Generative AI technologies, including large language models, image generators, and code assistants, are rapidly reshaping the intellectual property (IP) landscape in the United States. Current U.S. jurisprudence maintains a firm stance: under both patent and copyright law, only human beings can be inventors or authors.

For legal professionals, this evolving environment demands proactive strategies. Understand both the jurisprudence and legal strategies.
