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

29th Annual BTLJ-BCLT Spring Symposium: Origins, Evolution, and Possible Futures of the 1976 Copyright Act

FREE
  • Instructor(s):  BCLT

To mark the 50th anniversary of the Copyright Act of 1976, the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology and the Kernochan Center for Law, Media and the Arts at Columbia Law School are sponsoring this joint bi-coastal symposium. The Berkeley event, on April 16-17, 2026, examined the origins of the 1976 Act, its key reforms and features, as well the challenges that the regime has encountered as a result of technological change. The Columbia event, on October 23-24, 2026, will focus on how the 1976 Act and subsequent reforms have interacted with public and private institutions, from the Copyright Office and the courts to collecting societies and voluntary and open source licensing organizations. Both events will explore how copyright law might be reformed to address challenges posed by new technologies, notably artificial intelligence. Symposium speakers will include Shira Perlmutter, the 14th Register of Copyrights, judges from the Second and Ninth Circuits, and leading copyright scholars. Symposium essays will be published in the Berkeley Technology Law Journal and the Columbia Journal of Law & the Arts.

Data Subject Rights: What Happens After the Request Comes InPresented with WilmerHaleTuesday, September 8, 2026 | 11:00 a.m. (PT) | B-CLE Webcast 0.75 General CLE Credit Available Program Info | Add to Calendar Deleting a consumer's data sounds simple — until one California request cascades across every subsidiary in your corporate family, browser signals and one-click portals fire off thousands of opt-outs at once, and a regulator checks your compliance just by visiting your website. Ali Jessani, counsel in WilmerHale's Washington, D.C. office and a specialist in U.S. state privacy compliance, maps the patchwork — 23 comprehensive state privacy laws, consumer health statutes, data broker regimes, and the FTC Act humming in the background — then dig into the operational realities: fragmented intake, identity verification, vendor flow-down, tight response clocks, and dark-pattern risk in opt-out interfaces. If you're hearing about this for the first time when a request lands in your inbox, you're already too late.   Speaker(s):Ali Jessani, Counsel, WilmerHale

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.

Protecting Quantum Innovation: IP Strategy in the Commercialization Era

FREE
  • Instructor(s):  BCLT & Van Pelt, Yi & James

Protecting Quantum Innovation: IP Strategy in the Commercialization EraPresented with Van Pelt, Yi & JamesTuesday, September 15, 2026 | 11:00 a.m. (PT) | B-CLE Webcast 0.75 General CLE Credit Available Program Info | Add to Calendar Quantum technology has left the realm of science fiction — and the law is racing to catch up. In this webcast, Michael Schallop, partner at Van Pelt, Yi & James LLP and adjunct lecturer at UC Berkeley Law, explains why quantum companies can no longer treat intellectual property as a late-stage legal formality. Drawing on his recent Law360 article, Schallop walks through the decisions that shape long-term value: which innovations to patent and which to guard as trade secrets, how to untangle inventorship and ownership in university spinouts and federally funded research, and how export controls and foreign filing rules can constrain a portfolio before it is ever built. He also separates real quantum opportunity from hype. The message is straightforward: IP strategy is commercialization infrastructure, and the choices made now are hard to undo later.

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!
