AI Meets IP: Balancing Innovation and Risk for Startups

Learn how startups can use AI to accelerate innovation without unintentionally weakening or compromising their intellectual property.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how startups research, design, develop, and protect new technologies. While AI tools can help companies move faster, their use can also introduce intellectual property risks that may be easy to overlook.

Join FORGE and Wolf Greenfield for a practical webinar with intellectual property attorney John Harmon PhD. John will discuss how early-stage companies can take advantage of AI to support innovation while avoiding common pitfalls that could compromise their intellectual property position.

Attendees will gain insights into:

• What aspects of AI-driven inventions may be patentable, and what typically is not
• Intellectual property and legal risks associated with third-party AI tools, models, and training data
• How the use of AI can affect inventorship, ownership, and the ability to protect an innovation
• Practical steps startups can take to protect their technology while managing AI-related risk

The session will be particularly useful for founders, technical leaders, product developers, manufacturers, and others involved in creating or commercializing new physical products and technologies.
