After lunch and exhibition networking, the agenda continues with sessions on cross-border IP enforcement across the EU, UK, GCC and Africa and AI-powered LegalTech for IP management and compliance. Further discussions examine strategic patent litigation and protecting innovation in international markets, alongside IP monetization, licensing, royalties, and global commercial structures.
The first day concludes with the Leadership & Excellence Awards Ceremony, providing an opportunity to recognize contributions within the intellectual property community.
Day Two: Enforcement, Commercialization and Emerging Technology
The second day expands the programme into Enforcement & Strategy and Commercialization & Emerging Tech. Opening sessions address developments surrounding the Unified Patent Court and examine how AI, data, and intellectual property can create new commercialization and revenue opportunities for innovators.
The programme continues with discussions on landmark IP litigation trends in the UPC and UK courts, as well as IP valuation, investment, and M&A due diligence. Another session examines trade secrets versus patents as strategic tools for protecting valuable intellectual assets.
Emerging technologies remain a central theme, with sessions covering blockchain and smart contracts in IP licensing and the use of generative AI in legal practice and compliance. The afternoon programme also addresses international trademark disputes, litigation funding and risk management in EMEA, predictive analytics, eDiscovery, and autonomous LegalTech.
The conference closes with a forward-looking session titled “Future of IP in EMEA: Innovation, Regulation & Global Competitiveness 2030,” followed by closing notes.
