The Center for Intellectual Property x innovation Policy (C-IP2) at GMU is hosting the prestigious WIPO-U.S. Summer School on Intellectual Property this June 3-7, 10-14 for the seventh year. The 10-day virtual program is a great quick intro into U.S. intellectual property law which students, young professionals, entrepreneurs, and innovators find very useful for their studies and careers.
Law students (and possibly pre-law students) can receive credit and a WIPO certificate if they complete the program requirements (attendance is counted), but professionals also register for the course to join the sessions most valuable to their field.
In a month’s time, this year’s CIP Roundtable will gather our partners and advisors for a strategic discussion on the two biggest challenges facing business and society – Sustainability and Artificial Intelligence.
Sustainability, particularly in the environmental context, it is one of the top goals of most companies. How does sustainability, which requires a long-term approach, fit within the current system that rewards short-term results? What is the role of IP in incentivizing innovation but also facilitating openness, given the value of knowledge spillovers in addressing climate change globally? What are the best practices for IP management to meaningfully address sustainability, and how should success be measured?
The recent advances in Artificial Intelligence, particularly generative AI, have every sector diligently reviewing all potential opportunities and threats. There is a consensus that GenAI will transform the economy and society – the only questions are when and exactly how. So, how should firms start to navigate the use of AI in their business practices? What are its current capabilities and future trajectory concerning innovation and IP management? How quickly will GenAI significantly impact the highly skilled work of invention and patenting?
Lastly, we will discuss several new programs to develop the dynamic capabilities necessary to embrace these challenges and lead organizational transformation.
