This year's business theme is “Delivering Value: Patent Practice in a Changing World.”

Patent practice is always changing, and recent years have been no different. AI tools are increasingly being used in patent drafting and prosecution, and practitioners are still working out how much to rely on such tools and where the risks lie. The Unified Patent Court is now a few years in and continues to shape how clients think about strategy in Europe. At the same time, clients are paying closer attention to the value they receive for the fees they pay and are looking to their outside counsel to help them get the most out of every dollar spent. Against this backdrop, this year's Patski presentations could explore topics such as strategies for incorporating AI into one’s drafting and prosecution practice, tactical considerations in light of recent decisions from the Unified Patent Court, insights from the new USPTO subject matter eligibility guidelines, and approaches to delivering greater value to clients without compromising quality. More broadly, we hope to share practical ideas on how we can continue to deliver value to clients in a practice that is continually evolving.
