Innovation is moving faster than ever, but so are the risks. As manufacturers adopt AI and digital technologies to accelerate product development and operations, cyber threats targeting intellectual property and design data continue to rise. In this webcast, Grant Thornton and Lewis Rice professionals will examine the intersection of AI, cybersecurity and innovation, including practical approaches to managing risk while enabling growth.

 

You'll also gain insights into patent policies and procedures, from recent changes at the United States Patent Office relating to AI and digital technologies to the increasing urgency of protecting new inventions before competitors do. Discover strategies to better safeguard your organization's ideas, intellectual property and competitive advantage in an increasingly complex landscape.
