Navigating the intersection of trade secrets and artificial intelligence developments
On September 23, we hosted a symposium on the role of trade secrets in emerging artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in today’s rapidly evolving marketplace. This event took place at USPTO headquarters, with both virtual and in-person attendance options.
Over four sessions, experts from academia, law practices, and the U.S. AI industry examined the role of trade secret protection in AI development.
This hybrid program explored:
- Trade secret law, including an overview and recent developments
- The role of trade secrets in AI development
- Transparency in AI development
- Stakeholder viewpoints on trade secret protections in AI
Questions for panelists were submitted in advance to AskTradeSecrets@uspto.gov.
A recording of this event is now available.
