What’s On Your Agenda for IPO?

Chicago is the host city for the 2024 IPO Annual Meeting

The 2024 IPO conference program covers recent developments at the USPTO and Patent and Trial Appeal Board (PTAB), trade secret best practices, and global trademark strategies for the Digital Age. But that’s not all. Artificial intelligence (AI) as applied to patents, trade secrets, and data management also feature prominently on the agenda for the September 2024 event.

Alongside updates on guidance for protecting AI inventions, you can expect to hear discussions and debates on the use of large language models (LLMs) for patents and patent applications, the use of AI for patent search and analysis, and how to ensure trade secret and data protection when using AI tools.

Other hot topics scheduled for discussion include standard essential patents (SEPs) and the need for improved IP awareness through corporate IP training and education.

The trademark and design track also promises fascinating presentations on subjects as diverse as branding in sports, social media pitfalls and best practices, and the (design) right to repair from an international perspective.

Discover Questel’s AI-Elevated Solutions at the 2024 IPO Meeting

The impact of AI on the IP sector is the lead topic at the 2024 IPO Meeting—and for good reason. AI-based technologies have already disrupted traditional ways of managing, maintaining, and protecting IP, and there is more to come.

We’re excited to showcase our new Preparation & Prosecution Copilots, which harness generative AI, automation, and advanced data processing to assist with everything from patent drafting to prosecution workflow automation, claims mapping, and office action responses.

An approach that puts the human professional at the heart of our innovation roadmap, so that our AI tools support and amplify human expertise rather than seek to replace it.
