LSPN North America Spring Highlights

This year's attendees include:

America's Premier Life Sciences IP Event - When Tickets Are Gone, They're Gone

LSPN Spring 2025 sold out weeks before the event, and we expect 2026 to follow suit. With demand at an all-time high and attendance intentionally capped to preserve the intimate, high-caliber networking experience that defines LSPN, early registration is essential. Don't miss your chance to secure your place at the most sought-after life sciences IP gathering in North America—register now before spots fill up.

Why LSPN North America is Now America's Most Sought-After IP Event

For eight years, we've brought together the brightest minds in pharmaceutical and life sciences intellectual property. What started as a vision has become the definitive platform where patent professionals from across Europe, North and South America, and Asia converge for two intensive days of strategic insights, cutting-edge legal developments, and unparalleled networking opportunities.

In an industry where robust IP valuation and protection determine the success of biopharma and medtech companies at every stage, LSPN delivers the strategies, connections, and knowledge that drive competitive advantage. This is where innovation meets protection, where global IP strategies are forged, and where the future of life sciences intellectual property is shaped.

At this year's LSPN Spring:

Master the evolving patent eligibility and prosecution landscape — Gain actionable strategies for navigating §101, §112, and obviousness challenges across antibodies, biologics, diagnostics, and AI-integrated innovations, with comparative insights from USPTO and EPO perspectives.
Defend and extend your market exclusivity — Hear from leading in-house and outside counsel on proven Hatch-Waxman and BPCIA litigation tactics, Orange Book positioning, biosimilar defense, and lifecycle management strategies to protect your most valuable assets.
Unlock the potential of cutting-edge therapeutic modalities — Explore the latest IP strategies for gene editing, cell therapies, RNA technologies, and AI-driven drug discovery, including CRISPR licensing, freedom-to-operate, and claiming strategies in rapidly evolving spaces.
Navigate the global patent landscape with confidence — Stay ahead of the latest UPC and EPO developments, parallel revocation proceedings, inventive step divergence, and cross-border portfolio management strategies spanning Europe, Asia, LATAM, and beyond.
Build smarter, leaner IP operations — Discover how leading life sciences companies are leveraging AI-powered prosecution tools, optimising in-house versus outsourced workflows, and structuring high-value licensing and M&A transactions to maximise ROI.
