The USPTO has made its direction clear: AI is becoming part of examination. Not replacing examiners, but supporting them across claim construction, 102 mapping, 103 combinations, 101 guidance, 112 analysis, and priority verification.

That raises a question most firms haven’t fully confronted yet: If both examiners and attorneys are becoming AI-assisted, what does competitive advantage actually look like?

This panel on Tuesday, July 28, at 12 PM ET, brings together prosecution practitioners and a former USPTO voice to discuss what the Office’s AI strategy means in practice and what it takes to scale AI responsibly across a high-volume prosecution practice.

Key Discussion Topics:

• The USPTO Sets a New Pace: What the Office’s announced AI capabilities actually change about examination and what it means when both sides of prosecution are AI-assisted for the first time.
• Scaling Beyond the Pilot: What AI adoption at scale looks like inside leading firms: governance, consistency, quality assurance, and the operational challenges that experimentation never surfaces.
• The Practitioner’s Role: How firms redesign workflows to maximize attorney judgment, and what metrics actually measure whether scaling AI is working.
