Summary
Tokyo AI hosts an evening briefing with intellectual property lawyers from Womble Bond Dickinson on how AI is reshaping IP law for enterprises. The session covers recent developments in U.S. copyright, patent, and right-of-publicity law, the opportunities and risks AI introduces for trade secret protection, and the patent challenges that arise as AI accelerates discovery in biotech, medtech, and medical devices. Three partners present in sequence: Chris Mammen on the current state of AI and U.S. IP law, Steve Levitan on trade secrets and AI, and Susan Krumplitsch on patents and AI in the life sciences. Each talk pairs a practitioner abstract with concrete questions teams face when building or commercializing AI-driven innovation. The format runs from 18:30 to 20:00 of talks, followed by an hour of networking, and is aimed at founders, engineers, and corporate innovation leaders who need to understand the legal frameworks around AI before they ship.
