AI & Corporate IP: Protecting Trade Secrets, Patents, Copyrights and Brands

Employees are already pasting source code, product plans, and customer data into AI tools. They’re also using those same tools to write code, draft content, and help develop new inventions. Each of those everyday uses raises a question about the IP the company already owns or is trying to create, from losing trade secret protection to inventions and works that may not qualify for patent or copyright protection at all. Join us on Tuesday, November 24, 2026, at 12pm ET / 9am PT as David Stevens, Intellectual Property Counsel and Business Advisor, IP Strategy Specialist at Stevens Law Group, walks through how legal departments can let employees use AI without compromising corporate IP. The session covers confidentiality, inventorship, authorship and brand risk, plus the practical controls that keep each of them in check. Attendees will learn how to: Protect trade secrets and confidential information: what employees are putting into AI systems, and how public vs. enterprise AI environments change your confidentiality exposure Preserve patent rights on AI-assisted inventions: how the human inventorship requirement applies, and how to document human conception and AI involvement Navigate copyright and human authorship: what protection AI-assisted works can (and can’t) get Manage AI-generated code and third-party content: spot licensing, infringement, and ownership risks before they reach your products Address trademark and branding issues: protect brand assets as marketing teams generate names, logos, and content with AI Build practical safeguards: policies, training, and workflows legal departments can put in place now Who Should Attend: This program is designed for general counsel, in-house counsel, IP counsel, and legal operations professionals at companies where employees use AI in product development, engineering, marketing, or day-to-day work. It will be especially useful for those responsible for AI use policies, IP protection, invention disclosure, open-source and software compliance, or brand management.
