Nov. 19, 2026 IP Section CLE (Noon, Virtual)
(1 Hr CLE, Ethics)
"AI Ethics in Your IP Practice: An Interactive Roundtable on Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights, and Litigation"
Speakers: Srini Chakravarthi, Slater Matsil LLP and Kirby Drake, Kirby Drake Law
Generative AI is now embedded in how IP practitioners draft, search, and litigate. In this interactive roundtable, held in Zoom breakout rooms, participants will work through realistic scenarios in patent prosecution, trademark, copyright, and patent litigation practice. They will compare how colleagues are handling these questions arising from the use of AI in their practice and leave with practical policies they can adopt.
