Once a month, we have a meeting with a presentation about something invention related. Sometimes it's the creative part, like how someone came up with an idea. Sometimes it's the legal parts, like protection, patents, trademark, & licensing. Manufacturing comes up a lot, and so does marketing. We always enjoy our speakers, and we always learn from them. Questions are always encouraged, and our speakers share insights you can't get anywhere else. Before the meeting, you can visit with other inventors. New faces are always welcome, and if you have questions about invention or patents or marketing or ... there are usually members who can help guide you.

The meeting is on Zoom. The Newsletter will provide the meeting ID.

6PM CST, usually until 8PM or so. This meeting is online, on Zoom

Speaker:
Andrea Arndt

Topic:
Using AI To Innovate

Unresolved questions on how AI relates to patent law can make the landscape hazy for inventors and business owners. AI can help inventors explore ideas and solve problems, but how does using it affect patent, copyright, and other intellectual property protection? Who qualifies as the inventor when AI helps develop an invention? Who qualifies as a creator when AI helps create an image, song, story, or video?

Andrea will discuss these questions and the USPTO’s current guidance on AI-assisted inventions, building on her September 2026 Inventors Digest article, “Using AI to Innovate” (pages 38–40). inventorsdigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/INV-vol-42-Sept-2026D.pdf

Attendees will learn about human inventorship, documenting their contributions and protecting confidential information when using AI tools.

Questions are encouraged during the presentation.

Andrea is a Member in Dickinson Wright’s Austin office, ( www.dwlaw.com, www.dwlaw.com/our-people/andrea-l-arndt ) where she advises startups and global companies on patents, trademarks, copyrights, licensing, and related enforcement. She holds degrees in law and is registered to practice before the US Patent and Trademark Office as well as B.S. degrees in biomedical and computer engineering.
