| Global IP Activity in the Age of AI 15:35—16:40 (Rm 222) Discussant: Alan C. Marco Panelists: Gaétan de Rassenfosse, Christopher Harrison, Scott Cunningham This panel will explore the current state of global Intellectual Property (IP) activity across patents, trademarks, and copyrights. It will address the challenges of comparing IP data across jurisdictions due to heterogeneity between authorities, even with the WIPO framework facilitating communication and data transmission. The discussion will highlight the growing complexity of IP analysis with the advent of large language models (LLMs), machine learning, and increased processing capabilities. The panel will focus on the difficulties of making global comparisons and the need for the research community to understand these nuances to ensure effective indicators and models for future analysis. |
