When every competitor has access to the same powerful AI tools, what sets a company or law firm apart?

Program

AI is changing how new technology gets developed, from software and chip design to drug discovery and materials. That raises new questions about what is worth patenting, how to protect it, and what makes a patent portfolio commercially valuable.

Join the LES Silicon Valley Chapter for a panel on how patent strategy should evolve with AI-driven innovation. Panelists include executives from Google and other AI and IP leaders. The panel will look at how AI is reshaping patent search, drafting, and prosecution, and address the larger question: how do you turn faster innovation into lasting competitive advantage?

  • Where can AI improve patent quality, not just output?
  • Where does experienced judgment matter more than ever?
  • How should individual filing decisions connect to business and licensing goals?

The goal isn't more patents, produced faster. It's a portfolio built around what matters to the business, and around what investors, acquirers, partners, customers and licensees will value down the road.
