Women in IP – Supreme Court Denies Review of Thaler v. Perlmutter: AI Authorship Questions Remain

In early March, the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari in Thaler v. Perlmutter, continuing the standard that only works created by a human can receive U.S. copyright protection. This raises complex questions as businesses continue to aggressively introduce AI to their processes.

Partners Meredith Wilkes and Emily Tait talk about what you should know in the current AI landscape, AI risk mitigation, and 10 years of “Women in IP” at Jones Day.

Artificial intelligence presents so many opportunities, but there are still so many questions in relation to copyright law. What constitutes fair use? How much human input satisfies the human authorship requirement? Can federal or state legislation address the “deepfake” problem? And what makes adjusting to AI adoption so challenging?

Listen to partners Meredith Wilkes and Emily Tait talk about the current legal landscape and the practical implications companies face when bringing AI to the workplace.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has awarded The Ohio State University a trademark for the word “THE,” for use in connection with apparel sold in “channels customary to the field of sports and collegiate athletics”.

Jones Day partner Meredith Wilkes explains, how the University was able to obtain a registration, and the important lessons the action holds for companies and institutions seeking brand protection.

Meredith also talks about Jones Day’s Women in IP initiative and the group’s plans for the second half of 2022.
