About the New York IP Circle 2026
The New York IP Circle is a private, invitation-only roundtable bringing together senior IP practitioners exploring the real-world use of AI across patent analysis, portfolio strategy, and monetization.
This isn't a presentation or a panel discussion. It's a candid, peer-to-peer conversation where experienced practitioners share what's working, what's changing, and where AI is creating real value in patent analysis, portfolio strategy, licensing, litigation, and beyond.
Designed as an intimate gathering, The IP Circle creates space for honest dialogue, fresh perspectives, and meaningful connections over a thoughtfully hosted lunch.
The conversation is off the record. The insights are practical. The relationships last well beyond the table.
Come for the conversation. Leave with new perspectives and a stronger local IP network.
