Abstract
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will hold a roundtable to seek public input regarding: whether existing laws protecting an individual's reputation and existing laws prohibiting unauthorized use of an individual's name, image, voice, likeness, or other indicia of identity (collectively referred to within this Notice as "NIL") are sufficient given the development and proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The USPTO will seek this input to assist in its ongoing work to shape intellectual property (IP) policy, including NIL policy, and to assist in its work related to President Biden's Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence.
