Inventing with AI: Technology, Patent, and Venture Considerations

Description
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere nowadays, including in research and technology commercialization. AI systems are being used to design experiments, conduct complex research tasks, even draft intellectual property claims. As the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office revs up its guidance around AI inventions, our expert panel of patent professionals, a researcher, and a venture capitalist discuss considerations around AI and the technology transfer process.

Panel:
- Eric Wagner, Legal Director at Duke's Office for Translation & Commercialization
- Diane Busch, Patent Agent at Duke's Office for Translation & Commercialization
- Pranam Chatterjee, Assistant Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science, and Biostatistics & Bioinformatics at Duke University
- Manny Stockman, Partner at venture capital firm Osage University Partners (OUP)
- Rory Pheiffer, Partner at law firm Barnes & Thornburg LLP

Possible topics of conversation include:
- How scientists are currently using AI systems for inventions
- How does using AI affect intellectual property claims
- What are venture capital firms looking for - or avoiding - in AI tech university spinouts
- And many more!
Bring your questions and we'll endeavor to answer them.

This seminar is open to all: students, faculty, staff, and beyond.
