Wood Herron & Evans partner Tom Humphrey joined WVXU's Cincinnati Edition to discuss how AI is being used in the courtroom, the opportunities it presents, and the importance of balancing innovation with sound legal judgment.

As AI continues to evolve, so do the legal, ethical, and practical questions surrounding its use in litigation and judicial proceedings.

Thank you to WVXU and Cincinnati Edition for the opportunity to include Tom in this timely discussion.

Yesterday, April 26, was 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆. This year’s theme—𝗜𝗣 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀: 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆, 𝗦𝗲𝘁, 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲—recognizes sports as a serious engine of engineering, data, media, and commercial innovation.

From patented training and performance technologies to trademarks, licensing, and media rights, intellectual property protects the ideas and assets that power the sports industry.

As an IP law firm, 𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗻 & 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘀 is stoked to support the innovators building the technologies, systems, and brands that provide entertainment, recreation, and fun.

At Wood Herron & Evans, 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗽𝘆𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆 is one we truly celebrate.

Established by UNESCO, it highlights something central to our work: 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Because copyright does more than protect authors—it fuels innovation, supports culture, and ensures creators receive the value of what they create.

Today’s a good reminder that ideas—and the rights behind them—matter.

04/22/2026

It’s Earth Day.

A reminder that solving global environmental challenges takes more than good ideas—it takes innovation that can scale.

At 𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗻 & 𝗘𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘀, we know earth-friendly technologies only make an impact when they move beyond the lab. Intellectual property helps turn ideas into scalable solutions—supporting market entry, growth, and real-world adoption.

Through patent protection and commercialization strategies—and trademarks that build trust and guard against misleading “green” claims—we’re proud to partner with innovators advancing renewable energy, advanced materials, and cleaner manufacturing.

Because meaningful change depends on protecting and deploying innovation.
