Lab to Impact: Intellectual Property Module – Navigating AI-Assisted Innovation: Best Practices for Academic Researchers

Join the Center for Technology Licensing for a virtual session focused on the practical implications of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) tools into academic research and innovation.

As AI becomes an integral part of research methodologies, it is essential for researchers to understand how to properly document and manage AI’s role in the invention process, ensuring intellectual property (IP) rights are protected.

This session will provide valuable guidance on how to navigate the evolving landscape of AI-assisted research, covering key topics such as:

• Strategic approaches to incorporating AI tools in your research workflow
• Best practices for documenting AI assistance during invention conception and development
• Practical guidelines for maintaining transparent records of AI interactions (prompts and outputs)
• Protecting IP potential while leveraging AI capabilities
• Understanding the concept of hybrid inventorship in the AI era

Guest speaker: 

• David Sanker: Founder of Sanker IP
  David will provide actionable insights and practical frameworks for researchers looking to optimize their use of AI while safeguarding their intellectual property interests.

Hosted by Martin Teschl, Director of Business Development and Licensing at CTL.
