SUMMARY:Protecting Future AI Products: A Holistic IP Approach
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid in-person and online event. Pre-registration is required for either.\nThe recent DeepSeek event and the 99% decline in Large Language Model (LLM) pricing over just two years both highlight the accelerating commoditization of AI. While the widespread availability of low-cost or free foundation models benefits companies deploying AI\, it also raises concerns about how software companies can sustain profit margins in an increasingly competitive landscape.\nThis challenge ties into broader IP protection issues\, particularly as AI rapidly advances toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The shifting IP landscape—where copyright protections for AI models and AI-generated software may be significantly weaker than those for traditional software—poses additional hurdles. Companies seeking to impose downstream restrictions\, such as preventing model output scraping or unauthorized model distillation\, must navigate these complexities carefully.\nIn this talk\, IP attorney Fredrick Tsang will examine these issues through the lens of IP protection strategies\, including contractual safeguards\, copyright considerations\, and patent law. A wide audience will find this talk of interest because of the growing importance of AI in the world today\, and the many areas of AI that Tsang will address.\nSpeaker(s): Frederick Tang\,\n673 South Milpitas Blvd.\, Milpitas\, California\, United States\, 95035\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/481836
