epi | Webinar: Daily Use of AI by European Patent Attorneys

Venue

Online

Description

This webinar is for epi members & epi students only!

This webinar, presented by Bastian Best, offers a practical deep dive into how European Patent Attorneys are increasingly integrating artificial intelligence into their daily work.

Generative AI has rapidly evolved into a core component of the modern knowledge worker’s toolkit. In this webinar, we move past the hype to examine the concrete, day-to-day reality of GenAI in European patent practice. We will explore how EPAs can effectively integrate these tools to augment their expertise, streamline workflows, and deliver value to clients. However, the adoption of GenAI is not without its nuances. We will provide a clear-eyed assessment of the ecosystem, helping you distinguish between public tools and secure solutions, ensuring you can innovate your practice without compromising professional standards.

What we will cover:
- Practical Use Cases: A comprehensive look at applying GenAI across the patent lifecycle, including prior art search, patent drafting, analyzing office actions, crafting responses, and drafting client communications.

- The GenAI Landscape: An overview of the different types of tools available, comparing general-purpose chatbots (like ChatGPT) with specialized AI patent drafting software and secure, private AI deployments.

- Risk & Responsibility: A deep dive into the critical issues of client confidentiality, professional conduct obligations, and the liability implications of relying on generative models.
