AI, Monkeys Selfies and Patents- oh my!
Show Notes

Did you know that in 2021:

•  A patent application named an Artificial Intelligence (AI) as the inventor and in at least 1 country- it is listed as an inventor; 
•  AI is being used by the US Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) to aid in the patent search process; and  
•   a case involving a monkey that took a selfie may guide us in statutory construction? 
 
It’s a brave new world and Darin Klemchuk is here to walk us through it.   Darin is the managing partner and founder of the law firm, Klemchuk, LLP.  He has handled more than 500 intellectual property disputes, including over 40 patent infringement cases and hundreds of IP enforcement actions.  Darin represents Fortune 500® corporations, growing companies that benefit from broad intellectual property counseling, and startup companies with disruptive technologies.

Additionally at the end of the podcast at the 36:04 mark, the ILS gives a tribute to one of our own, Tom Wilson.
