Kilpatrick partner Charles Gray, a patent attorney and the firm’s Shanghai Office Managing Partner, joined other leading Kilpatrick attorneys on a panel at the 20th annual KTIPS (Kilpatrick Townsend Intellectual Property Seminar) to discuss the topic of “AI and Generative AI: What’s Here, What’s Coming.” The panel presented the complexities of artificial intelligence and generative AI in the IP landscape. Panelists covered USPTO inventorship guidelines on AI-assisted inventions; the increasing role of AI in drug development; extending medical device patent claims with AI and genAI; developments and decisions in copyright cases filed across the country and the fair use issues associated with training data; and key observations and the great debate on how genAI will affect the future of patents.
