Webinar: When Code Writes Itself: Rethinking IP Strategy in the Age of AI

When agentic coding systems can turn a natural-language prompt into production-ready software, copyright protection is no longer and automatic byproduct of building it. Innovators now face a hard question: how to maintain IP rights when the protection paradigm is being rewritten?

Join Fenwick attorneys Fredrick Tsang, Rajiv Patel, and David Hayes for a practical session on building an IP strategy for the age of AI-generated code. They’ll cover:

• Why copyright can no longer be assumed when AI writes the code, and what that means for your protection baseline
• How to make deliberate, ROI-driven calls on securing IP versus relying on faster, cheaper AI generation
• The growing role of patents in protecting underlying ideas, methods, and workflows, and where trade secrets fit (and where they fall short against independent development or reverse engineering)
• How IP rights still drive downstream control through licensing, enforcement where no contract exists, and proof of market leadership in open-source and hybrid ecosystems

Whether you're in-house counsel, a product leader, or an engineering decision-maker, this session will help you build a forward-looking IP strategy before the next sprint ships.
