Join Innovation Partnerships on November 30 for the next installment of our Software Thought Leadership Series, “Generative AI – Commercialization Spotlight & IP Trends.” We will delve into critical IP and legal considerations for university innovators and the latest patent and copyright trends. We will also spotlight two GAI-based technologies developed at U-M and their journeys toward commercialization and broader societal impact.
