In a world where AI is transforming how we create, innovate, and conduct business, protecting intellectual property (IP) is more important—and complex—than ever before. This panel will challenge entrepreneurs, startups, and creators to take stock of the IP they currently have or plan to create, including copyrights, trademarks, patents, and trade secrets.

Panelists, including attorneys and IP experts, will discuss traditional methods of protecting and monetizing IP and explore how AI is both improving and disrupting these processes. With the rapid evolution of generative AI, businesses must rethink how they safeguard their innovations, from tech products to creative works.

Real-world court cases and recent headlines will provide context, giving audience members an understanding of the current legal landscape. Panelists will also share their insights on how AI has influenced their work across various industries and stages of growth, offering predictions on how AI will continue to impact IP protection in the future.
