Model Innovation

Join us for a conversation with Duane Morris partners Brian Pandya and Dan Tarr on how the rise of AI is reshaping patent strategy. We’ll cover what the USPTO is saying today, when (and whether) AI use should be disclosed, how AI impacts inventorship and obviousness, and the practical risks—from inadvertent public disclosures that can jeopardize patent rights to trade-secret leakage when using public AI tools. Walk away with guidance for setting internal AI-use policies, documenting the invention process, and positioning your filings for the road ahead.
