Webinar: IP Specific vs. General Purpose AI – Choosing the Right Tool for the Task

IP professionals are increasingly testing and using a variety of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. Some are using general-purpose systems like ChatGPT for ideation and rapid exploration of diverse topics, while others are leveraging IP-specific platforms for precise tasks that demand legal and technical accuracy. Which is the best approach?

Join us on Thursday, November 20, at 12 PM ET for a discussion about driving efficiency and improving quality using the right AI tool for your task. Learn how IP-specific AI tools are customized for the precision-driven workflows of Patent Professionals — from patent drafting to claim optimization and office-action responses, while general AI tools are designed for broader tasks such as reasoning, brainstorming, and generating general content or visuals.

Moderated by Gene Quinn, founder of IPWatchdog, our panel, which includes Carlo Cotrone, Founder & Principal Consultant at Quartal IP, Sivon Kalminov, the Director of the Canon U.S.A., Inc., Intellectual Property Division, and Tamar Gomez, Co-Founder of Ankar AI, will dissect the practical differences between general-purpose AI platforms — like ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot — and domain-specific IP tools customized for patent professionals.

Through real-world examples, the discussion will highlight where each type of AI delivers the most value — and where their limitations lie. By the end of the hour, attendees will understand how to strategically combine general-purpose AI for creativity and exploration with IP-specific AI for accuracy, consistency, and strategic rigor.
