28th Annual BTLJ-BCLT Spring Symposium: AI Governance at the Crossroads

FREE
  • Instructor(s):  BCLT

Initiatives to regulate artificial intelligence are being developed and implemented at the state, local, national, regional, and international levels. This symposium began with a half-day tutorial on Thursday, February 27 for those not yet acquainted with major initiatives such as the California legislature’s SB 1047 (the Safe and Secure Innovation for Frontier Artificial Intelligence Models Act), which Governor Newsom vetoed; the Biden Administration’s Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, & Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence; the European Union’s AI Act; and technical governance measures. On Friday, February 28, a full day of speakers presented a range of perspectives on these initiatives and others, considering various types of governance tools (such as procurement policies and disclosure requirements) that regulators may deploy, and offering assessments of which are more and less likely to be effective in promoting artificial intelligence systems for the public good and ensuring safe and trustworthy development of such systems. Speakers also explored private ordering initiatives and the role of standards in achieving these important goals. This symposium is funded by a grant from the MacArthur Foundation

IP and Human Creativity in the AI Age: A Global Conversation

$575.00
  • Instructor(s):  BCLT

This conference—sharing the same title as our Berkeley course, IP and Human Creativity in the AI Age, launched in 2023—brings together leading scholars, practitioners, and judges from the United States, China (including mainland and Hong Kong), Japan, Korea, Singapore, Germany, the United Kingdom, and beyond to explore how intellectual property law should respond to the paradigm-shifting challenges of artificial intelligence. What distinguishes this gathering is its human-creativity-centered lens: we will ask not only how AI challenges existing doctrines—such as inventorship, nonobviousness, disclosure, authorship, and fair use—but also how IP can be recalibrated to ensure that this **formidable machine—an unprecedentedly powerful double-edged sword, with equally profound potential to enhance or to displace human creativity—**is ultimately deployed in ways that strengthen, rather than undermine, the human creative spirit. Hopefully, this conference can also offer a window into the convergence (or divergence) of common-law and civil-law traditions in addressing historical technological shifts, drawing inspiration from both comparative law and classroom dialogue. In this way, the event continues the intellectual journey begun with our Berkeley course in 2023, while fostering global conversations that cross disciplines, jurisdictions, and legal traditions.

Royalty Finance, the UCC and Issues of Recharacterization

$345.00
  • Instructor(s):  BCLT & Gibson Dunn

Presented by BCLT Life Sciences Law & Policy Center? In the context of chaotic capital markets over the last five years (the XBI has dropped 48% from January 2021 to March 2025 and an 80% drop in Biotech IPO issuances from 2021 to the end of 2024), where biotech companies must continue to raise capital, synthetic royalty finance transactions have emerged as an attractive financing structure that is nondilutive, uncorrelated with the markets, and a relatively low cost of capital.  The market saw steady growth in the aggregate deal value of synthetic royalty finance transactions over the last five years, with an average annual growth rate of 33% over the period.  With the increase in the number of synthetic royalty finance transactions structured as true sales, questions have arisen throughout the industry as to what exactly is being sold and what are the risks and advantages of acquiring a synthetic royalty. In this three-part virtual series, BCLT & Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher have partnered issues originally raised in a Law 360 article written by Gibson Dunn attorneys, Todd Trattner and Ryan Murr, entitled How Biotech Cos. Can Utilize Synthetic Royalty Financing. Gibson Dunn attorneys explore, in depth, royalty finance, looking at synthetic royalties, the treatment of synthetics under the UCC, and the risks of a sale of a synthetic royalty being recharacterized as a loan in bankruptcy.  The aim of this virtual speaker series is to educate biotechnology stake holders (investors, entrepreneurs, companies, and their attorneys) on best practices for monetizing and investing in a synthetic royalty so that they may embark on such transactions with greater certainty. For anyone with an interest in how modern biotechnology companies raise capital, this series will help you optimize your rights and reduce your risks. Don’t miss it!

The Impact of Prosecution Length on Patent Litigation Outcomes

FREE
  • Instructor(s):  BCLT & Baker Botts

Tuesday, January 6, 2026 | 11:00 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. (PT) | B-CLEPresented by Baker Botts Program Information | Resources | Add to Calendar Join BCLT as Matthew Avery (Partner, Baker Botts) moderates a discussion with Megan White (Partner, Baker Botts), Keith Jurek (Sr. Patent Counsel, GRAIL, Inc.), and Daisy Yau (Sr. Patent Counsel, Oracle). Together, they will explore findings from a recent comprehensive study that examined correlations between the thoroughness of examination by the USPTO and subsequent patent litigation outcomes. Analyzing over 89,000 patents litigated since March 2000, the study assessed how the number of rejections a patent receives affects its likelihood of invalidity, infringement, and unenforceability in court. The surprising results from this research may offer strategies for patent owners to refine their prosecution and litigation practices.
