Programme
The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into our daily lives is happening at an unprecedented pace, often without us even realizing it. This swift adoption brings significant legal challenges in areas like copyright infringement, patent eligibility, and trade secret protection.
As legal professionals, courts, and lawmakers around the world tackle these cutting-edge issues, this event invites us to consider international perspectives. What lessons can we learn from other jurisdictions and those leading the way in resolving these cases through various modes of dispute resolution?
CLE CREDITS
Anticipated to be offered. For reference, there were 3.0 Transitional Professional Practice CLE credits in New York (for newly admitted and experienced attorneys) for the New York session during our 2025 event.
These seminars in the USA do not qualify for Public CPD Points in Singapore, but it may be possible to obtain Private CPD Points for attending the seminars as non-accredited CPD activities.
