The Joseph Saveri Law Firm is taking action to protect the rights of authors. Our firm has filed a lawsuit against Meta Platforms, Inc. alleging it infringed on book authors' copyrights by using their works to train its LLaMA large language models without consent. "As artificial intelligence continues to change every aspect of the modern world, we must recognize and protect the rights of artists such as these authors against unlawful theft and fraud," said firm founder Joseph Saveri. "LLaMA is not just an infringement of authors' rights; whether they aim to or not, these products will eliminate 'author' as a viable career path. This case represents a larger fight for preserving ownership rights for all artists and other creators."

#KRCL attorney Joy Winkler walks the fine line between the real world and its virtual counterpart to explore just how much #AI assistance is permissible when seeking patents for an invention or innovation. Highlights include: demystifying self-learning AI, how the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office measures eligibility of patent applications involving AI-assisted inventions; who is the inventor (AI or human), and more.

I’m interested in how AI is impacting law practice. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has issued guidance on how to determine inventorship when AI was involved in creating the invention. In 2022, in Thaler v. Vidal, the Federal Circuit held that “only a natural person can be an inventor, so AI cannot be.”  So, how can something developed by AI be patented? ·      The guidance reaffirms the Federal Circuit decision: Named inventors must be “natural persons.” A non-human, such an AI system, cannot be listed as inventor, even if it was “instrumental” in creating the invention. ·      A person named as inventor must make a “significant contribution” to any AI-assisted invention. ·      This is determined by existing inventorship law: The inventor must contribute in some significant way to the invention’s conception or reduction to practice. ·      USPTO gives an example: A person who merely 1) recognizes the need for a new design to solve a specific problem, 2) prompts an AI system to create a design, and 3) reviews the design outputted by the AI system, has not made a significant contribution. ·      On the other hand, a significant contribution “could be shown by the way the person constructs the prompt in view of a specific problem to elicit a particular solution from the AI system.” ·      These distinctions could be difficult to make in practice. It will be interesting to see how this plays out in real world examples as AI develops and its use in creating inventions increases. ·      The USPTO guidance tells us that inventors using AI should be prepared to demonstrate, with supporting documentation, the specific things they did to contribute to the invention and how AI was used to assist. https://lnkd.in/g6gx_eTV #artificialintelligence #technology #AI

Last year saw an increase in lawsuits targeting website Tracking Technologies as a result of a broad interpretation of privacy laws, particularly the California Invasion of Privacy Act (CIPA). NGE Intellectual Property attorneys and Cybersecurity & Data Privacy team members Kate Campbell, Alfred Tam, David A. Wheeler, AIGP, and Josh Hanson highlight how these lawsuits often claim that using tracking tools such as pixel tags and session replay software constitutes unauthorized wiretapping or using a pen register under CIPA. The article also highlights that recent decisions have been inconsistent, with some courts broadening the scope of CIPA while others have pushed back, thus creating uncertainty for companies facing potential claims.
