EPO // The role of patents in an AI driven world

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already transforming societies and economies and will continue to have a disruptive effect long into the future. Accordingly, patent offices are preparing themselves by tackling the most recent challenges and looking for opportunities in this fast-moving field. 
 
Join the 2 half-day digital conference “The role of patents in an AI driven world” on 17 and 18 December 2020. This conference builds on the success of the EPO's first AI event, “Patenting Artificial Intelligence” in May 2018, and provides a platform for policymakers, investors, inventors, SMEs, academics, and IP professionals to exchange views and share expertise on AI and IP rights.
