Highlights
We had a wonderful week! From catching up with friends we haven’t seen in a while to munching on (too many) delicious snacks, it was a week full of fun, insights, and networking. We’ve rounded up some of our favourite moments and takeaways – take a look for a recap of the conference!
- ‘Standing Against a Tide Going In’: Day 1’s chair, Neil Crabb from Frontier IP Group plc, considered one of his biggest takeaways from the day to be the importance of accepting new technologies in the world of IP. There’s no use in fighting it!
- To Hoover or Not to Hoover: In his standalone presentation, James Stonehill from NLPatent hinted at the dangers of the word ‘hoover’ in an IP context – watch out!
- Mr Nosy and Little Miss Curious: Focusing on the use of tech for prior art and competitor analysis, this panel touched on the fact that AI and other legal tech should be viewed as an assistant to, rather than replacement of, existing legal practices.
- Where’s Your Value?: Timo Karakashev, CEO, of London IP Week’s Headline Sponsor, Pekama, offering one of the most thought-provoking moments of IP Management day “What holds more value – your patent portfolio or your client list?”
- The Dynamic Duo: Cozen O’Conner’s very own Jim Gale and Barry Golob gave a wonderfully engaging session regarding litigation and patent trade secrets – what a team!
- Hands Up!: After the panel,The Most Valuable Things in Life are Intangible, chaired by Aideen Burke, there were many hands up for Q&A’s, with the most questions ever answered at a Cosmonaut event!
