Are we losing or gaining IP in the new world of using open-source software for artificial intelligence (OSS AI), machine learning, and deep learning? As new software developments preeminently utilize AI tools and frameworks, IP issues become more complex and important than ever. The power of AI and the increasing capabilities of open source inspire new ideas and open the horizon for patent-worthy ideas and new IP opportunities. Furthermore, the flexibilities from certain open-source licenses further enable retaining critical trade secrets and protecting innovations with patents. In this webinar, we will discuss what software development scenarios frequently arise, how open-source licenses affect various scenarios, and what IP protections are effective.
Topics will include:
- AI technologies and tools developed using open-source AI frameworks
- Best IP practices for IP in OSS AI
- Checklists for patent practitioners
- Terms and conditions of open-source AI software application programming interface (API) and its effects
- Potential indemnity issues arising from popular AI software, such as GitHub Co-pilot and AWS CodeWhisperer
