The U.S. Copyright Office has made it clear: AI-generated works must include sufficient human authorship to qualify for copyright protection. Registrations for fully AI-generated content have been denied due to the unpredictability of AI outputs and lack of creative input from a human. Yet, approaches to copyright for AI-generated works differ significantly across countries, adding complexity to the legal landscape. Join our CLE webinar featuring Lisa Oratz and D. Sean West of Perkins Coie, where we’ll explore key cases illustrating challenges with human authorship in AI-generated works, recent guidance from the Copyright Office, disclosure requirements, and essential strategies for addressing copyright ownership and usage rights in AI-related agreements. Don’t miss insights on the implications of joint ownership in AI models and their output.

The DOJ’s annual report for 2023 revealed that the agency’s Health Care Fraud Unit was its busiest criminal enforcement section, responsible for convicting more than $3.8 billion in False Claims Act and whistleblower claims. There has reportedly been an uptick in whistleblower work among law firms and a record number of whistleblower cases. Still, some healthcare providers and hospital systems tend to hide their heads in their scrubs after being served. Justin Lugar of Woods Rogers joins the Emerging Litigation Podcast to discuss whistleblower cases and how they come about, the benefits of rewarding whistleblowers, how things are done differently outside the U.S., what’s driving the acceleration of this area of law, and best practices when your company is served. Justin draws on his background as both public servant and private practitioner to walk you through these issues and others.
