Where Opportunity Meets Disruption: The Evolving Role of AI in the IP Legal Workflow

Where Opportunity Meets Disruption: The Evolving Role of AI in the IP Legal Workflow

View Session Speakers

As artificial intelligence (AI) rapidly matures, it is reshaping how intellectual property professionals operate—streamlining processes, unlocking new efficiencies, and raising critical questions about quality, risk, and responsibility. Earlier in the day we discussed AI governance and adopting AI policies and best practices. This panel picks up with the next step—how will and should your people use AI to transform their day-to-day practice, whether that is in-house or in a private sector law firm?

This panel will explore the evolving role of AI in the IP legal workflow, from drafting and populating various IP documents and applications to automating prior art, patentability, and freedom-to-operate (FTO) searches. Panelists will examine how AI is being deployed to surface competitive intelligence, support strategic portfolio decisions, and enhance client value across prosecution, litigation, and transactional work. With new tools and use cases emerging almost weekly, the conversation will address the practical realities of adoption, what you can and probably should be using AI to do today, what AI is likely to be able to do efficiently in the near future, and what the future holds for practitioners and corporations who embrace—or resist—this transformative shift.
