TOPIC: AI Tools for IP Practitioners
Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming a core competency in legal practice. In 2026, AI tools are available to enhance practitioners’ capabilities for every aspect of litigation, as well as IP clearance and prosecution programs (for copyright, patent, trademarks, etc.).
While these AI tools open up new opportunities, the sheer volume and variety of options present attorneys in law firms and in-house teams alike with a difficult balancing act, weighing cost effectiveness, risk management, and attorney productivity. In short: what are the best tools out there, and how can they improve the value of legal work without generating liability?
In this session, Kyre Stucklin and Allen Kim, along with moderator Meredith Williams, will share practical insights on how AI is being used in real-world litigation and IP practices today. Drawing from hands-on experience, they will explore how all attorneys—and especially IP practitioners—can approach AI adoption with confidence, selecting tools that deliver real value and reliable results.
