AI and IP: Navigate the Changing Dynamics of Innovation
According to KPMG, 62% of law firms reported increased client demand for AI-driven legal services, from contract analysis to IP management. McKinsey estimates that 23% of a lawyer’s work could be automated with existing AI technologies, allowing legal professionals to shift from routine tasks to more strategic work. The question is no longer whether AI will affect IP practice, but how organisations can adopt it responsibly, securely and profitably.
It is time to redefine IP in the age of AI innovation. The fast-moving AI revolution is reshaping the IP field, creating unprecedented challenges and opportunities.
To do this, key questions must be answered: What frameworks and best practices are needed to ensure responsible, bias-free, and legally compliant AI usage? How will AI reshape the roles, responsibilities, and skills required of IP and legal professionals? How can legal teams justify the investment in AI tools by demonstrating clear improvements in efficiency and cost-effectiveness? As international regulations around AI and data develop, how can companies ensure IP compliance across diverse legal landscapes?
Join thought leaders to explore how legal frameworks can evolve to safeguard innovation while addressing the ethical, operational, and strategic impacts of AI on IP management, at WIPR’s upcoming event for AI and IP leaders: “AI & IP USA” (October 6–7 2026, New York).
AGENDA SNAPSHOT: WHAT WILL YOU LEARN FROM OUR GROUNDBREAKING SPEAKER FACULTY?
Navigating the New Risk and Liability Frontier
With regulation lagging behind technology, IP leaders will share how they balance the opportunities afforded by AI with the inherent risk that comes from using AI in their practice.
Operationalizing AI: From Hype to ROI
Beyond the legal theory, there is now a heavy emphasis on the practicalities of deployment. As pressure grows to demonstrate measurable ROI, the discussion will identify where AI tools can deliver the greatest operational, financial and strategic impact.
The Evolution of the "AI-Native" Counsel
The professional identity of IP practitioners is undergoing a fundamental shift. The role is expanding beyond legal filing and litigation to incorporate strategic data governance and stakeholder management.
