This presentation explores the wide-ranging ethical challenges and complex evidentiary issues that arise with the use of AI and Intellectual Property Law. As AI tools are used for tasks such as patent drafting, legal research, reverse engineering, and searching, attorneys must navigate ethical duties of competence, confidentiality, and candor toward the USPTO and other tribunals. The presentation will cover the risks associated with the use of AI tools and foundational evidentiary concerns through various real-world examples and hypotheticals. The session will also provide some best practices for responsibly using, verifying, and challenging AI-generated evidence.
