The event offers an overview of the legal tools available to protect, manage and commercialise software, whilst also addressing the new challenges posed by artificial intelligence. The session will examine the protection of software through copyright and trade secrets, registration and international protection, as well as the main strategies for commercialisation through sales and licensing. A specific section will be devoted to the relationship between software, data and AI, with particular attention to the use of works and databases for training AI systems and to the protection of innovations generated or assisted by artificial intelligence.
