    The AI Smoking Gun: Will a "Non-Inventive" Report Sink You in Litigation? w/ Robert Plotkin

    Imagine your AI-assisted prior art search concludes an invention is "non-inventive", but you disagree and get the patent? If that AI report is uncovered during litigation discovery years later, is your case destroyed? This exact smoking gun scenario came up in my recent AI tool seminar. To get a definitive answer, I asked Robert Plotkin, one of my go-to U.S. patent attorneys for AI patents. His answer explains why, although the technology is new, the underlying legal principles are remarkably familiar and how you can confidently navigate this exact situation.
