Mr. DeMaio, an acclaimed and recognized inventor holding a growing portfolio of more than 30 foundational, post-app, utility, and design patents, including modular hardware, anchored in a June 2021 IP priority baseline, and a champion of user data and digital sovereignty, is scheduled to participate in two pivotal interactive sessions and the closing plenary. Each session will feature an introductory speech followed by an open, collaborative Q&A forum moderated with the audience:

• Monday, September 21 | Session 3: Copyright, Open Source & AI: Managing Digital IP Risks in the Age of Generative AI: Mr. DeMaio will detail Phinge's fundamental verified architecture designed to protect user data sovereignty and combat corporate surveillance. He will address the rising challenges of unverified, AI-driven unauthorized IP usage and how to prevent deepfake harms at the root, followed by a moderated audience Q&A tackling how standard technology frameworks are being leveraged against individuals and intellectual property.
• Monday, September 21 | Session 4: Brand Protection Against Counterfeiting, E-Commerce & International Trademark Enforcement: Mr. DeMaio will address the rising challenges of unverified, AI-driven unauthorized IP usage and how to prevent counterfeiting and E-Commerce harms internationally, followed by a moderated audience Q&A tackling how standard technology frameworks are being leveraged against individuals and intellectual property.
• Tuesday, September 22 | Session 9: Generative AI, Deepfakes, Open Source & AI Model IP Risk Management: He will participate in this panel and discussion covering legal, intellectual property, and security risk management frameworks for generative AI, deepfakes, and open-source models and the elimination of those harms through its patented, one-user-one-device,verified intelligence, technologies and ecosystem.
• Tuesday, September 22 | Closing Plenary: Winning the IP Battle: Strategic Litigation for Patents, Trademarks & Copyrights: This capstone panel shifts focus directly to paradigm-changing infrastructure. Mr. DeMaio will present a comparative analysis demonstrating how Phinge's patented hardware-verified, app-less ecosystem with verified intelligence wiil fundamentally secure IP rights and guarantees transparent continuous monetization for rights holders, contrasting it directly against the vulnerabilities inherent in current software models. The session will transition into an open and informative debate, allowing the moderator and audience to debate actionable technological frameworks and policies capable of giving all rights holder protections and monetization globally.

"As the sole inventor of the Netverse, I conceived this architecture specifically as a user-centric, hardware-verified, app-less ecosystem where individuals truly own, control, and monetize their own data," said Robert DeMaio, CEO of Phinge Corporation. "IIPLA 2026 USA provides the perfect global stage to engage directly with the legal community. I look forward to the interactive Q&A format, as it allows us to collectively discuss how the legal ecosystem and those they protect will benefit from these new data and IP protections."
