As artificial intelligence, and generative AI in particular, becomes an indispensable technology for companies and consumers, legal professionals must be ready to advise their clients or business on the fast changing legal and regulatory environment governing the use of AI and the business and litigation risks of deploying and adopting this technology.

Through a panel discussion featuring the perspectives of Practical Law subject matter experts and a senior in-house lawyer, this webinar will cover some of the developing legal framework on AI use in Canada and the legal issues to navigate in this fast-moving area. 

Topics will include: 

  • Current position in Canada on AI regulation and how the regulatory framework is evolving. 
  • Data protection and employment law issues to consider when deploying and adopting AI, including generative AI. 
  • Managing liability and risk when using AI systems. 
  • Current market practice and what is on the horizon in 2025. 

In this Webcast, we will delve into important developments and emerging trends that are shaping the landscape of intellectual property. Our program is designed to provide in-house attorneys with actionable insights across four key subtopics. First, we will explore the latest guidance and rule changes from the Patent and Trademark Office, shedding light on how these updates impact patent prosecution and enforcement. Next, we will examine the role of artificial intelligence in both the prosecution of patents and the strategic challenges to patent validity, as well as the current trends in patenting AI-related inventions. We will also provide a focused update on patent validity within the life sciences sector, discussing notable cases and regulatory shifts that are particularly relevant to this industry. Finally, we will cover recent developments in design patents, highlighting significant rulings and emerging trends. Join us for an engaging and informative discussion that will equip you with the knowledge to navigate the evolving patent validity landscape effectively.
