In 2025, the IPO Annual Meeting will bring together thousands of IP professionals in San Diego for three days of comprehensive educational sessions, thought leadership, and networking focused on patent, trademark, copyright, and trade secret management.

IPO Annual Meeting 2025: Essential Information

Venue: The Manchester Grand Hyatt in San Diego, California, USA
Booth: 213
Questel will be present at booth 213 throughout the event. Schedule a meeting with our experts to explore how our IP management solutions can support your organization’s intellectual property strategy and help you maximize the value of your IP portfolio.
We’re also pleased to share that Kevin M. Bronson, Registered Patent Attorney at Colson Law Group, will be presenting a key session at the IPO Hub: “AI Ethics 101 and the USPTO.” The presentation will cover the use of AI-based tools in practice before the USPTO and client representation, focusing on key regulations 37 CFR §§ 1.56, 11.18, 11.101, and 11.106, addressing candor, certification, competence, and confidentiality.
Through engagement letter examples and AI tool demonstration videos, attendees will gain practical guidance to meet USPTO standards and CFR requirements. The session will conclude with a concise quick-reference guide to support ethical and effective AI use in IP practice.
We encourage all attendees to join this insightful session and deepen their understanding of responsible AI integration in intellectual property.
