Navigating IP Protection in an Era of GenAI

Workshop Overview

🤖 📜 Generative AI can feel like magic. By typing in a query or a prompt into a GenAI tool, one will get a response within seconds, seemingly effortlessly. To SMEs looking to maximise their efforts at work, this may be a game-changer to enhance productivity. Singapore’s Trade Marks, Copyright and Patents laws came into existence way before the recent boom of generative AI. However, how does copyright, patent, and trademark infringement apply to AI creations?

Join us in this workshop, where our speakers, Kwok Tat Wai, Partner at Marks & Clerk Singapore LLP, and Kevin Xu, Senior Patents Associate from Marks & Clerk Singapore LLP, will delve into the complexities of protecting your intellectual property rights amidst the rise of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI). Learn about the challenges, risks and best practices in IP protection, and gain valuable insights on what AI creations may be eligible for patent protection.
