20/20 Vision – How Will the IP System Adapt to a Changing World?

The next decade will bring waves of emerging technology stretching the bounds and constructs of our IP system, and sparking new regimes of IP specialization. What are the challenges we will face and how will the IP system adapt?

Technology will not only challenge the IP system, but will also enhance it with tools such as big data, AI, blockchain and others that will transform our practice.

Taking a step back from a more traditional discussion of specific areas of IP practice, Mid-Winter 2020 will consider the challenges and opportunities in a look ahead from the perspectives of the bench, government agencies, industry and IP practitioners.
