2026 In-House IP Webinars

The IP leader's summer listening list

These five sessions — on outside counsel dependency, filing economics, FTO, disclosure capture, and investor diligence — are the kind of conversations that feel more like good listening than professional development. Put them on while you're on the road, at the beach, or anywhere you have a good pair of headphones, and you'll find yourself referencing them in September.

5 IP conversations worth tuning into this summer

The hidden cost of your outside counsel dependency

OG-IP-Watchdog-The-Hidden-Cost

For most in-house IP teams, the docket, prosecution history, and strategic rationale behind every filing lives at the firm. This panel names the five categories of institutional knowledge your team doesn’t own when that’s the case, what it costs, and how to create a different arrangement.

Rethinking the disclosure: from friction to flow

Filing volume is up and search tools are faster — which means the landscape your team cleared is getting crowded again. This panel covers how lean in-house teams are building continuous FTO monitoring into their existing workflows, what triggered each panelist to move from periodic to ongoing review, and where AI is and isn’t doing the work reliably.

In partnership with Patent Lawyer Magazine

Reserving freedom to operate in the era of "patent everything"

Most disclosure processes are built around what IP needs to evaluate an invention — not around what makes it easy for an inventor to submit one. This panel covers how three corporate IP teams redesigned their intake processes to meet inventors where invention happens, and what changed about both volume and quality when they did.

The IP budget math that changes everything

When the cost of a patent application drops by an order of magnitude, the question stops being what you can afford to file and becomes what you should file. This session covers what outside counsel relationships look like when drafting gets cheaper, how FTO strategy changes when search is faster, and what early-stage companies should actually be spending their IP budget on now.

How to keep IP from holding back your next fundraise

Investors are using AI to read patent landscapes, and sophisticated ones are asking portfolio questions that most IP teams aren’t ready to answer in the room. This panel covers what the due diligence conversation looks like now, how to build the story your portfolio needs to tell, and why 6-12 months before a fundraise is when the preparation has to start.
