AI for Lean IP Teams: Doing More with Less While Empowering the Next Generation

This webinar explores how corporate and law firm IP teams can use AI to expand capacity, improve efficiency, and manage growing workloads without adding headcount or budget. While AI is delivering significant time savings across activities such as prior art searches, freedom-to-operate analysis, docketing, and portfolio management, it also raises important questions about training the next generation of IP professionals as many traditional learning opportunities become automated.

Designed for IP leaders, attorneys, managers, and senior paralegals, the session will examine where AI creates the most value, how roles and professional development are evolving, which tasks should be automated versus preserved for skill-building, and what governance practices support successful adoption. Attendees will leave with a practical framework for balancing AI-driven efficiency with the development of the knowledge, judgment, and expertise needed for long-term success in an increasingly automated IP profession.
