24th Annual Rocky Mountain Intellectual Property & Technology Law Institute

The IP world is changing faster than ever. Agentic AI systems are making autonomous decisions. Quantum computers are redefining what’s patentable. “Dupe culture” is blurring the lines of trademark infringement. And every IP attorney faces the same urgent question: How do I integrate AI into my practice before it disrupts my career?

The 24th Annual Rocky Mountain Intellectual Property and Technology Law Institute delivers answers. You’ll learn directly from the people shaping IP’s future: policymakers like USPTO Director John Squires; in-house counsel from Meta, Cisco, Microsoft, and other major corporations; and partners from the nation’s elite IP firms. Whether you prosecute patents, litigate disputes, negotiate licenses, or advise on technology law, you’ll leave with practical tools you can implement immediately.

Real Solutions for the AI Challenge — Four dedicated sessions go beyond theory to show you exactly how to use AI tools in IP litigation, patent prosecution, licensing negotiations, and law firm operations. You’ll see demonstrations, compare platforms, and learn what’s working in actual practices.

Faculty You Can’t Access Anywhere Else — Mark Lemley on patent law. James Pooley on trade secrets. USPTO Director John Squires on policy direction.
