DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid in-person and online event. Pre-registration i
 s required for either.\n\nThe recent DeepSeek event and the 99% decline in
  Large Language Model (LLM) pricing over just two years both highlight the
  accelerating commoditization of AI. While the widespread availability of 
 low-cost or free foundation models benefits companies deploying AI\, it al
 so raises concerns about how software companies can sustain profit margins
  in an increasingly competitive landscape.\n\nThis challenge ties into bro
 ader IP protection issues\, particularly as AI rapidly advances toward Art
 ificial General Intelligence (AGI). The shifting IP landscape—where copy
 right protections for AI models and AI-generated software may be significa
 ntly weaker than those for traditional software—poses additional hurdles
 . Companies seeking to impose downstream restrictions\, such as preventing
  model output scraping or unauthorized model distillation\, must navigate 
 these complexities carefully.\n\nIn this talk\, IP attorney Fredrick Tsang
  will examine these issues through the lens of IP protection strategies\, 
 including contractual safeguards\, copyright considerations\, and patent l
 aw. A wide audience will find this talk of interest because of the growing
  importance of AI in the world today\, and the many areas of AI that Tsang
  will address.\n\nSpeaker(s): Frederick Tang\, \n\n673 South Milpitas Blvd
