The changing pressures and requirements on IP professionals, whether you work for an internal IP department or for the IP practice of a law firm, is something we do not discuss as often as we should. We cover it here, the third blog in our series about the IP Forum 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is no question that the value and service that IP practitioners provide to internal or external audiences is hugely important. What better way then, to kick off our recent IP Forum 2022, \u201cExploring New Frontiers in IP\u201d, by shining a spotlight on the role of the IP professional today.<\/p>\n

In \u201cCharting the modern-day IP professional\u2019s progression\u201d, I was joined by panel speakers from Caterpillar, Emory University School of Law, Henkel and IBM Research. Together, we discussed the impact of globalization, innovation and automation on IP professionals in our forum\u2019s opening session.<\/p>\n

Key takeaways from the session are included below and you also watch our on demand webinar<\/a> on this session.<\/p>\n

IP professionals in 2022<\/h3>\n

IP professionals are being stretched beyond their core competencies in IP law; the ability to think on their feet and adopt an entrepreneurial mindset are becoming ever more important. Critically, the ability to translate complex IP issues into digestible business language is a much sought-after skill.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Educating a new generation of IP practitioners<\/h3>\n

There is a growing focus on multidisciplinary education, working in teams and building a \u201cthink outside the box\u201d mindset, to help IP practitioners succeed in the new technology-driven world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why we should not fear a more automated practice world<\/h3>\n

Automation can, in fact, enable IP professionals to focus on higher-level, more complex work and ultimately deliver better, deeper advice and service.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s forum also featured two unique breakout sessions: \u201cAdvancing knowledge capture in the innovation process\u201d with speakers from Corning, Koch Disruptive Technologies and Arthur D Little and \u201cThe future of IP in the metaverse\u201d with speakers from Meta, NBCUniversal and Innis Law Group . We\u2019ve written about these sessions as part of our IP Forum 2022 series. You can read about knowledge capture here<\/a> and NFPs in the metaverse, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
