The Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will offer a one-hour webinar entitled "AI: Protecting Inventions in China, Europe and the U.S." on May 9, 2019 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm (ET). Jessica Meyers of Microsoft, Andreas Holzwarth-Rochford of Jones Day, and Roger Shang of Alibaba will address how to approach the challenge of obtaining Artificial Intelligence (AI) patent protection in three major jurisdictions, as well considering when the alternative of trade secret protection could be a better course to take, and consider various litigation scenarios, including the ongoing dispute in China between Zhizhen Network Technology and Apple that relates to Apple's Siri voice assistant app. The panel will use claim sets for actual AI inventions to compare and contrast patent law and practice among the three jurisdictions in two key areas for AI:
• Patent eligibility, including the impact of the new USPTO guidelines put forth in January, and
• Written description, enablement, and functional claiming.
The registration fee for the webinar is $135 (government and academic rates are available upon request). Those interested in registering for the webinar can do so here.
