Licata & Tyrrell P.C. Jane, could you provide our readers with an overview of your work in AI, regulatory matters, and IP in the biotechnology and medical fields? How has this multidisciplinary expertise shaped the philosophy of Licata & Tyrrell P.C.? The common factor in all of our work is that technology is often significantly ahead of the law, and we help shape the law and public policy. For example, molecular diagnostics raised not only the question of how to patent such an invention but also questions about genetic privacy and sharing of such information and the regulation of such products as medical products. In the area of AI, we first engaged with AI-enabled technology as software as a medical device and now work with many different products and systems in all aspects of healthcare and health & wellness applications. In addition to the IP and regulatory aspects, I also advise in the area of data privacy and ethics. The nature of the cutting-edge, paradigm-shifting technology we work with requires thinking about and developing a thoughtful, overall strategy. There are often many competing considerations, so we must look for the lynchpin and then build an approach around that. For example, is the market regulated, and if so, how can that be used to advantage? Is there a relatable legal principle that can be built upon or that needs to be distinguished? What is the technological and competitive landscape? Technology can be tools or platforms that can address many needs and are relevant in multiple markets.
