OMAHA, Nebraska (August 21, 2024)—The regional director of the Rocky Mountain Area of the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office, Molly Kocialski, will be on hand next month for a special lunch-and-learn seminar, “AI and IP: Considerations for using generative AI towards IP creation and drafting allowable AI-related claims.”

Free and open to all, the hour-long discussion will be Wednesday, Sept. 11, beginning at noon in room 1005 of the Durham Research Center. A complimentary boxed lunch will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

UNeMed is sponsoring the event, which is aimed at any UNMC or UNO faculty, staff or students interested in using generative artificial intelligence in research or in protecting AI-related inventions.

Kocialski was a private practice patent attorney for about 10 years before joining the USPTO in 2016.

She holds a chemical engineering degree from the University of New Mexico and earned her doctorate in law from the University of Buffalo in 1997.
