Join an expert panel for a live webinar on 19 May at 10am PST (1pm EST, 6pm BST) exploring how IP leaders are rethinking freedom to operate (FTO) as patent filing volume accelerates and competitive landscapes evolve faster than traditional clearance cycles can keep up.
AI is dramatically reducing the cost and time required to draft patent applications. In response, both established incumbents and fast-moving challengers are filing aggressively to secure strategic technology territory at unprecedented speed. Patent activity is rising in exactly the areas product roadmaps depend on, narrowing the space companies once assumed was open for innovation. By the time conflicts appear in a conventional clearance search, the available options may already be limited.
Why join this webinar?
This session is designed for in-house counsel, patent professionals, and IP leaders navigating increasingly competitive technology markets. As AI accelerates patent filing activity and shortens innovation cycles, companies are facing greater pressure to identify risks earlier, protect strategic space, and make faster decisions around freedom to operate.
Join Elizabeth Morris, Senior Legal Director of IP at Pure Storage, Marcia Chang, VP AI Legal & Success at Tradespace, Kavita Aggarwal, VP Legal at Coupa Software, and Keith Jurek, Assistant General Counsel, IP at Grail Bio, for a practical discussion on how leading legal and IP teams are adapting their strategies to keep pace with a rapidly evolving patent landscape.
Attendees will gain insight into:
- What a lightweight, scalable FTO monitoring practice can look like without a dedicated team
- The tradeoffs between defensive and offensive patent filing strategies
- How competitive landscape intelligence is influencing product roadmap decisions
- What it takes to establish and defend priority in key technology areas.
As the pace of innovation accelerates, approaches to freedom to operate are changing, and so are the risks of getting it wrong. Join this timely conversation to learn how IP leaders are adapting their strategies to maintain flexibility, reduce exposure, and protect future innovation.
