Assessing the Impact of Recent IP Rulings on Artificial Intelligence, Software, and Website Design

As usual, rulings in IP law are being scrutinized for their impact on emerging technologies. This program, presented by Toby Butterfield of Moses & Singer LLP will discuss emerging trends in technological developments, with a particular focus on intellectual property disputes. Mr. Butterfield will assess recent rulings on copyright law's requirement of originality, and how it may affect the development of artificial intelligence. The program will also consider recent rulings on requirement of volitional conduct, and assess their impact on software and website design. Finally, it will summarize and comment on the collision of First Amendment and trademark law currently being considered by the Supreme Court.
