Corporate and law firm IP teams are being asked to manage growing portfolios, support more business priorities, and keep pace with rapid innovation – often without additional personnel or budget. AI offers an opportunity to expand that capacity by reducing the time required for prior art and freedom-to-operate searches, docketing, portfolio analysis, and other resource-intensive work.

But greater efficiency creates a less obvious challenge. Many experienced IP professionals developed their expertise by performing the research, analysis, and administrative work now being automated. If AI removes those tasks from the traditional training pipeline, how will junior attorneys and other IP professionals develop the foundational knowledge, practical experience, and judgment required to assume higher-value responsibilities?

Designed for IP directors, managers, attorneys, and senior paralegals, this webinar on Tuesday, August 25, at 12 PM ET, will examine how lean IP teams can use AI and automation to increase capacity while continuing to build a strong and capable workforce.

Panelists will discuss:

• Where AI is producing meaningful and measurable time savings across the IP lifecycle;
• How automation is changing roles, training, and professional development within IP teams;
• Which traditional learning opportunities are disappearing – and what can replace them;
• How to determine which tasks should be automated and which continue to provide valuable training and experience; and
• Governance and adoption practices that support quality, accountability, and long-term success.

After this webinar, attendees will leave with a practical framework for capturing the efficiency benefits of AI while ensuring that the next generation of IP professionals develops the skills, judgment, and expertise necessary to succeed in an increasingly automated profession.
