Program
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 credit
During the event, participants will have the opportunity to contribute questions in person or online. This program is being planned with the intention to offer CLE credit to attendees who join the live presentation.
New York seminar
WilmerHale has been accredited by the New York State and California State Continuing Legal Education Boards as a provider of continuing legal education. This program is being planned with the intention to offer CLE credit in California and non-transitional credit in New York to attendees who join the live presentation. This program, therefore, is being planned with the intention to offer CLE credit for experienced New York attorneys only. Attendees of this program may be able to claim England & Wales CPD. WilmerHale has been approved as a Colorado Certified Provider, as recognized by the Colorado Supreme Court Continuing Legal and Judicial Education Committee. We will apply for Colorado CLE (after the program) if requested. The type and amount of credit awarded will be determined solely by the Colorado Supreme Court. New Jersey grants reciprocal credit for programs that are approved in New York. We can also issue Connecticut credit. All attendees, regardless of jurisdiction, will receive a uniform certificate of attendance that shows the states in which the program was approved. Attendees who need credit in another jurisdiction can use the uniform certificate of attendance to self-apply. CLE credit is not available for on-demand webinar recordings.
San Francisco seminar
Anticipated to be offered
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.
