Kathi Vidal, Former Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), discusses how the U.S. Department of Commerce has issued guidance on AI-assisted inventions via the USPTO and takes the lead in providing a key framework that guides our nation’s approach to AI and its intersection with intellectual property.
