What is the Future of IP?
A new, month-long WIPR Focus explores what the future holds for intellectual property's people, technology and rights owners, explains Tom Phillips.
Today marks the start of our WIPR Focus on the Future of IP.
This is a story of the innovations and technology that stretch the boundaries of IP law, connecting you with the individuals, companies and IP professionals who are doing things differently.
For the whole of March, the WIPR Bulletin will include future-gazing articles, interviews, videos and webinars full of predictions on what lies ahead.
Today’s highlights include the ‘AI poisoning’ tools trying to disrupt GenAI, getting our hands dirty with global plant grower Sun World, and fashion’s forward-looking lawyers.
Throughout the month, we will hear from top IP counsel at Meta, ask young IP professionals how they’re using AI; discover who needs to watch out for NPE actions at the Unified Patent Court; and learn why Justin Bieber was able to sell rights to his back catalogue for $200 million when he was just 28 years old.
Also, look out for two thought-provoking webinars on the impact of AI, and junior IP professionals:

We hope you enjoy!
