The Service
What the Safe Inventing with AI™ Workshop Delivers
A live privileged workshop for your inventor team, delivered remotely. Flat fee for single-organization groups.
Live Remote Workshop
Safe Inventing with AI™
Inventor Team Workshop
Patent Attorney John Ogilvie leads your inventor team through the specific risks that arise when inventors use AI tools — including how to preserve patentability, avoid creating prior art or inventorship problems, and structure prompting workflows that keep your IP protected. The session includes a presentation, privileged Q&A, and hands-on guided practice with your team’s AI tools. Each participant receives a one-page policy guide for internal use.
This workshop provides general guidance to your organization — not individual legal advice about specific inventions or applications. Single-organization groups only. Remote only.
Workshop Content
What John Ogilvie Covers
Disclosure Risk
When AI Use Becomes a Disclosure Problem
How inputting invention details into AI tools can create public disclosure or prior art issues, and how to structure prompts and timing to avoid them.
Inventorship
AI and the Inventorship Question
What inventorship requires, where AI assistance fits within those requirements, and how to document the inventor’s role when AI is involved in the creative process.
Workflow Design
Safe Prompting Practices
Concrete practices for using AI to assist with technical description without using legal terms that create problems, and how to maintain the inventor’s role throughout.
Policy Guide
One-Page Guide for Internal Use
Each participant receives a one-page Safe Inventing with AI™ policy guide — a Never / Always / Ask Your Attorney reference card for ongoing use by your inventor team.
How It Works
From Intake to Workshop
Complete the intake form. You will be asked for your organization name, approximate participant count, and preferred scheduling window. The workshop is available to single-organization groups only — in order to protect privilege, all participants must be from the same organization.
John Ogilvie reviews the request, checks for conflicts of interest, and confirms availability. If everything looks good, he sends an acceptance email with a payment link and notifies you that a DocuSign engagement agreement will follow by separate email.
You sign the engagement agreement via DocuSign and submit payment. The engagement agreement names your organization as the client. You are responsible for ensuring that only authorized attendees from your organization attend the workshop.
Note: The workshop is a privileged attorney-client session. Privilege belongs to the organization, not individual attendees.
Once the engagement agreement is signed and payment is received, John Ogilvie coordinates scheduling directly with you. The workshop is conducted remotely via video conference on a mutually agreed date.
At the start of the session, John Ogilvie delivers the one-page Safe Inventing with AI™ policy guide to each participant. The fee is earned at that point. The session runs approximately 90 minutes and includes presentation, privileged Q&A, and hands-on guided practice.
Optional
The engagement includes up to one hour of brief follow-up questions from attendees within 30 days of the workshop, shared across the group. Brief clarifying questions by phone or email only — extended consultation requires a separate engagement.
