Day 1

4:00 PM THINK TANK: CAPTURING MORE VALUABLE INVENTIONS BEFORE THEY'RE LOST

Every organization has innovations that never reach the patent team. Whether they're forgotten, poorly documented or never recognized as patentable, the result is the same: lost value. In 2027, IP leaders are combining AI, closer inventor engagement and smarter workflows to surface and capture the ideas that matter most. 
  • Learn where invention capture commonly breaks down, from missing disclosures and unclear ownership to misaligned incentives and over complex forms.
  • Explore practical ways to improve collaboration between inventors and IP teams, making it easier and faster for engineers, scientists and product teams to share what they're working on.
  • Compare different approaches to using AI as a helper, (not a crutch) to spot promising ideas, triage disclosures and support drafting without handing invention over to the machine.
