One holds that junior attorneys should not meaningfully use AI because it will interfere with their development and prevent the formation of sound legal judgment. The other holds that AI will replace junior attorneys by eliminating the tasks they traditionally performed. Both positions rest on the same hidden assumption, which is that AI carries a direction of its own and that the professionâs task is to decide whether to accept it or resist it.</p> 546 547 <div class="post__meta"> 548 <strong><a href="https://ipwatchdog.com/author/jeffrey-cobia/">Jeffrey Cobia</a></strong> 549 <p>8 hours ago 550 <img src="https://ipwatchdog.com/wp-content/themes/IPWatchdog%20-%202023/assets/images/ip_34.png" alt="" width="24" height="25"> 551 0 </p> 552 553 </div><!-- /.post__meta --> 554 </div><!-- /.post__content --> 555 </div><!-- /.post__inner --> 556</div><!-- /.post --><div class="post-article"> 557 <div class="post__inner"> 558 559 <a href="https://ipwatchdog.com/2026/09/23/us-investors-ip-due-diligence-african-startups/" class="post__image" style="background-image: url(https://ipwatchdog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Depositphotos_58503825_xl-2015.jpg);"></a><!-- /.post__image --> 560 561 <div class="post__content"> 562 563 <a href="https://ipwatchdog.com/2026/09/23/us-investors-ip-due-diligence-african-startups/" class="post__title">What U.S. Investors Actually Look for During IP Due Diligence in African Startups</a> 564 565 <p>African tech funding just had its strongest year since the 2022 peak….

648Recent amendments to Federal Rule of Evidence 702 did not invent the trial judgeâs gatekeeping obligation, nor did they transform economic analysis. They did, however, sharpen the focus on the burden of establishing admissibility and whether an expert has reliably applied a valid methodology to the facts. Combined with the Federal Circuitâs increasingly demanding review of patent damages opinions, the practical message is unmistakable: the economic case must be engineered from the beginning, or you will surely suffer the consequences only after it is too late.</p> 649 650 <div class="post__meta"> 651 <strong><a href="https://ipwatchdog.com/author/gene-quinn-2/">Gene Quinn</a></strong> 652 <p>July 20, 2026, 05:06 PM 653 <img src="https://ipwatchdog.com/wp-content/themes/IPWatchdog%20-%202023/assets/images/ip_34.png" alt="" width="24" height="25"> 654 1 </p> 655 656 </div><!-- /.post__meta --> 657 </div><!-- /.post__content --> 658 </div><!-- /.post__inner --> 659</div><!-- /.post --> </div><!-- /.tab --> 660 </div><!-- /.tabs__body --> 661 662 663 <div class="tabs__body"> 664 <div class="tab tab--alt is-active recent-posts"> 665 <div class="post-article"> 666 <div class="post__inner"> 667 668 <a href="https://ipwatchdog.com/2026/09/22/d-c-judge-pauses-perlmutter-suit-as-copyright-office-bill-awaits-senate-action/" class="post__image" style="background-image: url(https://ipwatchdog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Depositphotos_13770756_S.jpg);"></a><!-- /.post__image --> 669 670 <div class="post__content"> 671 672 <a href="https://ipwatchdog.com/2026/09/22/d-c-judge-pauses-perlmutter-suit-as-copyright-office-bill-awaits-senate-action/" class="post__title">D.C.

They do not reward ideas merely because they are clever, patentable or even technically superior. They reward products that work, solve a problem customers recognize, can be manufactured at an economically sustainable price and generate an acceptable return for whoever assumes the risk of bringing them to market.</p> 758 759 <div class="post__meta"> 760 <strong><a href="https://ipwatchdog.com/author/gene-quinn-2/">Gene Quinn</a></strong> 761 <p>July 14, 2026, 02:15 PM 762 <img src="https://ipwatchdog.com/wp-content/themes/IPWatchdog%20-%202023/assets/images/ip_34.png" alt="" width="24" height="25"> 763 1 </p> 764 765 </div><!-- /.post__meta --> 766 </div><!-- /.post__content --> 767 </div><!-- /.post__inner --> 768</div><!-- /.post --><div class="post-article"> 769 <div class="post__inner"> 770 771 <a href="https://ipwatchdog.com/2026/07/07/federal-circuit-finds-deep-learning-patents-ineligible/" class="post__image" style="background-image: url(https://ipwatchdog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Depositphotos_35440567_xl-2015.jpg);"></a><!-- /.post__image --> 772 773 <div class="post__content"> 774 775 <a href="https://ipwatchdog.com/2026/07/07/federal-circuit-finds-deep-learning-patents-ineligible/" class="post__title">Federal Circuit Finds Deep Learning Patents Ineligible</a> 776 777 <p>The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) issued a decision today in Dental Monitoring SAS v. Align Technology, Inc., affirming a district court ruling that found several patent claims covering deep learning based dental image analysis invalid as directed to ineligible subject matter under Section 101. Dental Monitoring SAS owns U.S. Patent 11,049,248 and U.S. Patent 10,755,409, both of which relate to dental arch image analysis. The â248 patent covers âa method for assessing the shape of an orthodontic aligner using a deep learning device,â while the â409 patent covers a method for acquiring and analyzing an image of a dental arch using the same type of device.</p> 778 779 <div class="post__meta"> 780 <strong><a href="https://ipwatchdog.com/author/rose-esfandiari/">Rose Esfandiari</a></strong> 781 <p>July 7, 2026, 12:15 PM
