First announced in June 2022, the AI/ET Partnership brings stakeholders together to share ideas, feedback, experiences, and insights on the intersection of intellectual property (IP) and AI/ET.
“The USPTO plays an important role in incentivizing innovation in critical technologies such as AI and other emerging technologies,” said Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the USPTO Kathi Vidal. “We are looking closely at the growing role of AI in innovation and its potential to dramatically affect our lives, and improve our country’s competitiveness, economic prosperity, and national security. Through our AI/ET partnership meetings, we are gathering feedback directly from the innovation community to promote greater awareness, openness, and inclusivity on our ongoing and future AI and ET efforts.”
The event is free and open to the public, but in-person attendance is limited. Register today to attend in person or virtually.
