The intellectual property landscape is changing rapidly as artificial intelligence, emerging technologies, global markets, and evolving legal frameworks reshape how businesses protect and commercialize innovation. Against this backdrop, IIPLA 2026 USA will bring together leading professionals for the 30th edition of the International Intellectual Property Law Association’s flagship USA conference.
Scheduled for September 21–22, 2026, the two-day event will take place at the Hilton Garden Inn, Palo Alto, California, placing IP professionals in the heart of Silicon Valley. The conference is designed as an in-person platform for legal experts, corporate counsel, innovators, technology leaders, and business professionals to exchange ideas and explore the future of intellectual property.
Exploring the Future of Intellectual Property
One of the major themes of IIPLA 2026 USA is the relationship between intellectual property and emerging technology. Featured programming includes a session focused on “The Future of Intellectual Property in the AI Economy,” reflecting the growing importance of AI in patent strategy, innovation, digital business, and legal practice.
As companies increasingly rely on artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies, effective IP strategies have become essential.
