Intellectual Property and Technology Attorney Needed for AI Governance Framework Review

I am seeking an experienced Intellectual Property and Technology Attorney to provide preliminary guidance regarding an emerging governance framework for intelligence systems. The project is not primarily a software application, automation platform, or customer service system. Those are potential applications. The core project is a governance framework focused on how intelligence should behave when interacting with people. Key concepts include: • Governance of Intelligence • Controlled Reasoning • Information Boundary Governance • Authority Boundaries • Listener-Centered Communication • Staged Information Delivery • Comprehension Validation • Transfer Governance • Behavioral Consistency • Organizational Discipline The objective of this engagement is not litigation. I am seeking professional guidance regarding: • Intellectual property protection • Copyright strategy • Trade secret protection • Licensing structures • Technology commercialization • Potential patent evaluation • Ownership and governance considerations At this stage, I am primarily interested in understanding: 1. How a project of this nature would typically be categorized legally. 2. What forms of intellectual property protection should be evaluated first. 3. Whether portions of the framework are better protected through copyright, trade secret, licensing, patent protection, or a combination of approaches. 4. What foundational legal steps should be considered before broader commercialization efforts. Please provide: • Your legal background • Relevant experience with technology, software, AI, governance frameworks, or licensing • Your initial assessment of the most important legal issues to evaluate Confidential details of the project will be discussed only after determining mutual interest and appropriate protections.
