Video: AI in Your Legal Toolbox: Smarter Strategies for Safeguarding Clients’ IP

In this presentation for Justia, Josh Waterston examined how artificial intelligence is reshaping the creation, protection, and valuation of intellectual property. He explained the mechanics of generative AI, why they matter to IP practitioners, and highlighted key ethical considerations, cautionary examples, and emerging court responses. The program also covered AI’s impact on copyrights, patents, and trade secrets, with a focus on ownership, authorship, and asset value. Mr. Waterston provided practical guidance for drafting and negotiating agreements that address AI inputs, outputs, confidentiality, and ownership so attorneys can anticipate and manage AI-driven issues for their clients.
