Tools of the Trade: AI Automation of IP Applications and Enforcement
AI-powered tools are reshaping how intellectual property professionals draft patent applications, file trademarks, and navigate copyright in an era of AI-generated works. This panel brings together a patent drafting platform CEO, a former senior USPTO patent examiner, a trademark automation practitioner, an IP litigator, and a technology-licensing attorney to examine what AI tools for IP work can do right now and where they fall short. From agentic patent drafting workflows that produce prosecution-ready applications in hours to AI that automates trademark office-action responses, the tool builders on this panel will demonstrate real platforms and real results - while the practitioners share the AI tools they are actually using in their own patent, trademark, and copyright work. Panelists will provide insights into the capabilities, limitations, and strategic implications of deploying AI across the IP lifecycle.
Join panelists, Arthur E. Rothrock, Grant Atkinson, Arrienne "Angel" L., Mitesh Patel, and Ian Schick, PhD, Esq, as they examine how AI-generated patent applications hold up under prosecution and discuss the strategic shift AI enables in patent portfolio management, and much more.
