AI & IP Europe 2026

AI & IP Europe 2026, hosted by World IP Review, returns on 17 November in Brussels, bringing together senior intellectual property professionals from across Europe to discuss the opportunities and challenges emerging at the intersection of AI and IP. The conference will examine the legal, commercial and strategic implications of AI adoption, with sessions covering topics such as AI inventorship, ownership, regulation, governance and the future of IP practice.

Attendees will gain practical insights into navigating the evolving regulatory landscape, including the impact of the EU AI Act, protecting AI-related innovations, managing IP risks, and developing effective strategies for leveraging AI within IP functions. The event is designed to foster meaningful discussion and knowledge sharing between in-house counsel, private practice attorneys and IP specialists representing some of Europe's leading organisations.

Marks & Clerk is delighted to support the event as a Bronze Sponsor for the second consecutive year, reflecting our ongoing commitment to helping clients navigate the rapidly evolving AI and IP landscape. As part of the programme, Lara Sibley and Fiona Phillips will be hosting a roundtable discussion, providing attendees with an opportunity to explore key issues and emerging trends in a collaborative setting.

We look forward to connecting with fellow IP professionals, innovators and business leaders to discuss the practical realities of protecting, commercialising and maximising the value of intellectual property in the age of artificial intelligence.
