Webinar: Patent Prosecution in 2026 – The Real-World Impact of GenAI in Patent Practice

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has captured the imagination of virtually everyone, from science geeks and nerds to the technophobic. It is hard not to see the potential AI presents in so many areas. And the patent industry is no exception. And with quarterly, if not monthly advances in what AI technology can do, many practitioners will be surprised to learn what is possible today.

Join us on Tuesday, December 2, at 12 PM ET, for a discussion about what AI can do for patent practitioners, and how Generative AI is literally transforming every stage of patent prosecution — from drafting and prior art search to office action responses.

Moderated by Gene Quinn, this panel conversation will feature leading patent professionals who are using patent-specific AI tools today. Samir Riyani, CEO of IP Author, John Laurence, Of-counsel with Cole-Frieman, and Elizabeth Shipsides, Patent Attorney and Founder of The Bazile Group, will share how they use AI today, lessons they have learned, and how you can and should be more productive and persuasive.

Among other things, we will discuss where AI adds the most value, where attorney expertise remains irreplaceable, and how teams are integrating GenAI responsibly while maintaining quality and security. This interactive session will provide practical insights and real-world examples to help patent professionals understand how to use AI effectively to enhance precision, efficiency, and strategic depth in their workflows.
