Drive Strategy, Maximize Value, and Master the Future of IP Management
March 2-3, 2027 | Union League Club, Chicago
Connecting the global IP community in the heart of the Midwest across dedicated Patent and Trademark tracks.
250+ Attendees
40+ Speakers
2 Dedicated Tracks
The global IP landscape continues to face a period of profound disruption. With the continued acceleration of generative and agentic AI, legal departments face complex challenges around patent validity, trade secret governance, and brand protection. AI also poses significant internal pressure as senior IP leaders face tighter budgets and headcount pressure while facing increasingly complex challenges. In this environment, it has become more important than ever for IP to act as a strategic business partner rather than a filing function.
The World IP Review Summit returns to Chicago for its fifth edition in 2027, bringing together IP owners and key stakeholders for an event that has been acclaimed for its interactive discussion on the most important topics affecting IP counsel today. We’ll discuss the biggest issues impacting IP strategy, litigation, trademark and patent prosecution, trade secrets and IP portfolio management across two days.
