How AI will shape the future of IP management
AGENDA
This panel discussion will feature leading experts from the IP industry and academia to discuss the impact of AI in the short, medium and long-term future:
- We all use AI technologies in our everyday lives without even realizing it. Think of the spam folder in your email account, the last Google search you did, or activating the assisted driving software in your TESLA on your way to work.
- In the same way, AI is making its way into the work lives of IP managers, analysts, engineers and patent attorneys. AI technologies are being used across the IP industry value chain, including patent drafting and machine translation, patent and trademark searches, IP analytics, patent valuation, and data processing for your IP management software.
- AI will reshape the IP industry more than any other technology in the coming decades, IP managers need to understand its potential and limitations.
