In the absence of a federal comprehensive privacy law, states have been enacting their own in a sort of domino effect, creating a patchwork of compliance laws with their own nuances. The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act (TDPSA) is one of those new laws and goes into effect July 1, 2024, bringing Texas into the fold of U.S. states with a comprehensive data privacy law. While the TDPSA is similar to existing state data privacy laws, it has a unique threshold requirement that may broaden its reach compared to other states. Below are some key considerations that covered businesses should take into account to get ready for compliance with this upcoming new law. Read the full Alert on the Duane Morris website.

As generative AI is increasingly used to process information and generate new content, one possible application is to create an alternative embodiment in a patent application. This could happen when an inventor creates an original embodiment, and then instructs an AI system to create a variant of the original embodiment to achieve broad coverage. Conceivably, the AI system is configured to create an alternative embodiment based on existing data used to train the AI system or additional information that can introduce changes to the original embodiment, such as prior art in the field. Would such use of AI be an innocent act or should it trigger an alarm like certain other uses of AI? Read the full post on the Duane Morris Artificial Intelligence Blog.
