The fantastic yet twisted world created in the HBO hit Westworld presents numerous legal questions and conundrums. The all-star panel including, Ninth Circuit Justice John B. Owens, Professor Betsy Rosenblatt, Director, Center for Intellectual Property Law at Whittier Law School, Farah Bhatti, Shareholder at Buchalter, and other legal minds discussed the top legal questions posed in the groundbreaking show, from what corporate duties have been breached by Dr. Ford and the rest of the staff, to managing the park’s liability obligations, to the “human” rights of robots (or absence thereof), to just who owns the intellectual property created by the robot Hosts. The program also provided one credit of California MCLE to attorneys in attendance.
