Chris George and Michael Lenisa, HFZ capital members, recently returned from the IPO Annual Meeting in San Diego, where both attorneys made connections, shared their IP knowledge, and gained valuable insights.
On the first day of the conference, Chris helped lead a joint session of the AI and the Software-Related Inventions Committees. Chris is vice chair of the IPO’s Software-Related Inventions Committee, which focuses on judicial decisions, proposed legislation, and regulatory practices in the United States, Europe and other countries and geographies as well as recommends changes to the laws governing software.
Throughout the event, Chris and Mickey connected with other IP professionals to discuss AI innovation protection, usage of AI, international IP comparisons, and next steps in protecting quantum and other emerging technologies.
