IRI hosted a conversation with Duane Morris partners Brian Pandya and Dan Tarr on how the rise of AI is reshaping patent strategy. The discussion covered what the USPTO was saying, when and whether AI use should be disclosed, how AI impacts inventorship and obviousness, and practical risks, from inadvertent public disclosures that can jeopardize patent rights to trade-secret leakage when using public AI tools.
