## Programme notes

AI can help you build a product in days. It can't stop someone from copying it. What protects an AI startup is ownership: the IP that makes what you've built yours and hard to copy. Yet many founders quietly give up that ownership in their first months, by posting progress, demoing early, or pitching before they've protected anything. In this fireside chat, Kathryn Vatt, a former U.S. Patent Examiner who reviewed thousands of applications, shows founders where ownership leaks and how to plug it
