THE FALL NEW YORK CITY MEETING:
”Navigating IP Strategy Through AI, Uncertainty, & Budget Pressure”
October 29, 2026
9:00 AM - 5:30 PM

IP Counsel Cafe invites you to the Fall New York City Meeting on October 29, 2026. IP departments are under increasing pressure to demonstrate value in an uncertain landscape. Scrutiny is high and budgets are tight. Companies are pushing to do more with less as they adopt AI tools, but what are the limitations? How do you measure the ROI from use of AI tools in the IP space? Where are human IP attorneys indispensable? The USPTO is also signaling changes on IPRs and more. All these factors are reshaping how companies innovate — and how IP teams are expected to protect and create value. What still works? What needs to change? How do IP Counsel stay ahead in these uncertain times? Stay connected, Stay ahead.

AGENDA HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Navigating Changes at the USPTO

  • Litigation Trends and PTAB Updates

  • AI Tools for Increasing Speed and Efficiencies

  • Measuring and Communicating ROI of AI Tools

  • Inventorship in the Age of AI

  • and more! Earn CLE!

Join your peers for a day of practical discussions, benchmarking and networking. Space is limited and most seats are reserved for Corporate Counsel. Register early to secure your spot.
